Multinational metal band, Recode The Subliminal, return with their sophomore album Disconnected. Recode The Subliminal currently consists of 3 members: Jaroslav Lukac (Guitars, Mixing, Mastering) from Slovakia, Devel Sullivan (Guitars, Sampling) from Czechia, and Ryan Strain (Vocals, Lyrics) from the USA. After the success of their first album, The Cost of Every Man, which featured drums and bass by Eduard & Yen Stepanek respectively, the band came back as a trio to start work on a new record. The result was Disconnected, a story album inspired by the Deus Ex game series. This hour-long epic features the band’s signature style, while also showcasing their more melodic side. The catchy riffs, ripping solos, captivating samples and orchestration, and resonating vocals that fans have come to expect from the band after their first album fill every second of Disconnected, but with a much cleaner and more polished sound. As they continue to mature as writers and musicians, Recode The Subliminal are quickly becoming a formidable force in the metal community. Disconnected, which was released on March 1st, 2018, can be found anywhere you normally stream or download digital music.

The Harvest
Recode the Subliminal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even in your prison
Cry out to the great divine
But you He will not know
A reckoning has come to pass
Your chance has come and gone
Fall to your knees and pray for death
And embrace the new dawn
Break the seals of the seven
Judgment rains down upon us all
Cowering in your haven
Your sanctuary will fall
There will be no more chance to redeem when all is said and done
Apocalypse is upon us now
The prophesied end of time
Symptomatic
Spreading disease
Psychosomatic
A mental seize
Cities on fire
Our world set ablaze
Apocalypse coming
The ending of days
Deceivers aligned with darkness
Compose the madness
With false intentions (False prophets attract the weak)
All nations oppose the righteous
And fall astray
Like lambs to the slaughter
The darkest place that you can imagine
On the path before us
Where suffering and misery fester into a plague
Deceivers, believers, they weave their own lies
They're spilling the blood
They're wasting your lives
Feel the wrath of the Heavens
Consequence rains upon us all
Now aware of the presence
Of what you feared to believe
Planted the seeds of your own misery and showered them with hate
Apocalypse is upon us now
And harvest is beginning
Symptomatic
Spreading disease
Psychosomatic
A mental seize
Night everlasting
The story concludes
Darkness contrasting with light and we're cleansed anew
Deceivers aligned with darkness
Compose the madness
With false intentions (False prophets attract the weak)
All nations oppose the righteous
And fall astray
Like lambs to the slaughter
Apocalypse!
Feel the wrath of the Heavens
Consequence rains upon us all
Now aware of the presence
Of what you feared to believe is true
This planet abolished, abandoned to mold
Its intended purpose erased
Its name lost in forgotten history
Deceivers aligned with darkness
Compose the madness
With false intentions (False prophets attract the weak)
All nations oppose the righteous
And fall astray
Like lambs to the slaughter
The opening lines of “The Harvest” by Recode the Subliminal are about the inability of the brightest light to hide from the shadows. This is to say that no matter how much light we try to shine on the world, there will always be darkness lurking around. The darkness is depicted as something sinister that can even penetrate our prison. The tone of the lyrics is bleak, and it is suggested that we are living in a world where redemption is no longer possible.
The song continues on to talk about the end times or the Apocalypse. The lyrics suggest that we are living in a world where the prophesied end of time is imminent. In this world, deception is rampant, and false prophets deceive the weak. All nations have fallen, and the righteous have strayed like lambs to the slaughter. This theme of deception and the Apocalypse is highlighted through the use of vivid imagery that describes the darkest places that one can imagine, where suffering and misery fester into a plague.
The song ends with a sense of finality; it suggests that this world is abandoned, and its name is lost in forgotten history. It emphasizes how the world has been cleansed anew, and the harvest has begun.
Line by Line Meaning
The brightest light can't hide from the shadows
No amount of good can conquer evil
Even in your prison
Even when you may feel trapped or alone
Cry out to the great divine
Plead to a higher power for help
But you He will not know
Your cries may go unanswered
A reckoning has come to pass
Time for punishment for past actions
Your chance has come and gone
Opportunities have been missed
Fall to your knees and pray for death
Hoping for a way out of a dire situation
And embrace the new dawn
Welcoming a new beginning
Break the seals of the seven
Unleashing chaos
Judgment rains down upon us all
Consequences for all actions
Cowering in your haven
Fearing for safety and protection
Your sanctuary will fall
The safe place won't last
There will be no more chance to redeem when all is said and done
Once it's over, it's over
Apocalypse is upon us now
The end of the world is here
The prophesied end of time
The anticipated conclusion of everything
Symptomatic
A sign of problems to come
Spreading disease
The problems are infecting others
Psychosomatic
Mental problems resulting from these issues
A mental seize
Being overwhelmed
Cities on fire
Destruction and chaos everywhere
Our world set ablaze
The world is burning and in peril
Apocalypse coming
The end is near
The ending of days
The ultimate conclusion
Deceivers aligned with darkness
Those spreading lies and evil
Compose the madness
Creating more chaos and confusion
With false intentions (False prophets attract the weak)
Using lies to prey on the vulnerable
All nations oppose the righteous
Righteousness is hard to come by
And fall astray
Going down the wrong path
Like lambs to the slaughter
Sacrificed and vulnerable
The darkest place that you can imagine
The most horrific and awful possible scenario
On the path before us
What's ahead of us
Where suffering and misery fester into a plague
Where problems grow and infect everything
Deceivers, believers, they weave their own lies
Lying and believing those lies
They're spilling the blood
Causing harm and destruction
They're wasting your lives
Doing harm to others and themselves
Feel the wrath of the Heavens
Punishment from a higher power
Consequence rains upon us all
Everyone will be affected by the results of actions
Now aware of the presence
Realizing what is happening
Of what you feared to believe
What was thought to be impossible is happening
Planted the seeds of your own misery and showered them with hate
Choosing to be unhappy and make things worse for oneself
And harvest is beginning
Reaping the consequences of actions
Night everlasting
A never-ending darkness
The story concludes
The end of the narrative
Darkness contrasting with light and we're cleansed anew
A fresh start after all the darkness and trouble
This planet abolished, abandoned to mold
The world left to decay and rot
Its intended purpose erased
No more meaning or direction
Its name lost in forgotten history
The world and its existence forgotten
Apocalypse!
The end has arrived
Of what you feared to believe is true
The worst has come to pass
