Slaves to the curse rotting away
No memory to sustain
Everything ends
Drifting further from life
Embers will fade
In the pantheon of old
I'll find my place
I'll ascend to snuff the light
Usurping the fire
What rises may fade - the spread of the dark begins
Seeking its vessels - the flame would be its bane
I covet the throne
The brighter the flame the deeper the shadow
Such is the way
Free from death, left to wander forever
Inherit fire
What rises may fade - the spread of the dark began
Seeking its vessels - the flame would be its bane
The writhing ruin bearing the curse
Always searching wanting for naught
This ghost in the mirror
A mockery masquerading as a living thing
Every pound of flesh, every bleeding wretch
All have failed before to harness the truth
I'm a vessel for the dead
Their secrets are the prizes I lust
Knowledge of demise from the minds of the wise
We've lost but will soon see
for my faith lies in ruins
Let the dark be cast upon the world
wasted to death by sloth
The might of the tempest
for he who lets the light die out
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
