In the fourth chapter of Uzil, "Berserker!" details the locust counterattack on the COG's (human's) Lightmass Offensive, trapping them within the Tomb of the Unknowns and unleashing the fabled Berserker upon them to squash all survivors.
lyrics
Under unequivocal advisement for the Lightmass Offensive,
The pressure’s mounting on the high command of Locust headship.
On heaps of bodies burning, the Uzil stands before him.
He lunges forward and implants the blade of desecration.
Slaying their squadron leader, surveying grand destruction,
Laughing in satisfaction as he disposes the Lieutenant.
On heaps of bodies burning, the Uzil stands before him.
He beckons onward as he calls upon the wrath of the berserker.
RAAM swears an oath of blood to kill and torture their people,
Decimating every mind and soul with evil feats beyond control.
Rouge and seething, a numb demeanor redeeming,
Slaughtering the enemies of the state is what is done for the Queen’s bidding.
Laughing in satisfaction as he disposes the Lieutenant.
On heaps of bodies burning, the Uzil now stands before him.
Dark spell in memoriam,
The dark horse of Nexus now calls upon the wrath of the berserker.
Into the Tomb of the Unknown,
The coalition knowing not what awaits them.
Escape into a crypt of insanity,
A squadron marching on into biotic absurdity.
Capitulate!
Alone at last from enemies asunder,
They venture deeper into blackened depths, so unfamiliar.
The roars and cries of a blinded behemoth,
They reach its source, staring in the face of death itself.
Berserker!
As he lunges forward and embeds the blade of sacrilegious desecration without disdain,
Dark Horse of Nexus, fulfilling his declaration.
Staring in his eyes in the moment he died, an instant to capitulate before his body’s tossed aside.
A spawn of terror, imploring his fabled Berserker.
As he lunges forward and embeds the blade of sacrilegious desecration without disdain,
Dark Horse of Nexus, fulfilling his declaration.
Hidden in the tombs, they know not what is awaiting them,
Cowering in fear, for they can hear her battle cry!
Under unequivocal advisement for the Lightmass Offensive,
The pressure’s mounting on the high command of Locust headship.
On heaps of bodies burning, the Uzil stands before him.
He lunges forward and implants the blade of desecration.
Slaying their squadron leader, surveying grand destruction,
Laughing in satisfaction as he disposes the Lieutenant.
On heaps of bodies burning, the Uzil stands before him.
He beckons onward as he calls upon the wrath of the berserker.
To kill all left is his prerogative,
Rise Berserker!
Alone at last from enemies asunder,
They venture deeper into blackened depths, so unfamiliar.
The roars and cries of a blinded behemoth,
They reach the source, her voice tumultuous.
Resilient humans gaze on death itself,
For they now hear her chilling battle cry!
Berserker!

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire

I am more a melodeath guy than deathcore, but I enjoy all the symphonic elements or rythym changes. This album is a BLAST omg my neck hurt, so much headbang🤘🤘 olive855
