DECEASED aro… Read Full Bio ↴Arlington, Virginia, United States (1985 - Present)
DECEASED arose in 1985, drawing inspiration from BLACK SABBATH, VENOM, VOIVOD, RAVEN, MERCYFUL FATE, SLAYER and SODOM. During the period of 1985-1989, DECEASED recorded and circulated three demos (The Evil Side Of Religion, Birth By Radiation and Nuclear Exorcist ) that galvanized their reputation as trailblazers of original, technical American death metal. The 1988 hit and run death of bassist Rob Sterzel brought Les Snyder into the fold, completing the quintessential DECEASED line-up (rounded out by King Fowley on drums/vocals, Mark Adams and Mike Smith on guitars). Extensive self-promotion and frequent gigging up and down the east coast brought the band to the attention of a brand new label- Relapse Records - to which DECEASED were the first band to sign.

Triangle
Deceased Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And many men have spoke of doom, aboard the Flight 19
The devil's home, some do preach, a force beyond this world
A secret time, that's part of us, a place that is no good
Explain the missing men, lost throughout the years
And all the missing planes, snatched from out of the sky
The triangle, the legend lives, a tale for all to read
An unknown force, that makes us trust,
And what of the soldiers? Astray from their ships
As over 100 are gone
For where are the answers, to all that is "odd"?
Turning all science undone
Has alien life, within our time, marked the planet Earth?
Do UFO's come and go, lighting up our sky?
Do they search and steal, for their own world,
The bodies of our kind?
And do we know, just who to trust,
What's real, and what are lies?
The sea erupts, the sky goes black, the air is numb,
The wind is full, but can't we see, are we blind?
Some time has passed since the last tale,
Of the triangle's disease
But as before, the doom will fall, unto the haunted seas
The triangle!!!
Is this the porthole through time?
Is this the center of mind?
For what has caused this to be?
For now the other world sleeps,
But just how soon 'til the unknown returns to feed?
The lyrics to Deceased's song "Triangle" recount the infamous and mysterious Bermuda Triangle, a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where numerous ships and airplanes have disappeared without explanation. The song references historical accounts such as Christopher Columbus’s reports of strange happenings, as well as the mysterious loss of Flight 19 in 1945. The lyrics also explore the enduring fascination with the Bermuda Triangle and pose questions about the possibility of extraterrestrial life influencing the events. The song suggests that there may be a dark force at work, a "disease" that haunts the region, and that it may have something to do with a "porthole through time" or the "center of mind."
The lyrics also touch on the puzzlement and confusion surrounding the disappearances, with lines such as "where are the answers, to all that is 'odd'?" as well as the fear and awe inspired by the legends of the Bermuda Triangle. The song paints a bleak picture of the region, where "the wind is full, but can't we see, are we blind?" suggesting the powerlessness of humans in the face of such an unknown force. The song ends ominously, warning that "the doom will fall, unto the haunted seas" and raising the specter of the "unknown" returning to wreak havoc once more.

Even though the circumstance is clear, are we refusing to recognize it?
Some time has passed since the last tale,
It's been a while since the last report of unusual activity
Of the triangle's disease
Of the detrimental impact of the triangle's presence
But as before, the doom will fall, unto the haunted seas
As it's happened previously, misfortune will befall the area once again
The triangle!!!
The mysterious and dangerous triangle
Is this the porthole through time?
Does this location provide access to other times or dimensions?
Is this the center of mind?
Is it possible that the triangle impacts our consciousness?
For what has caused this to be?
What's ultimately responsible for this unsettling occurrence?
For now the other world sleeps,
At least for the moment, the extraterrestrial realm is seemingly dormant
But just how soon 'til the unknown returns to feed?
How long will it be before the unexplainable phenomena start up again?
