The cart screeches to a halt and spills me, gasping for air, onto a silver platform. Machines, walking on legs and gliding on wheels, busy themselves all around me, gathering ore and sorting it onto conveyors, moving in every direction.
I grab my steel and spin around the room, aiming for anyone who might have seen me.
No one. Not a living being in sight. Just whirring machines collecting and moving rock.
Cautiously, I exit through a nearby door and make my way outside to the city, each step of the way, passing metal workers, doing the same jobs my comrades and I do in the wastes below.
I try to speak to them, asking them what they’re doing, where their foreman is, or who they work for, but get no response.
They just keep moving, as if I don’t exist. On the streets outside, it’s the same.
Empty mechanical carts steering aimlessly, driving no one living, machines running here and there, busy, with no human in sight whose orders they’re obeying.
I’m uneasy as I make my way down the opulent street. Life below is hard, but the wastes at least teem with life. Cacti and birds and bugs and rats, not to mention those of us working the mines. Yet, up here, a sense of metallic unlife permeates the city. Machines and metal moving along predetermined routes.
As I arrive at the fortress at the center of the city, I feel my steel, heavy in my hand. A knot tightens in my chest, as I kick in the door, still having not spied a single living being.

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance

It's hard to describe this one. It's brutal, it's crazy, it's kicking ass! Some weird and insane shit. It's like a punch in the face…with a Knuckelduster…by your mom…on Christmas. Sælzer Bub
