Vocals

Being this quick is a different level. I have heard speedy power metal before, and it made me anxious. This feels good. 

Music

I like the pace, and they had some slowed-down parts to keep some dynamics in this song as well. This kind of stuff massages my brain. Very nice riff half-way through. The bass player doesn't mess around when playing in this band. Let's face it - none of them mess around. 

Lyrics

I really would like to know who (or what) Boanet is... Seems like an important force in this fictional universe. 

Gold blood might be interesting. I love the colour yellow! But, bleeding the future... What does this mean? To me, if you are bleeding something, you are letting it go or letting it escape. So maybe the events mean there is no future.

Before anything expelled breath upon the earth
Boanet had formed seething between any of the worlds
That supported pumping vein
Ridden lifeforms for them to feed on
Gold blood

Breeding any life will light a beacon
Leaching through the womb of any creature
Latching onto anything in utero
And trading them with every living human newborn
Grown in each ripe host undetected
Gold blood
Courses inside the parasitic mouth
