Discography:


Oasis (EP, May 4, 2024, Independent) (Digital)

1. Electric Chair 2:21
Unfortunately I have awoken again
Still a slave to this fetid temple

Slowly decaying as I watch
And feel everything slowly disconnect

The room is dark and broken down
I can smell my flesh as it turns brown
I am like a worm, never dying

Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig
Fall upon your knees and then you
Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig
In the hole you're gone forever

Bound to the earth
The beatings begin
The flesh is torn from my fingers

Their cries of laughter echo my unheard cries within

I could not move my mouth, even if I still had one

There is no past, there is no future, there is only this moment

I will never sleep, I will never sleep, I will never sleep
Stay awake
I will never sleep, I will never sleep, I will never sleep
Stay awake

I will never sleep again
And this moment brings me pain

My eyes, dry as clay, will not blink, turn to gray
I am forced to stare ahead

2. The Immortal Frame Unchanged 2:31
Mankind's hubris left unchecked
Arrogant foolishness
Arrogant foolishness
Grabbed his neck

Swallowed by the earth
In the bellowing deep
Where the walls are wet
He begins to weep

Suspended upside down
Blood fills the head
And makes him drown
His struggling for breath
Is the only sound
That precedes his death
In the cavern's embrace
Safe in the shadows' keeping

Lights are out
This is how it ends for you
No escape
Oh God I can't take it
Paralyzed
Loss of circulation
Human decay

Sliding faster, sliding further
He can't even feel his legs
Heart is working overtime
Pumping blood between his eyes

Echoes of despair
In the darkness, he'll keep well
The immortal frame, unchanged
Safe in his stone cocoon
For such a long, long time
No more harm can now befall him
An endless appetite
Flesh and sinew are consumed

Only bones to mark the passing
Sealed away from earthly woes
An itch to join him in my mind
To find the bliss far down below
I must go and try to find him
To make his cavern my new home

My hands are stretched in front of me
Now I will become joined to him evermore
Made immortal
I will die alone

3. Oasis 3:20
I'm shaking as I free myself from the hooks
Digging into my arms, hanging me from the roof
My body shaved and cold, I'm covered in filth from head to toe
I need to escape, he'll be back soon
Hobbling down, I see oasis ahead
A sparkling pool in the dead of night
Not a soul to be found, am I truly alone?
My mind has gone numb, and I let out a moan
Time to pollute this lake with my decrepit body
Convulsing uncontrollably as I slip beneath the surface
Holding my breath, but with my eyes wide open
Nature whispers, a cryptid, with dark enticement, luring me to swim deeper
I have nothing to lose, so I happily oblige
Pressure increasing on my ears, bulging out my eyes
Her voice grows louder, a sirens song my mangled brain is desperate to find
Finally my foot touches the bottom of the vast expanse
There is only dark and hollow misery
I've found my god at last
The sweetness of her song has dragged me to the bottom
Forcing water in and out of my lungs
Flailing my limbs as I breathe my last




Exsanguination (EP, November 7, 2024, Independent) (Digital)

1. Straight To Black 2:21
I wonder what you dream about
When you're lying there alone
There's no one there to pick you up
You've turned them all away

I wonder what you dream about
When you're lying there alone
No one to pick you up
You've turned them all away

You're lying there
Making a mess of yourself
Can't even lift your head on your own
Willful, intentional ignorance
Permeating your existence
A string of bad decisions leads
To a vomitous mess on the floor

Give an inch, you take a mile
Slipping into the dark again
Fall asleep, never wake up again

Narcissistic tendencies
Meet a relentless chemical dependence

A deadly combination, leading straight to black

2. Exsanguination 3:18
Exsanguination of a corpse comes first
The body is far too rigid, and unable to be moved
Laying in the cold dark on a gurney, awaiting analysis
I resist as long as possible; I have waited too long
If I cannot bend this stiff to my will, then I resign to my failure
The boiling water is prepared, add the arms to the boil
Cut
Let them soften like pasta
I must look within to find it, that which I desire
Looking for the Worm, the Worm of God
I can hear Him calling me
He yearns to be set free, I must break his chains
Last time I searched for weeks but returned with nothing
Will this time be advantageous for me?

It has been 7 hours boiling in my cauldron
But the voice has gone silent
The Wisdom of the Worm
The Worm of God
Before it fades to nothing
I am closer

Fear grips me as I begin to seek, to find
I hear a whisper, the whisper of the Worm
I desire his secrets

I was trying hard to get inside
But something deep down in you died
Overdose, come back, survive
Breathing but you're hardly alive

I was too late to retie
The cords of your heart back to mine
We would always pray you'd survive
But what's the point when your life's a lie?

