For years have the creatures whispered my name from the shadows of the inner circle
They lurk the edge of the void concealed in darkness beyond all humanity
Introspection recognized through disorder a narrow line
Where the voices are heard and the content divined
Soothing for a damaged psyche freely maligned
We file our nails on what objects we find
Vicious and wrathful is hate unconfined
We sharpen our blades with your bones in mind
How the full-human seeks to characterize an innateness existent in all of their kind
Fear
I've found a friend in fear
And wield it at my will
Conjure panic from my hate
Satiate ruthless contempt
Instinctively misanthropic
Implicitly nihilist
Loose the impulse
Swiftly enforce
Exploit weakness
Without remorse
A predisposition constructing ambition to kill - malevolent skill
Torturous dreams which these objects are used to fulfill - sadistic thrill
Perceptive beyond an instinctive reaction - chillingly still
Preying on every inch of their simple-minded understanding
Instinctual cathexis seeking discharge absorbed by a malignant mediator become obsessions that must be carried out
Conscious absurdity in an expanding cycle paradoxically pursuing appeasement for a deep-seated need to control
Rage filling every inch of the whole
Slashing away at your empathy
I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 28, 2021
One of the best modern prog metal groups out there... Even their freshmen years were absolutely fantastic... Great EP... One of the only bands I'm truly saddened by, knowing I don't have their music on vinyl... "hint, hint" enemyofthenight
