Sculpted into life by the hand of fucking death
Carved from grief into beauty
Carved from pain into salvation
Lotus blossom is running deep
Into foulest black earth
Rotting, putrid, earth
These scars of wisdom
They are my solace and my sword
These scars of wisdom
They are my armor and my shield
Carved from grief into beauty
Carved from pain into salvation
Lotus blossom is running deep
Into foulest black earth
Rotting, putrid, fucking earth

Barren Harvest
07:18
|

|
The garden of my being left unattended
Devoid of light
Overrun with weeds
Darkened soil
Only death grows here now
Seeds of hope sewn long ago
Beneath the permafrost
Darkened soil
Only death grows here now
Never to sprout
Never to see the light of day
A barren harvest
I reap

Absolute Ruin
03:48
|
|||
|
Shattered pillars
Scattered bones
The rats scuttle
Through the remnants
To wander amongst absolute ruin
The last vestige of man
A race towards extinction
The final end
Dust chokes the air
And obscures the sun
The fog of death creeps over me
And across the bloody soil
The sound of thunder rolls in the distance
As rain begins to fall
Upon this morbid land
The gods laugh

|
Sinking into lesser realms
Descent into matter and time
An endless wheel of suffering
My path lit only by the dwindling inner flame
Seated at the edge of the
Antechambers of eternity
Offering sacrifices of former self
A journey mired by loss
Longing to return
A call from within
To finally rest in silence

A Deeper Shade of Sorrow
08:45
|

Take a look into this pained heart
and you will see the deepest shade of emerald
Take a look into these shattered eyes
and you will see you are everything, I am nothing
I am everything, you are nothing... and everything
A deeper shade of sorrow
A deeper shade of sorrow washes over me
It washes over me
Bathed in crystal tears
I cry out for redemption
Beseeching the heavens
Again and again
To make things right
If only for a moment

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

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.

Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list
