Why can't I get your voice out of my head?
I don't know you, but I need your words;
I want to hear your song...
You're lost in the realm of vice;
you'll take any helping hand…
Why does your face haunt my mind?
The way you smiled when we first met...
What did you see in me?
I saw you were frightened;
I felt the pulse of your heart when you first gazed upon me...
...your mind on fire!
...
What draws us together?
You know how I suffer,
yet you remain at my side...
I remain at your side,
because I need your warmth and you need my strength-
We're from distant worlds, we weren't meant to collide-
We're from distant worlds,
but now it's time for them to be combined!
Our minds are merging, our souls are melding,
our goals are one and the same!
What do you want from me?
I want your fierce blaze to fuel me!
I've made so many mistakes
I can't subject you to my sinful past
I want to be better for you!
...
Infatuation, inamorata,
in devotion I make my stand with you!
...
My mind races at the thought of you…
What has become of us?
...
We are connected...

We live under constant pressure
And one brick is all it takes
For us to lash out
And destroy those
who surround us
...
A moment of strife / reflected back at us (x2)
Returned a thousand fold
We reach critical mass
And the lives around us
Cut down
like a phalanx
(in our path)
In the path of the reaper
Though reinforcements arrive
You only remember
your victims (x2)
...
And they fail to realize
That even though your energy is spent
They too are scarred
(and) they have this power
...
And one brick is all it takes
Yes, one brick is all it takes
For them to lash out
And destroy those
Who surround them

In my dreams I have seen the god of boundaries
The one who enforces the space between us
I have lived through your sorrow
I've tasted your call for blood and shed your choleric tears
Yet your voice washes over the edge of my soul
When I hear it, I only crave more
I'm a shadow without you
I will not be ruled by fear
I am my new frontier!
...
I am the parallel suns...
Now the sky's clear, and my chains decay
Now the sky's clear, and these suns shine on a self that I've set ablaze
A shell that can no longer hold
My phase shift! I'll show you what it means to have all this power...
Now the world burns, and I am fusing my selves together
Only through the flame can I burn the parts of me that are holding me back
To fuel my dreams
And save this sun from its own collapse!
...
Oh, in this age of order, I bring chaos
All that I touch burns with the heat of a star
All that I hold in my hands, I'll guard with my new fire
I am the synthesis of all that came before me
A union forged in flame and fury
...
Plasma soul
Blazing mind filled with thoughts of a brilliant future
Forming my satellites
I shine on you!
(I shine for you!)
…
Plasma soul, burning pyre...
This planet's people are guided by my candescence
This nation's population feels the fire in their souls
Chain reaction (x3)
When I rise
This world blossoms
Into a golden age
Chain reaction (x3)
This rotting world
Will soon be set free
From its own decay
All that I touch burns with the heat of a star
All that I hold in my hands, I'll guard with my new fire.
I am united!
...
Unfetter your soul
Unleash its power
Unfetter your soul
Set the world on fire
Now, you shall light the way forwards
Soul burning for freedom

Planepacked Natick, Massachusetts
Planepacked is (usually) metaltronica - in practice, extreme metal with lots of keyboards and synthesizers. Created by a code-slinging, krav maga practicing transwoman from Massachusetts.
Planepacked recommends:
Misconception
by Critical Defiance
Critical Defiance's debut will smash you into a million pieces, but it's also an intricate and technical work of thrash metal.
go to album
An outpouring of pure grief and rage, through chilling and beautiful neoclassical arrangements. The vocals particularly stand out for their intricacy and (sometimes) violence.

Forget Your Own Face
by Black Dresses
supported by 4 fans who also own “Transactinides”
continuing from FIYH, this is blackpilled as all fuck; written and delivered with the raw candidness and self-mocking bitterness of a high-schoolers journal, and set to beats that are laser-focused to keep my distractable mind topped up on angry dopamine. A tight 21 minutes of weaponised disgust.

Book of Ruination
by Melancholia
featured on Bandcamp Radio Nov 10, 2023
go to album
Fate's Overture
by Mortal Blood
Heavy, immersive, and intense, Mortal Blood delivers extreme metal with a decidedly gothic darkness.