3. Child Of The Flies 2:46
The disassociation
Ever playing on my thoughts
I am like an insect in many ways
I feel every pinch and prod

Crawling through my head
They're hiding in the corners of my mind
So bright
Fly into the light and watch it die

Little legs on my spine
Antenna itch in my ears
I want to fly into the light and die
Like a moth caught in desire
A blissful ending, knowing nothing
Of the pain that awaits
Never knowing a moment's peace

Sweating like an ox
Being swarmed by flies and mosquitoes

Crawling through my head
They're hiding in the corners of my mind
So bright
Fly into the light and watch it die

How beautiful are the hands that built this cage for me

Crawling through my head
They're hiding in the corners of my mind
So bright
Fly into the light and watch it die

4. The Bad Samaritan 3:04
I feel nothing far down deep inside
I feel nothing while I rob you blind

I'm a nice guy, just a regular guy
But I've got a little secret
That I like to hide

Keep your eye on your keys
I'll make it very hard to find them
Just as soon as you leave
You'll realize you're missing critical items
EpiPen: gone
Insulin: gone
Gasoline: gone
Your phone: gone

Watch how fast I can drive
I'll take your car and leave you stranded down on 295

And you better hope you never overdose around me
I'll take your coat, your shoes, your shirt, your pants
Everything

I'll rob you blind

You can try and try and try and try
You can die and die and die and die
You'll never get them back
And I'll never give a crap

You will never know what's wrong with me
And I don't want help

You will never know what's wrong with me
And I don't want any help

I'm a menace when I smell weakness
I'll hurt you as much as I can
Don't you know life isn't fair?
I'll make you understand

I don't care if you have something nice
It should belong to me

It's mine
Give it to me

5. Wendigo 1:21
There is something in my window
A strange voice, it speaks to me
There's a creature drawing closer
Please leave me be
If it gets inside
Nowhere to hide

ENVIRO-METAL GARBAGE


BAND NAME: Enviro-Metal Garbage
GENRE: Goregrind (early); Death Metal (later)
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: Portugal

Lineup:
Joel Afonso - Everything


Discography:


Throw Away (demo, June 14, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (Digital)

1. Stone Garden 2:28
2. Introvert Society 2:37




Protection Against Them (EP, June 29, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (Digital)

1. Closed Minded 2:04
(Instrumental)

2. Fail To Prevail 2:21
Open your wings and fly
Crush the devil's seed
You don't need them!
They will betray you!
Open your eyes

Here to stay
Against them
I failed
But you won't

3. Fermentation 3:46
I saw
A black sheep
Eating grass

And I saw
White sheep
Eating each other

Fermentation
They are rotting!

I turned my face away
But the smell of death was pungent
I won't stay
I won't be like them!

I, the black old sheep
Can't face you
Black I am
But not for long

4. Plants For Fuel 3:11
Planta a vida
Na despedida
Passam os dias
Crescem melhor
Sem ninguém por perto

5. From Earth To Space 2:47
(Instrumental)




The Harvest (EP, October 19, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (Digital)

1. To Announce God 1:40
Fragile bodies
Ignorant minds
Trying to conceive a lie
But neither by force nor by thought
Can they presume so high

We talk what we heard and learn from the Lord
But they talk only what fits their skinny clothes
And by force means hypocrisy and social cruelty
Against those who as doves carry the message of God
To upfit this newborn society from the infamous heritance of the snakes

2. Fight No Matter What 3:55
Fight no matter what

Falling creatures from the sky
Hoping the least not to die
The impact crush them against the ground
Their brains squeeze between the rocks
Soaking the well-known terrain

Land of no one
Pause and bemol
Land of pain
Land of the ones who died
In the last war against sin

Grinding teeth
Biting tongues
Squeezing hands

3. Martyr 3:23
Honoured saints are all beaten to death in the harvest of pain
Harvesting the richest of the grain
Never-ending wearing baptism clothes
Weary as the mocking

4. Dictator's Smile 3:12
Matter and substance will fall
Contradictions and blame
The purpose of life
Has been dishonoured

Supreme need for forgiveness
Seeking redemption on things, flesh and bone
Hailing the gods of gruesome worship
Beating the dead horse
Blaming the one that you need
Source of all treasures




Estável (album, February 11, 2025, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

Tracks 3 and 10 are bonus tracks.

