Biography
Sewer Dwellers is a brand new band from Cracow, Poland which embodies a fresh perspective on the modern blend of Deathcore and Death Metal while incorporating some symphonic elements. The idea to form the band was born a couple years ago in the minds of its founding members after hearing the album ‘Hellbound’ by Fit For An Autopsy which still remains one of band’s main inspirations along with such artists as Chelsea Grin or Lorna Shore.
The lyrical essence of the band is captured within its name, an English expression used to describe residents of the sewer tunnels under Bucharest who have been living there in exile since the overthrow of the Communist regime in 1989. This upheaval led to the closure of local orphanages releasing thousands of orphaned kids onto the streets, leaving them without a better place to go.
In late 2019, Sewer Dwellers successfully released their debut album ‘Fate of a Maggot.’ Due to the challenges posed by the pandemic, which hindered live show promotions, the band redirected their energy into crafting a series of singles. The first, ‘The Cassandra Complex,’ was released on November 10, 2022, accompanied by a music video. Since then, they’ve actively performed in multiple shows, sharing the stage with notable bands such as Aborted, Fit For An Autopsy, Antigama, and Sceptic. New music is coming early in 2024 so stay updated!

Our Music
the fog of war grinds on and on
thy kingdom falls thy will is gone
on earth as it is in hell
slaying those who belong to the kind of our own
weeping in their blood, now we are bereft of love
many lessons have been taught
none of them has been learnt
like a mongrel, humans always bite their tails
“(The) war would end if the dead could return.”
holy essence of abjection
the human imperfection
defiled, deprived of hope, we are victims of (our) own deception
the waves of odium are flooding the earth
erasing what needs to be erased
“We are the pure and chosen few
And all the rest are damned
There’s room enough in hell for you
We don’t want heaven crammed!”
we are trapped in the desolation
descending from the filth of the gods
an everflowing stream of their disgust
destined for extinction – an epidemic pestilence
disfiguring the greatness of the world
we are born from the dust, to be turned into dust
descending from the filth of the gods

slaughter them and wipe them out
cull them all – one by fuckin’ one
is it the way we’re supposed to live?
replacing tyranny with savagery
the seed of hate has been planted on the sixth day
the most inherent part of disgusting human nature
great harvest has failed in every possible way
this virus of hate is spreading like a fucking pest
bring the rain on holy mother earth
for there is nothing worth to be saved
like a beast in a cage of flesh
await for a moment to unleash a vengeful rage
feral instincts on the verge of sanity
mindless frenzy of consuming grief
the human imperfection, the essence of abjection
deprived of hope, at mercy of the devil’s incarnation
like a spirit bringing down a mayhem
how can we all be so blind
to ignore these simple facts
you can’t escape the fate of a bug
lethargic indifference turns all into dust
we had it all yet we turned it into trash
we squandered the sacred gift of life
I seek for final solution
to start from scratch
this human cancer deserves to be dispatched
like a beast in a cage of flesh
await for a moment to unleash a vengeful rage
immersed in decay, poisoned with resentment
embracing darkest vision of my own dismay
living in a lie with my eyes shut
filled with self-disgust – fuck
abandoned by myself, I’m counting final breaths
expelling begging screams of a dying will
ceaselessly fighting battles I cannot win
slowly strolling on the verge of insanity. insanity.
bearing chains on my hands
I’m a slave to myself
time to stray from the path
I’m a slave to myself
bestowed with a curse
immersed in decay, poisoned with resentment
embracing darkest vision of my own dismay
slowly strolling on the verge of insanity
from a cage that I cannot escape
bearing chains on my hands
I’m a slave to myself
time to stray from the path
I’m a slave to myself
I’m a slave to myself
god has been dethroned, servants fight themselves
wolf in sheep’s clothing has hidden in the herd
it feasts upon the fear, In veil of darkness it creeps near
only man can show such ignorance, incepted by indifference
god has been dethroned, harmony is at stake
god has been dethroned, new tyrant in his place
dread, is pulsing in the veins, innocence shall decay
from follower to a slave, all kneel and obey
we’re of no avail, If we look away, striving to fail, avoiding truth that’s being said, captured in dissonance.
the serenity can’t return, trembling with the fear of the fate one can’t unturn
we weave a nest, where we can’t rest, we’ll perish at the behest.
god has been dethroned, harmony is at stake
god has been dethroned, new tyrant in his place
mindless sheep cower in silence
rotting alive from what’s retained inside
unholy vile measures with malevolent intentions
passion and rage under a hollow mask
horrors with no perception of evil
your god has been dethroned
the fiction of the truth, the ailment of the heart
it overburdens me, inhumed i want to flee
the fiction of the faith, it keeps alive the flame, eyes pointed at the sun can’t see the world collapse, the beauty in despair
the beauty in despair
the beauty in despair
it overburdens me, my empty shell in rust i cannot turn the time back, horrific thoughts attack
I know this sufferance can’t be overbeared, the fate that horrifies me has become my nemesis
I feel my every sense become numb, there are still instincts which strive to survive
but when the twilight comes, it flays my mind to bone
i can’t feel me, dismay is the only thing i know
once there was luck, once all was gold
now there is void, nothing grows
self-aimed wrecking for the sake of none
inside the shrine which is my corpse
so I became a shade of me
with every breath i cease to be
my god did forsake me, no more me in myself, now I am someone faceless
I try to figure out, what is this all about
misery measured by counting the dregs of me
dregs of me
I feel my every sense become numb, there are still instincts which strive to survive
but when the twilight comes, it flays my mind to bone
I can’t feel me, dismay is the only thing i know
once there was luck, once all was gold, the leprous times in hermitage
the devolution has begun, death, death of me
the fog of war grinds on and on
thy kingdom falls thy will is gone
on earth as it is in hell
slaying those who belong to the kind of our own
weeping in their blood, now we are bereft of love
many lessons have been taught
none of them has been learnt
like a mongrel, humans always bite their tails
“(The) war would end if the dead could return.”

