Silence the Sensor-:- Oh! We advanced but went in the wrong way, The art form of communication now binary, When did we cross the line, of being inept? We got killed building in the mainframe, Invisible wires, stretching for miles, Always plugged in and live Where do we go from here? We all need that mother fucking update Silence the sensor in you Enslaved, you serve It rings, you come running Silence the sensor in you Breathe in, log off Look up, and breathe out… It’s so pitiful We only rely on the digital Just to trend our lives away I feel sick, I don’t even get it How we willingly participate Paint the town in a shade of red Spill the blood that runs through all this technology Broken down to a simple code Bow your head, expose your neck to pull the plug It’s so pitiful, we only rely on the digital We all need that mother fucking update Silence the sensor in you Enslaved, you serve It rings, you come running Silence the sensor in you Breathe in, log off Look up, and breathe out… Silence!

Ethereal 03:17
Ethereal-:- Running from silhouettes, Roll down the curtains Don’t let the light in I’ve seen enough of my life go out the window Leave me here to be, ethereal Terrified, terrified Cuz I’ve been here before But it takes even for me to overcome Tonight, there’s no return Grit between my teeth, oh please I don’t need your sympathy I’m a pragmatic deadbeat Undeserved potential in me Wasted on learning how to fulfill A craze for a comfort Instead I just further derail I can hear the silence deafening I got me involved I can hear the silence echoing And it tears me up Running from silhouettes, Roll down the curtains Don’t let the light in I’ve seen enough of my life go out the window Leave me here to be, ethereal Terrified, terrified Cuz I’ve been here before But it takes even for me to overcome Tonight, there’s no return I’ve barely even scratched the surface Tonight, I’ll take a knee, I’ll leave it all exposed Leave me to be, Leave me the fuck alone. Peeling paint infects my walls There ain’t a thing that you could do My mind is numb, heed unwelcome There’s no return Tonight there’s no return

Krypton 04:38
Krypton-:- I’ve been here before, But there are things I cant bear to tell you I’m having dreams, I’m having dreams of it I’m having dreams of it And I know the only way to save you from the fire Is to watch you burn I’m having dreams, I’m having dreams of it I’m having dreams of it The sun was setting a normal night, An earth dressed in crimson light Before the mayhem was underway The reasons were flawed the intentions were pure Our understanding had outweighed the good So much for wanting to change the world Everything you want is death Or at least you don’t know it yet But the stars are better from afar Cuz every step that you take forward You don’t see yourself moving two back I see circle come full, a deluge of sin The worst of all within I’ve been here before, But there are things I cant bear to tell you I’m having dreams, I’m having dreams of it I’m having dreams of it And I know the only way to save you from the fire Is to watch you burn I’m having dreams, I’m having dreams of it I’m having dreams of it My eyes don’t see the world They only protect what my mind forgot My eyes don’t see the world Only conceal these memories These fucking memories I’ve been here before, But there are things I cant bear to tell you I’m having dreams, I’m having dreams of it I’m having dreams of it And I know the only way to save you from the fire Is to watch you burn I’m having dreams, I’m having dreams of it I’m having dreams

Trade Lie Census-:- They’re counting your self worth In numbers and currencies What are you bringing to the table? Fork out your health, your time, and freedom ‘Til the money machine is fed stable You think you rule my world But I’m the bastard of all your sons I see all of your hidden teeth And through all your fucking smiles How are we meant to progress And work for men, while holding their pockets For respect? How do you want me to pay? When money talks, but talk is so cheap You never win Their grasp forever exceeds their reach And you’re the prosthetic they need You’re either so far under the thumb Or just a mean time contingency Wipe your mouth, come clean When you’re selling these chains to me I speak your tongue; I trade your lies, I am the corporate devil in disguise How are we meant to progress And work for men, while holding their pockets For respect? How do you want me to pay? When money talks, but talk is so cheap You never win I’ll get what’s mine I’ll get what’s mine Change the power, We don’t belong to them, don’t belong to them Be the reminder, Don’t belong to them, don’t belong to them They make you believe its copper bottomed Until you sign under the dotted line Who am I to question the ways Of the hands that fed me Son of a family to never taste The ail of making ends meet But I seen the faces, the circumstances Of those who deserve much more And I fear for my own and what we become Oh god it feels so wrong It feels so wrong Oh god it feels so wrong It ain’t a lie, if you lie too Ain't that the truth? Everybody just makes their own Aint that the policy man? Who’s ahead can fucking break the contract...

