Ambition spewed from a stream of consciousness lending shape to a reflection of self
Focused are dreams born from a restless mind
Forging a purpose from more of their kind
Gather distraction and cast it aside - focus is prime!
Committing conviction to concepts contrived - powerful drive
Ardent assertion connecting the ties - theory applied
Fervent aversion to common insight - rejecting outworn notions
Ascending aspiration to the apex of cognition
Strengthening resolve to persist to fruition
The fire fueled
Desire fed
Resolve to pursue with reckless abandon
Persist
Pursue
Aim to surpass all expectations
What value is retained
When painless profit gained
Through struggle solely
A worthwhile reward attained
Amidst the masses
Nonsense reigns
Exude dissension
Becoming
Caustic to a world without feeling
Caustic to a world without feeling
Turn, the gears turn
The machinery quaking ever stern
Earned, every step earned
From this gained ground, there is no return
Fractured at the core
Ceased momentum's force
Fragile state machine decision defines who we are
Lost, or led astray?
Regardless, we say, the weakness will fall away
No love lost, none for the disavowed
That affliction will not bring this down
Step by step ascending the mountain
Arms outstretched reaching for the summit
Ever extending our reach, a firm inclination yearning to grasp the fortune that we seek
Never concede to the cynic inside
Conquer content and harness pride
Step by step compulsion pushing onward marching growing weary
Hoping for the resolution deserved, letting the sleepless finally rest when all is said and done
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
