One by one they rise and fall
Perpetual kinetic waves of repetition iterating through mutation to extinction
A certain truth
Reality received
Within the confines of perception
One by one they rise and fall
Every species runs its course
Ending a segment of incremental chaos
All will fade away, stricken from the Earth
Nothing lasts, nothing at all
Idle hands have dug a fault line
Tracing to the end
On a decremented timeline
A population spent
An ultimately meaningless existence
On an arbitrary cross-section of four dimensions
Compress the vast expansion of infinity
To a finite measurable unit
Fitting current capacity so that an end may be conceived
To exit - existence - extinct
Suffer forced attrition
Taken from the mind
Accept the truth
Existing in a fraction of a minuscule and declining portion of eternity
Sever limitations confining understanding - mass delusion
A grandiose self-definition implies intrinsic value in each insignificant step
The culmination of which will most assuredly coincide with mass extinction
A river erodes moving mountains to no greater end - no higher purpose
On an incremental lifeline
The fragile ties unbind
From an ever growing timeline
As all is left behind
Stir of echoes rising falling fading to oblivion
Inevitably lost
Through the vastness of time
Accept this inherent truth
Life simply exists without meaning or value
On an ever growing timeline
All is left behind
In the infinite expanse
Our reflection is lost
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
