lyrics

I journey forth, into a sea of placid water
Across pernicious passages that thrive on misfortune
After years, I’ve finally mapped my way to Him
Every sound is muffled into nonexistence

This tranquil scene of serenity,
surrounded in a noxious fog yet I continue forward

There She sits stagnant, perched upon her pedestal of ebony
Protruding from black, obsidian depths, massing above the fog.
Guarding His tomb from all who wish to free Him…
So She stands in my way.

CJ McCreery:
[Bloodlust, you will not stand in my way. Disembowel, dissect, disfigure the remains. I slice open her chest and dismember limb from limb to ensure eradication. Decapitate and hoist the lifeless head upon my back, my mangled trophy. Nothing can stand in my way.]

Below the surface within the gorge, a chasm of boundless black

Blood clouds the water

Now the keeper sinks lifeless, fading into the fissure
A forgotten goddess laid to rest

Below the surface, sinking alone
The goddess bestowed a curse
With her last thought, she whispered in mind
“You shall rot while living,”
An affliction: she’s doomed me to suffer life
“You’ll see seasons of flies.”

Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson
