YZE

NOTE: Not to be confused with a hip-hop act named Yze, also from the USA.


BAND NAME: Yze
GENRE: Psychedelic / Experimental Unblack Doom Metal
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: USA (Somerset, Kentucky)

Formed in 2009.
The name is pronounced like the English word "eyes".
Andrew confirmed in 2017 or 2018 that the project is still active. However, I've since lost touch with him.

"Yze's composer freely and intentionally sets out to deconstruct what are perceived as the limits of extreme metal and atmospheric/ambient music."

Lineup:
Andrew Randolph (ex-Dronezphere-Psyberia, ex-Rupture) - All instruments, Vocals

Delusion...Sight (album, 5 August, 2013, Independent)
Format: CD

RateYourMusic claims this was released digitally. A reader has confirmed to me this is inaccurate. Andrew had a few individual songs up for download, but not full albums.

1) Fake
7:23, lyrics:
Faked existence
Living a lie
You live how they want
At the expense of your own mind
One day all time will cease to be
The burning up of everything
Destruction and creation incorruptible at once
Dark and Light revealed
Will your walls come down by then?

Tearing open sore wounds
To find what is really hurting you
Open the mind's will to believe
And experience for yourself reality
Prison made by yourself
There is nobody stopping you
Why do you fail to apprehend
The truth that will free you?


2) Peaking
15:36, lyrics:
Asleep for months....controlled by aliens
Too many drugs...organs turned to mush
I don't remember it hurting this much
Ignomious decree...fire standing army
Incremental increase...of intensity
Sanity decreasing...while hitting the peak
Insidious shaking...In remission aching
Incremental increase...of intensity
Insanity increasing in intensity
Incompatibility
Nonsensical eve
I must fight the red army...Unleash the antibodies...

Surreptitiously decreed that these beings should not touch me
Providentially reseethed...why can't I see what is being, done to me?

Leading the red army...the red one in the trees
Attached incorrectly...to reality
Füror entropy...commands reality to mock me
Desert heat surrounds me....night captures, freezes me
Simultaneously
Incongrugency.....a true rarity...of unknown potency
Burning in my nares...a chemical decree
That reality....should make no sense to me
Visions flash all around me....yet i cannot see a thing
Fractal geometry...from which I cannot escape
Coyotes and monkeys
Not a bit of sanity....Insipidity
Formal undertaking...walls that won't stop melting
Earth obliterating...existence unraveling / Terror infiltrating...heart arrythmiating / Pulse cannot be contained / Adrenaline floods me...
.......Pacing.......
Mission of psychotic patterns
Problem of euphoric pain
Moving through my body
Confusion of epic proportions
Numbers won't stop flying
Life has lost all meaning...I don't know who I am.

Why can't I just come back to life? This dry ocean is unreal...still life moves....I am still alive....this world may be real...
Coming down....craving sobriety....the red army will never have victory!


3) Locusts
10:24, lyrics:
The yze haunt you while you're still awake
The fear grips you that you can't sleep
Looking for solace...running out of time
You want the answers...will you open your mind?
You are mortal, and of limited might
He who is infinite appears in His light

All things equalized, all wrongs made right
Will you be ready when the plague hits?
Can't see the sky for the locusts
Can't see the light for our excess
We know not what is coming...

Sky turning black, closing in...wait it gets worse yet!
We have brought on ourselves what we feared most
Leave me alone and let me live, why won't this go away? blood is red and fit for season
Why can't I wake from this nightmare, why won't this go away?
They've left us starving, shelterless
Every tree bare
When will this end? The siege like nothing ever seen
Quick and brutal, efficiently eating all in sight
Completely laid waste...

"The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?" (Joel 2:10-11)

Please make it stop, just make it end, why won't this go away?
This judgement is more than I can stand!
Coming down from the sky in His righteousness...repentance is fit for season
Turn a blind eye to the atrocities of humanity
blood is red and exact for damage...repentance is what you're needing
Urgency can not enough be stressed there is but one pathway of deliverance
Turning once, just this once to the older way...
Know ye that judgement is coming...repent now and be ye saved!


4) Pariah
14:36, lyrics:
Gnawing from the outside looking in
Give you no chance you are different
Disregard reality
They are hypnotized!
Rather be fools than look for truth
Ignoring the voice of reason
A pariah born this day
They are polarized!

I am nothing...nothing more, nothing less...Better than empty...dead shell, alive inside...Watching this world...ignorance on every side...Within and without...no one is immune....A universe of mystery...what can we ever know?...Enough, apparently, to hate the one who's not like you...Looking for an excuse, to give up and blame somebody else...That's much easier.....It's much easier to be numb than to face the facts...Pain follows purging when you receive your sight...Sanity is glory, when from ego death you have been delivered by the hand of God.

So many think that my God is unfair...You don't feel your own pain or don't care...A void deep within you keeps you unsatisfied...You are yearning for truth, yet you lie...The grave's wide open and one day you will die....Have you considered your eternal life?

He's waiting on you. Repent and live!
Its been left up to you. Why will you die?
Follow that which is truth. Seek what is real.
What have you to lose? Accept Jesus Christ!

By the way, if anyone has any other information in general, let me know. I'm sure there are some details missing from that 512cosm website that I didn't get to carry over here.
