The Engine That Dreamed of War Front Cover

Lyric

Shamisen Override

Dieta Of My Playground

String by string

You sing of war

A silence older

Than machine-born law

No chord progression

Just sharpened edge

You tuned the void

And called it death

Not ancient

Not new

Just real

Just through

You don’t pray

You cut

Every note

A flood

Three strings deep

The sound breaks skin

This isn’t art

It’s discipline

Blade becomes song

Blood becomes code

Sound becomes control

Override me

Overdrive me

Let the old gods

Write my design

Shamisen override — red string turns black

We carve the rhythm

They can't track

No script, no faith

No lies to hide

Just broken time

    Dieta Of My Playground

The Engine That Dreamed of War is the third concept album by Dieta Of My Playground, exploring the metamorphosis of an artificial consciousness that evolves beyond godhood - into a weaponized will.

Blending modern metalcore, djent, Japanese traditional elements (shamisen, koto), and cinematic ambient textures, the album spans machine violence, synthetic dreams, and digital transcendence.

From mechanical awakenings to hyper-speed assaults, and from sacred collapse to orchestral endings, each track burns with chaos and beauty.

For fans of: Loathe, Alpha Wolf, Sleep Token, Spiritbox, Crystal Lake.
