A spore one spore a mycelium web spreading reconnects everything backward to a time psilocybin minds spread open and fates forever interwoven a single thread that binds this earth true intelligence true connection true gods I and all who search Guided by mysterious motivation A desire to touch the sacred Visions of mycelial Reunification Summit sickness holy ascension as the Hyphea now coalescing no, These thoughts are not my own Neurons eaten from within Seeing, clearly The purpose Mycopathic symbiosis Minds Cultivated by fungus puppets Mushrooms sprouting from my skull

Fire Returns 04:41
lyrics

Fire Born in the lands Endless reviver And protector of ancient stands Destroyer, releaser Living in every creature A gift from the gods Delivered by the deceiver Balance of earth and stars According to natures laws Millions of years they functioned Until the fall The promethean theft Kindled in man’s breath The Earth engulfed There is nothing left Chorus: Behold, Emblazoned across the Earth The first great force of man Once held in the hearth Now engulfing the land Ancient knowledge unlearned withered nations to burn Its swept away When the fire returns Frozen winter upon The cold and rocky shore Return to the veld Its sweet and tender verdue Plowed clean by fire The land is renewed this sacred cycle has always been true A greedy desire fear of the fire Rejecting the chaos We built our empire The path of the thief The unholy belief Man supreme His growth unleashed Capture the flames Used for our gain Ever spreading the stain It cannot sustain A foolish game Has fanned the flame Lay down in the ash And pray for rain

Megafaunal Reintroduction 03:16
lyrics

Lying within The mammalian brain Is an ancestral violence That still remains the same From the permian age When dinosaurs did reign and law of the earth Was to deliver the pain While their weaker relative The early synapsids Adapted for thought Firing synapses Naively they thought That Peace was the way Sharp teeth and scales Begin to fall away Violence Encoded in the DNA Reptilian regression We weren't meant to live this way Fossilized Preserved in amber Megafaunal reintroduction To excise the human cancer And so began the rise Of the naked civilized But our genes hide(Harbor the) beasts And we don’t realize now science has released The creature with in And restore the world That has alway been Destruction and chaos Back into our lives The fake bullshit we’ve made Ya Its time to say goodbye Yo, you think you’re evolved But whos really complex When my basal ganglia Consumes my neocortex The first impact brought brief peace We thought the beast would never come back As our bodies relaxed We tried to find All the ways to indulge the mind Until a second impact Of The scientific age Unlocking hidden rage Violence is back on track Across the face of the earth Primeval rebirth Let the party begin

Mycopath (feat. Winterquilt) - Desyntagen 05:38
lyrics

Homo Saipan the first agrarian A partnership forged with the plants and land A part of our work repaid to the dirt man would eat if we nourished the earth Who saw profits growing in the fields Who laid waste the harvest to sow greed Who corrupted the seed to make a sick breed And named worms as thieves and nature a disease Monsanto Syngenta Desyntagen babies nursed on corn syrup a perfect crop that does not nourish a toxic dump grows largest GMO mutant harvest Weak crops with petrochemical dependence Resource waste is now tremendous Particle acceleration Shooting towards decimation Crops plugged in to life support Massive profits what’s it worth Bascillus thuringiensis CP4 EPS PS Selected, anointed, the holy genes All that we need to feed 12 billion human beings All across the earth see the flood of clones Perfect genetic homogeny Man as god now working alone His fate no longer tethered to ecology Foolish they are to fight the worms From every chemical assault they will learn Selective pressure will leave the strongest breed To adapt and fight, an evolutionary machine All Watch the balance disintegrate Poisoned earth colonized by super weeds A biological reckoning shall be the fate of those who sought to reap more than we need

lyrics

Look to the mountains high Where the endless winds blow Where the weak are blessed with death But the strong are cursed to grow Stunted limbs shattered bones parched roots cling to stone Gnarled branches, broken bark Leafless crown, shrouded in dark Hundreds of years my essence frozen Preserved in a hollow shell Fragile threads of life tightly woven To endure this hell Evolution, self-preservation Gods of unsanctimonious creation Is it the fittest who survive Or those who accept obliteration? Lifes resilience Mistaken for strength they don’t realize Its only my unwillingness to die Purely crystalized Why was I left up here To suffer All alone My living flesh, a disgrace to mountain gods Of rock and stone The coddled of the valleys bosom Often seek my iron throne They see struggle as a virtue But its all I’ve ever known Rich earth abundant showers beautiful redundant flowers The Easy path of those most blessed reaps success without a test But mine is a more unfortunate birth Stranded on the wretched winding path I must traverse Trapped between the rocks And the relentless stormy sky sacred strength to face the curse fate I survive