1. Benedicta 3:24
Semper virgo - benedicta
Teotokos
Virgem bendita!

2. Beware 4:27
The serpent asked Eve:
Do you want to be like God?
I want it too
But not here!

In the salvation that awaits me
I will behold the face of the Most High
But here on Earth I will not choose sin
Which is the reward of the wicked

Because I hope for something bigger
And I won't be fooled
By the enemy's traps
For the Lord is with me
The Lord is with me

3. Instrumental 3:16
(Instrumental)

4. Chromossoma 3:17
Inside of you there is a hidden place
You don't know
Hail the One who created you
And can lead you there
Chromossoma

A seed inside you
Welcome your soul
God's will perpetuated
Chromossoma

5. Estável 4:26
Fiz voto de estabilidade em Cristo rocha firme
Não olharei à multidão que me cerca como vento
Pois construi sobre a rocha
E não hei de calar o segredo que transpiro
Pois Cristo fala mesmo quando não se ouve voz
E a multidão não ouve a sua própria respiração

A estabilidade de uma rocha está profundamente enraizada
É como uma montanha
A firmeza do mar é a sua força
E o seu ímpeto o seu pensamento

Assim quero mergulhar em Cristo
E beber da água da vida
Para que não me falte a luz sólida da verdade

Enquanto vivo hei de querer-te ó meu Deus
E a morte será a porta do teu reino

6. Old Ways 2:07
This is the way of old
Crippled and bad
Ugly to the bone

Old ways have passed
Behold everything made new

The old man has died
Behold Christ has risen
The gospel of Jesus Christ
Will save us

7. The Mountain 3:58
The mountain is hard to climb
Then look to our Lord up high
He carried the cross for you
You just need to follow Him
No matter how much you fall
Or how deep you are
Just look to his eyes
Embracing his word

The golden mountain of Christ
Is rising inside my soul
I'm trying to understand
But other is holding me back
I'm staring at the peak
Where the Lord is shining
And his glory destroys all darkness

8. Veronica's Cloth 4:00
We man of courage
Like Jesus Christ
Carrying the cross and suffering

What will we do?
What shall we say?
If no one shows up to comfort us

At the height of life
Someone wiped his face
With the care of a woman in love

And we too will not be left abandoned
But we have to value what we receive

A smile
A look
A word

9. We The Winners 3:23
Fight back
You're under control
Lifeless
Facing the cold
Nevertheless
You're on
Fighting towards
The winners
Never to forget
Never to regret!

Hopeless
You start to run
Believing
There is more to gain
Finding
Power inside
When no one cares
You make it your's
Victory!

They started to attack you
They want to deceive you
Making you feel the pleasure of defeat
Laying in your bed when you want to pray
Give it all to Christ and send them back away
Mock their faces
Smash their heads
Pray and forget the flesh
Give it all to Christ!

10. O Reino É Nosso 4:06
O reino é nosso
O reino é nosso
E não há que temer

As chamas estendem-se sobre o universo
Procurando quem o receba
Mas as margens do rio são demasiado estreitas
Deixa-o transbordar deixa-o transbordar

As culpas entendem a tua dor
Quando te achas santo
Mas a verdade não está na hipocrisia
Tudo grita de alegria
Tudo grita a loucura

Deixa-te transbordar
Deixa-te transbordar

Entre as molduras das tristezas que guardas
As paredes do teu quarto já não bastam
Revestidas de suores e lágrimas
Diz o ditado: mais vale tarde que nunca
Mas fez-se tarde e não te levantas

O reino é nosso
O reino é nosso
E não há que temer

11. Per Signum Crucis 4:04
By the sign of the cross we defeat our enemies
By the sign of the cross we create new order

Angels and humans gather around the mighty Lord
Who suffered death to cleanse his breed

Per signum crucis

By the sign of the cross we give thanks to the Lord for its Spirit
By the sign of the cross we gather as one in Christ

To know pain is not to feel it
But to know our sin is to fight against it
By the saving sign of Christ
The mighty cross!




Carved In Stone (EP, January 11, 2026, Coleiosis Records) (Digital)

1. Distorted Tears 3:27
Your god have fall upon
The enormous quantity of self piety you keep
And of course, your treasure: your dog
The one you pervert and keep as the most divine
Even when you think he have to do what you say
Because you cry in front of God and pay him condolences for your sins
But you never really changed
So you call it your god
When in reality you act as it's your dog: the one you amuse

2. Falling And Rising 3:57
Falling and rising, we are living
That's the way
You're never up
You're never down
You're on your way

3. Inner Denial 3:54
Spirits and demons are heading my way
With inner denial I must retain
There is no escape for the one who relapse
They gonna suck you out like an old dress

The glorious Lord came to save me
He crushed the seed of unholy lust
With pleasure I see my children happy
Lord gave me the bleeding trust