Shelter 04:07
Shelter-:- I don’t belong to this terrain Limits and boundaries are set by the rule And the contour of all that we create But I refuse to resign That I’m bound to a society Cold and maligned I know a body that holds Somewhere that I can call home It was there for our beginning and knows That we will all be erased Pull me down beneath the waves Show me havens where secrets remain Cuz I’m not concerned about now I only care about where I start again And the ocean is our sacred origin Shelter me for ages, and hide me from the day I want to live down in the darkness And remain a mystery Cuz the world don’t understand me And maybe I’m to blame But I got my head under the surface Spread my heart across the seas Pull me underneath Pull me underneath Pull me underneath Spread my heart across the seas I don’t belong to this terrain Limits and boundaries are set by the rule And the contour of all that we create But I refuse to resign That I’m bound to a society Cold and maligned Pull me down beneath the waves Show me havens where secrets remain Cuz I’m not concerned about now I only care about where I start again And the ocean is our sacred origin Shelter me for ages, and hide me from the day I want to live down in the darkness And remain a mystery

Got the Gift 05:03
Got the Gift-:- I got the gift; the means to explain But the more I know the more I’m forlorn I hold the crown but see all its mistakes Take back from me my intellect Cuz I can’t use it I observe, and just waste my time Deflect from the hidden agenda There are things here that don’t belong Theories I can’t deny, reasons that opened my eyes Lessons that freed my mind are taking shape Leave me what’s left behind I got the gift, I got the gift Ignorance is bliss I got the…. I got the gift I got the gift; the means to explain But the more I know the more I’m forlorn I hold the crown but see all its mistakes Take back from me my intellect Cuz I can’t use it Reduced as a laud to me, and I know, Their truth is a lie, these pages and lines Unfold vile design I see the signs I can see the… I can see the signs Once you see you can’t undo What your mind is so well taught to I thought I had the tools to put it all to use So I could change it all To change it all Reduced as a laud to me, and I know, Their truth is a lie, the pages and lines Unfold vile design I see the signs, and I know Their truth is a lie, the pages and lines Unfold vile design Cuz I can’t use it…

Mirrors 03:07
Mirrors-:- Damned if I do (move on) Damned if I don’t (let go) Guilty of having soft hands, but you’re are stained with blood Always ambivalent, as you’re working your lies out I’m wiser to the words I’m wiser to the ways I see right through The smoke and mirrors you exude to me Set me on fire Burn away the truth Cuz maybe I’m a liar But something tells me so are you Everything that I loved A solid foundation, a sense of integration A connection adorned Everything you’ve become An imitation, a filth forever jaded You are a fucking fraud Father you were right…. Got back the life, got back the life That you stole from me Set me on fire Burn away the truth Cuz maybe I’m a liar But something tells me so are you Father you were right… You are a fucking fraud

The Hunt 03:25
The Hunt -:- Your world, and your life Are nothing but a game to me I’m terraforming the places you love To fucking hunt you down Try all you want to use your surroundings to hide But you’re better off running I’m terraforming the places you love To fucking hunt you down So many lies I let pass, everybody thinks that I don’t have What it takes to cut you down to size Rabid with bones that are post-mortem cold And the look of murder in my eyes Use the dark, take the night But the shadows all belong to me I am the apex, the calculated Regret is a feat I don’t fucking have Your world, and your life Are nothing but a game to me I’m terraforming the places you love To fucking hunt you down Try all you want to use your surroundings to hide But you’re better off running I’m terraforming the places you love To fucking hunt you down I’ll fucking hunt, I will hunt you down I hear you cry, I can hear you pleading form here That don’t do nothing, that don’t do nothing to me I got my mind set, Killer instinct kicking in me I know you’re scared I see every move you make with the fear Your world, and your life Are nothing but a game to me I’m terraforming the places you love To fucking hunt you down Try all you want to use your surroundings to hide But you’re better off running I’m terraforming the places you love To fucking hunt you down I’m already behind you

Never Been Clear -:- Relapse! Back to the beginning again Empathizing voices within mean to conspire I need to find my totem Cuz I’m in a dream deferred, and it’s growing dire Maybe I deserve disgust, deserve disdain Cuz I found a solace and a poise With those who feel the same Who feel the same… Me and all my dreads, coalesced Fed into me so far I barely know who represents What were once episodes, Takes me again and again And I feel I’ve lost control Looked for hope and found more pain Does it make me sick, That I know feel even more in place? What were once episodes Takes me again and again And I feel I’ve lost control Release me Calling out cuz there ain’t a thing I can do I was wrong cuz my conscience has never been clear I’m finding a way I’m finding a way to Make it out all right I was wrong cuz my conscience has never been clear Conscience has never been Conscience have never been, Clear…

about

"A Shade of Red" sees the band take a different direction from their previous releases. It represents an amalgam of genres that include Djent, Industrial metal, metalcore, and ingrained traces of Nu-metal. The album directly laments over personal issues and many sociological elements that many struggle to deal with. The aim was to highlight the clash between the "self" and "environment", highlighting the issues associated with technology addiction, corporate cultures, educational systems, and addiction.

After the album's release, the band will be playing international summer festivals in Germany, Portugal, and second headlining spot in Sri Lanka. The first single "Silence the Sensor" released worldwide on the 31st March 2015.