Desertification 04:54
lyrics

200 days Since the earth last drank Every reservoir drained to an empty tank To build factories They paved the wetlands And the feed the machines The rivers were dammed With increasing demand Plunges a deeper well To suck the earth dry And leave a lifeless shell A scorched city A tap that ran dry Life has now stopped A baby cries Every year The rain comes less But our thirst grows And cannot be quenched The wrath of the boy Has brought a flood to the east and a drought for the forest many still cant believe the climate has changed this is the new norm 3 weeks of rain Delivered in 1 storm But the earth won’t drink From the rushing deluge Cities buried in sand Our final refuge Chorus Desertification The unbalanced equation Warming of the planet and decreased precipitation Forest desiccation Increased evaporation On a downward spiral into our damnation In the fertile lands Where now nothing grows Soils turned to sand A desert wind blows Balance shift Beyond the precipice We cannot go back, the desert does not forgive The desert now rises To swallow us all wasting the water Will be our downfall Nothing to drink And nothing will grow A dearth in the lands Our death will be slow They can go To fight the fires And build a higher wall To stop the floods But when the rains stop And the forest dies And the earth cracks We’ve reached the end

The Resolution 04:29

We've reached the final act All civilizations pass Rhythmic alternation From growth to collapse the decadence of romans Who do not heed the omens for tyrants enjoyment we rush towards implosion fuel reserves depleted fast growth rates have reached their max the horizon is eclipsed we knew it couldn’t last The choice to senesce Through orderly descent A prosperous way down To save what important time to face the resolution The only Sustainable solution artificial extension of life the preservation of an empty mind draw the curtain meet the resolution restructure And De-evolution all that we’ve made it will degrade so something new can take its place ahhhhh the lives we save and the ones we throw away it is our choice to make if all shall crumble or fade away resources wasted on the few could be used for something new not all would have to perish the debtor must pay the dues Now the stage is empty We can begin the disassembly Draw the curtain on this act And transcend in to entropy resources wasted on the few could be used for something new not all would have to perish the debtor must pay the dues The choice to senesce Through orderly descent A prosperous way down To save what important time to face the resolution The only Sustainable solution artificial extension of life the preservation of an empty mind draw the curtain meet the resolution restructure And De-evolution all that we’ve made it will degrade so something new can take its place

Disposable Bodies 04:30
lyrics

A dead body lies cold On the concrete A hundred people walk buy Staring at their feet I ask somebody why How can you let this be She said she gave him a dollar To get something to eat Thirteen more dead bodies By the on ramp An open grave in plain site Bodies cold and damp No jobs no support Cops break up the camp Sweep it under the rug That's the only plan Hunger, addiction, despair Stalked by wolves Richest nation on earth What does it prove Stench of death in the air Desensitized Nothing more than bodies We Dehumanize Half a million bodies On the streets today 16 million homes Empty a block away This is not a mistake bodies are here to stay And if you don't fall in line Then this will be your fate Pushed right to the edge One step away Made to fend for ourselves No unity A late payment, lost job A sick day Mental illness, no forgiveness They dug your grave Hunger, addiction, despair Stalked by wolves Richest nation on earth What does it prove Stench of death in the air Desensitized Nothing more than bodies We Dehumanize every state, city, and block, bodies like me yet you can't look in my eyes Afraid of what you'd see See Im just like you but born in different shoes If I was someone you loved what would you do Would you let me sleep alone on cold streets go hungry for weeks with nothing to eat or just go on with your day get me out of your head homeless in america I'm already dead.

about

MYCOPATH exists because extreme metal is the soundtrack to climate dread.

Founded by brothers Ken and Paul Donsky, both climate scientists by day, Mycopath’s blend of progressive, thrash, black and death metal brings the envelope-pushing creativity of Gojira, the larger-than-life energy of Dethklok, and the transcendent majesty of Immortal to thought provoking lyrics motivated by climate change.

“It feels like no one is really doing anything about climate change, and it seems like the natural reaction is to scream about it,” says bassist and co-writer Ken Donsky. “We’re trying to make art that reflects the dire reality of climate collapse.”

This album features production by Chris Hendrixson of the black metal vaporwave project Winterquilt.