4. Seeking The Divine 3:01
The flames that once carried
My inner strength
Had been extinguished with spirit
So I don't starve neither be consumed by them
Now I command as servant of the most high
Judging the nations to come
And Lord of the apocalypse
The end of days shall not enter my flesh
For the spirit of Yahweh brought me life eternal

5. Tasting The Bitter 2:56
Don't sweet tastes sweeter
After you eat the bitter?
Don't pain feel comfort
When you're holding to something?
Hold on and haste with purpose
Don't walk away from you
Embrace the bitter you
He sent the rough so you gain space
To wear you out like an old dress
Then you will be ready to receive

6. Waiting The Day 2:54
There is a contradiction we can't embrace
We think we know ourselves
It happens sometimes we are the opposite of what we believe we are
In secret you know it but you won't admit
It's not ignorance or naivety
It's pure malice
Strategy to win and conquer
To use and abuse
Sin do this to us
Self-preservation don't scream
And you think you're good and kind
Because you feel it
But feelings deceive you
We are a hell of a show
But Lord speaks in whispers

Corazones Perversos (demo)

January 1, 2012, Independent (CD)
2014, Vampire Records (Mini-CD)

1. Quita Esto De Mí (Demo Intro) 1:47
Os daré corazón nuevo, y pondré espíritu nuevo dentro de vosotros; y quitaré de vuestra carne el corazón de piedra, y os daré un corazón de carne.
Y pondré dentro de vosotros mi Espíritu, y haré que andéis en mis estatutos, y guardéis mis preceptos, y los pongáis por obra.
Entra padre porque te reconozco como el rey de reyes y señor de señores Dios todo poderoso, entra en mi vida y quita esto de mí, quita la maldad y perdona mis pecados, en nombre del padre del hijo y del espíritu santo, amen.

2. Hasta El Fin 5:12
Tú has cambiado mi vida, desde el principio hasta el fin, tú te has llevado mi carga y todo mi sufrir.
Diste tu último aliento, todo por mi salvación y es que señor Jesucristo, te seguiré hasta el fin.
Hasta el fin te seguiré, gracias por mi salvación a Jesucristo alabare, con todo mi corazón.

Gracias Yo te doy, porque has cambiado todo mi dolor.

Gracias Yo te doy, porque has cambiado todo mi dolor.

Hasta el fin (Hasta el fin te seguiré, hasta el fin te seguiré).
Hasta el fin (Hasta el fin te seguiré, hasta el fin te seguiré).
Hasta el fin (Hasta el fin te seguiré, hasta el fin te seguiré).
Hasta el fin (Hasta el fin te seguiré, hasta el fin te seguiré).

Cristo cambio mi corazón y hasta el final lo seguiré, él se llevó todo mi dolor, gracias a su amor ahora libre soy.

3. Corazones Perversos 6:52
Guerras, muerte, enfermedades, estamos viviendo los tiempos finales y el amor de las personas se está enfriando.
Guerreros que siguen a Dios, soldados de cristo, levántense, ustedes son montañas y son inamovibles, no dejemos morir a esta generación, espíritu santo por una pasión por Dios, que haga volvernos a buscarte, recibe nuestra adoración y cambia nuestros corazones perversos por un corazón de carne, que para eso tu corazón exploto, para no estar así, la tierra clama por tu poder.
Desciende y consúmenos con el fuego del espíritu santo, quema nuestra maldad y levanta guerreros, que atiendan a la necesidad, muchas iglesias están; sordas, ciegas y mudas.
Ten misericordia y cámbianos, para ser como tú, imitadores de cristo, guerreros, Dios necesita santidad, obediencia, temor y humildad.

Es hora de movernos por los caminos de Dios y hacer la diferencia, dejar de ocultar la verdad, que hay un Dios con los brazos abiertos y que lo están para ti y para mí.
Busca y encontraras la misericordia de un Dios vivo, el único rey y poderoso Jesucristo.

El si perdono, este corazón, lleno de maldad y ahogado en soledad.

El abrazo este corazón perverso y de maldad, me tomado de la mano y me libro de satanás.
El abrazo este corazón perverso y de maldad, me tomado de la mano y me libro de satanás.

Solo a su lado tendrá la potestad de ser su hijo.

Mil veces caí, en la oscuridad, mas ahora entendí que Jesús es libertad.
Mil veces caí, en la oscuridad, mas ahora entendí que Jesús es libertad.

Silencio, silencio el fuego esta por venir, creo que estoy perdido, más siempre está el sobre mí.

