Following the highly acclaimed debut “Blacken the Skies” (2021), TERMINAL refines their industrial glam formula with a touch of “more industrial, more glam.” Noteworthy lyricist Thomas Mark Anthony elevates the genre, crafting intricate rhymes and anthemic choruses around themes of power, zealotry, and corruption. Building on the previous album’s critique of society’s hypocrites, the album kicks off with the compelling line “How many guns would Jesus buy?” The title and theme of the album, inspired by Plato’s Republic, delve into the idea that an unjust society is doomed, and democracy alone is insufficient against demagogues and tyrants. Enriching the mix is Anthony’s resonant baritone, while the lyrics delve into existential topics of religion and mortality, appealing particularly to the Goth community.

Dedicated to Dave Heckman, the album features tracks like:

• “Asymmetric Warfare” (1:11)
• “The Sin of the Sanctified [v4b]” (3:52)
• “Smart Weapons” (4:50)
• “Did We Ask For Truth” (4:09)
• “[Redacted]” (1:05)
• “Don’t Be Taken Alive” (4:14)
• “The New Republic” (5:02)
• “Paradoxical Reactions” (1:17)
• “Fall of the Reign” (5:46)
• “Dirty River [Necrosis]” (4:06)
• “Testify” (4:21)
• “Disproportionate Response” (1:16)
• “Rise”