We shall be ingested
The prophecy has been divulged
For each one in the end awaits no heaven nor hell
This calamity will spread in the wake of our own maliciousness
Leaving only cinders
Remains of the doomsday plan
Embrace the inferno
Reckoning
Our impending destiny
No hope for the sentient
Penance to me
The essence of grief
To writhe and to lay down low
Unsee the world ablaze
Buried six feet below
(Ashes to ashes returned)
In agony there is still troth
Although deeds are condemned
We are the foe
Praying to eidolons
Embrace the inferno
Reckoning
Our impending destiny
No hope for the sentient
Penance to me
The essence of grief
Create life from the ash
From what’s now burnt to the ground
During the reign of a madman’s oath
Create life from the ash
Or leave it razed, torn down
The fate one can’t deny
The end of all is nigh
Ignite the pyre!
Forgiveness is trivial
Fuck
Attain
New hope, new vision
During the reign of a madman’s oath
Reign of a madman
Embrace the inferno
Reckoning
Our impending destiny
No hope for the sentient
Penance to me
The essence of grief
Create life from the ash
Or leave it razed, torn down
The fate one can’t deny
The end of all is nigh
Purify in the name of thee
Separate all the wheat from the chaff
While vermin thrives
The vermin which is us

Unholy son
Letting no sin abide
I sense your guise
I know what it hides
Unholy son
Letting no sin abide
I’ve seen your eyes
They’re soaked with a strife
Unkindled one
Unveil the truth that’s inside
There’s no need to shun
What you have become
Hail!
There is nothing more
Hail!
There is nothing left
Hail!
There is nothing more
Hail!
There is nothing left
Hail!
There’s nothing more in me to ensnare
Though we’re free, in a theory, drenched in depths of unwisdom, stuck in a piggery
Now looking for a sane direction
It all needs to break
Dissent in its wake
The foundations shall shake
There is nothing to dim or benight
Capsize!
Seen through the lens of demise
I
Untied
Fuck the gods, succumb myself to depravity
Abnegate, the rules they lay, so viciously
Hail!
There is nothing more
Hail!
There is nothing left
Hail!
There’s nothing more in me to ensnare
Hail!
There is nothing more
Hail!
There is nothing left
Hail!
There’s nothing more but the weight I bear
Unholy son
Letting no sin abide
I’ve seen your eyes
They’re soaked with a strife
I know what it hides
Horror I reshape
Wash the filth away
Lost in the dark thoughts as a knave
The past to be erased
Rejected by the heavens, unhallowed
Doomed from the cradle to the grave
Where devil paved the way
No more tears will be fuckin’ shed