Solo a su lado tendrá la potestad de ser su hijo.

Señor, cambia nuestros corazones para cumplir con tu obra, porque no somos músicos, somos ministros tuyos.

Todos te dicen oscuridad, mienten.
Todos te dicen oscuridad, mienten.
Todos te dicen oscuridad, mienten.
La luz está en El.

4. Apostasía 5:59
Cuando los aviones le dieron al edificio en Nueva York, todos los predicadores empezaron a predicar, últimos días, fin del mundo ha llegado, prepárese, Jesus viene pronto.
¡Cállese!
Viniendo pronto no es el mensaje, viniendo pronto no es el evangelio, deje de decirlo.
Tsunami 200 mil muertos, prepárese, señales de los tiempos, viene pronto, deje de mentirle a pueblo.

Nadie os engañe, de ninguna manera, porque el no vendrá, antes que la apostasía.

¡La apostasía!
Y se manifieste, el hombre de pecado, el hijo de perdición.

Hombre insensato, no valoras el don, ni el sacrificio, por tu salvación.

Y no sientes temor por tus pecados, hombre tonto, hombre sin corazón.

No serás hijo del señor.

¡El señor matara!

Con el poder, de su boca y destruirá, con el poder de su venida.

Hombre insensato, de mal corazón, no te importa el pecado pues será tu maldición.

El señor te destruirá pues el pecado será tu maldición.

El señor, te va a idestruir!

5. Memorias De La Oscuridad 5:16
Cuando sucumben las tinieblas, me persiguen los recuerdos, que el insomnio abraza con su terror, necesito de ti en mi interior una guerra comienza, donde la sumisión no me deja.

Mis lagrimas empiezan a correr y todo sigue igual, creo que ya no hay tiempo de volver atrás.

Mis manos cadenas llevan, que sujetas al suelo están, aun sigo atrapado en esta misma oscuridad.

Dios creo en ti, creo en tu perdón, sana hoy mis heridas, entra hoy en mí.

Mis lagrimas empiezan a correr y todo sigue igual, creo que ya no hay tiempo de volver atrás.

Mis manos cadenas llevan, que sujetas al suelo están, aun sigo atrapado en esta misma oscuridad.

Dios a ti te ruego, por mi salvación, perdona mis pecados, acuérdate de mí.

Mi alma camina, sobre un sendero de espinas, no me desampares, no me dejes aquí.
Memorias de la oscuridad.
Memorias de la oscuridad.

6. Sacrificio 7:30
Fuiste clavado en la cruz, todo por amor a mí, venciste la muerte, no tuvieron piedad hacia ti.

En tus manos llagas, en tu costado una herida esta, incrustaron sin piedad, una corona de espinas.

Una corona de espinas, sanaste todas mis heridas.
Una corona de espinas, sanaste todas mis heridas.

Gracias señor Jesucristo, por mi salvación, gracias a tu sacrificio entiendo lo que soy.
Gracias señor Jesucristo, por mi salvación, gracias a tu sacrificio entiendo todo hoy.

Perdón te pido yo, desde mi corazón, el sacrificio vivo te ofrezco mi vida hoy.
Perdón te pido yo, desde mi corazón, el sacrificio vivo te entrego mi vida hoy.

Moriste por mis pecados, moriste crucificado.
Moriste por mis pecados, moriste crucificado.

¡Sacrificio!

Una corona de espinas, sanaste todas mis heridas.
Una corona de espinas, sanaste todas mis heridas.

Gracias señor Jesucristo, por mi salvación, gracias a tu sacrificio entiendo lo que soy.
Gracias señor Jesucristo, por mi salvación, gracias a tu sacrificio entiendo lo que soy.

Perdón te pido yo, desde mi corazón, el sacrificio vivo te ofrezco mi vida hoy.
Perdón te pido yo, desde mi corazón, el sacrificio vivo te ofrezco mi vida hoy.

Moriste por mis pecados, moriste crucificado.
Moriste por mis pecados, moriste crucificado.

Gracias señor, por tu amor.
Gracias señor, por tu amor.
Gracias por tu sacrificio.

7. Como Un Guerrero 7:17
Mi señor y mi creador, me ha llamado para luchar, en los terrenos de satanás, la victoria siempre llevar, no dejare ni me rendiré, como un guerrero yo luchare.

Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.

Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.

Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.

De satanás no tendré piedad y a todo su reino voy a derrotar, la armadura de Dios yo voy a portar y sus ataques no me afectara, acepta a cristo en tu corazón y vence al enemigo como un guerrero.

Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.

Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.

Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.
Como un guerrero.

Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.
Guerra a satán.
