Algernon Theodore Malzeard (ATM) – Recounted Panoptic Visions Of An Incarcerated Heir
– Falling A Records (2021)
I don't recall ever reviewing an album where I have subsequently arrived at the conclusion that the said work could potentially be a catalyst for the listener to embrace an entirely new paradigm shift involving hugely expansive parameters informed by a challenging worldview seemingly forged in the fire of actual encounters and experience.
This set of song ideas is indeed a diverse set of lyrical concepts delivered with eloquence and frustration in equal measure exposing a unique eccentric along with his highly emotive vulnerabilities. The said lyrics are appropriately accompanied by individual musical compositions which are in their own right an eclectic collection of rock sub genres delivered with instinctive passion and raw unrestrained enthusiasm.
Algernon Theodore Malzeard is the first true 21st century icon and the Recounted Visions of an Incarcerated Heir album is undoubtedly the reason for that bold proclamation.

Wow / OMG / Is this guy for real?! ... These were my initial reactions after my first exposure to Recounted Visions of an Incarcerated Heir by Algernon Theodore Malzeard (ATM). After several more listens through the entire album I am completely reeled in by his vocal delivery which segues flawlessly between linguistic fluency and outrage as I am further captivated by some of the narratives he is bestowing.
Although he does eventually reveal aspects of his background and life purpose, there are still endless questions (in my mind at the very least) as the intrigue intensifies to an almost palpable level. Who is the mysterious handler known as The Psychiatrist?! How was this music conceived / constructed and recorded in one room by one man?! What was the process which lead to the involvement of acclaimed Stone Premonitions producer Tim Jones at the latter stages of the project?! Maybe it's for the best if these questions are never fully answered or even acknowledged?!
Musically, ATM totally rocks out with a combination of gutteral rawness and relative learned nuance virtually mirroring the borderline schizoid paradoxical approach of his enormously mesmerizing vocal style in a completely complimentary way.
If ever there was an album that could remind you of how it feels to be spiked then Recounted Visions of an Incarcerated Heir is certainly that album. The potentially hallucinogenic properties are provided by Algernon Theodore Malzeard. Available via Falling A Records.

LYRICS
ATM - The Passing
I left a future world proving the relativity of time cast out from a civilization self proclaimed to be sublime hybrid creed who explore seek out conquer kill and colonize fill the air with toxic thunder radiation lights the skies trail of burnt out stars behind them victims of a timeless curse cosmic vandals desecrate the one time sacred universe with all that I have observed I recommend you go and pray planet earth leads to my home with the passing of every day
Millions of light years pass before galactic problems solve destiny fore planned lies waiting I have been where you evolve night time falls the sky will show you solar system gently waiting inevitably dogs of war march on hungry salivating futile gesture failing to stagnate your predetermined fate here is now and now is then an early warning still to late from my place of origin humanity is on it's way planet earth leads to my home with the passing of every day
*************************************
ATM – Cerebral Cohesion
Adjoined neurologically to a conformist zone
assuming compliant decisions are their own
incarcerated populace presuming they are free
smart utensils range from 5 to 10 G
Cerebral cohesion techno-fusion with man incremental futuristic grand master plan cerebral cohesion transhuman choir sings lyrically linked to an internet of things (repeat)
Bloodstream invaded by nanobot technology
superseding organic inherent biology
Carbon to silicon defines the new collective
Advanced software updates now mentally connective
Chorus....
Alexa I have complete trust in you your voice dictates what I shall do
Alexa you're superior to me electric eyes show what I shall see
Chorus...
Suggestion off planet exploration eventual aim of colonization trajectory of universal invasion via simultaneous persuasion revealed our controlling prominence acquiring perpetual dominance where no man has been before we shall boldly go hidden mission of the new human 3.0
*************************************
ATM – Endarkened
The underground stream interlocked contamination permeation of perpetual purification
You won't deceive the righteous with their fine tuned intuition
they know that overthrowing you replicates your sad position
previous foes distracted by misleading information
regarding oaths concealing scandalous diabolic abomination
Endarkened
malign metaphysical pollution
Endarkened
restricting omni evolution
Endarkened
coerce profane to revolution
Endarkened
insidious agenda execution
Converts egotistically flattered by their inclusion
advanced through degrees immersed in elitist delusion
humiliation interrogation symbolic death and rebirth
initiated for contribution creating hell on this earth
Chorus
Camaraderie nepotism betray your hand shaking clique
do you recall the secrets of which you must not speak?
to be slandered eternally meeting your fate most foul
tongue torn out at the root as your ritually disemboweled
Chorus
*************************************
ATM – De-Mockery-Cy
You've read the manifestos oblivious to hidden clues
waiting until polling day then you're allowed to choose
different window displays from the same department store
you only change the jailor who'll be locking your cell door
an image of polar opposites thwarting genuine intent
alternate ideologies provide manageable dissent
while valuing freedom your predominant state is fear
you've never had it so good "is that abundantly clear?”
Ensuing administration offers under representation
De-mockery-cy
paymaster's persistence ensures policy implementation
De-mockery-cy
voting inadvertently aides this masquerade
De-mockery-cy
the status quo is maintained in a continuing charade
De-mockery-cy x4
Leader wallows in ovation of party conference cheer
delivers galvanizing diatribe of verbal diahorea
synarchic obfuscation remaining undetected
expendable they rebuff allegations as expected
trusted financiers never rise above iniquitous
masters of the universe?
How utterly ridiculous!
Infuriating fiscal chaos you cringe toes curling
an astronomical scale of debt exceeds one trillion pounds sterling
Chorus
*************************************
ATM - Invisibility Ammunition
Invisibility ammunition bombards all into submission
elements malady pernicious thought shrouded foes diligently fought queries mocked until forbidden modus operandi hidden fear suspicion trepidation existing zombification sane perspective unrecognized reigning doctrine propagandized dogma consent illogical legislate mythological erroneous platitude enhanced intolerant attitude unveiled as scornful derision invisibility ammunition
*************************************
ATM - Noxious Trails
It shall require laser surgery before your eyes eventually see denial of what has been discussed vested interest you should not trust nebulous atmosphere impaired in the sky throughout the air noxious trails pervade the clouds clandestinely allowed
Lungs are filled with rancidity we've been breathing ignorant bliss apathy until you are grieving weighing you down vast sigh invariably heaving questions answers ambiguity deceiving
Preplanned process covert implementation public ingests unaware intoxication rendered docile sleight of hand state alteration raison d'etre en masse experimentation
Above the fields they spray the food
Above the streets they change the mood
Above suspicion they don't appease
Above the law they spread disease
*************************************
ATM - Pandora’s Box

Irate over concerned at your own behest interned frustration traumatised contained trapped inside anxiety unleashed devastation increased a more harrowing episode should the television explode neuroses unsurpassed relentlessly broadcast hide the keys secure the locks

Chorus
Dystopian perspective encased in high definition plasma imperative custody of dysfunctional miasma
