Enslaved

|

There is nothing closer to hell than the endless violence of life
A fabrication of filth and flesh
We’ve been enslaved by our own hands
Now we decay and grow complacent with age
Our fate is now at the mercy of wolves
We descend nethermore
To unexplored crevices in the dark
Downhill bliss toward an empty door
Your blood runs cold

Shooting the Gap
02:11
|
|
||
|
Shooting the gap by the edge of a blade only to be left with a plan that went awry
Forever unwanted, forever unspecified
I have not a chance nor a reason to know why
I am fading from the image, dwindling from memory
Failing to recollect what they recall as a friend
I am sick

Black Tide

What exists beyond the light of the sun
Outside the boundaries of this mortal realm
As you realize the beauty in death you surrender to your misery
Black tide, overnight we fade in the silence
We all remain unknowing of choice but you take it upon yourself
To die alone, die before your time
Is there anything more than the aches of this joyless existence
You struggle to breathe but continue staggering forward
What exists beyond the light of the sun
Outside the boundaries of this mortal realm
As you realize the beauty in death you surrender to your misery

Ride or Die

|

|
Release me from this turbulent nightmare, unbind my spirit from flesh
What worth is a life of desire when there’s no hope in the future
Our planet is melting under the rays of the scorching sun
Plummeting through the lawless void of endless space
We fight against the pull of the orbit, the unyielding will of gravity
Overcome by uncertainty
Sick with the fear of the future
Release me from this turbulent nightmare, unbind my spirit from flesh
As a caged bird longs for the skies my soul longs for departure

Corridor
02:03
|
|
||
|
Retreating to the refuge of a lightless trench
I close my eyes to any memory of the sun
Don’t look my way, in my eyes you will see
The frenzied anguish of a rabid beast
Die by age, die by misfortune
Die laughing in manic despair
Die all, one in the same
The bridge has been crossed
Nothing exists beyond the light
My body decays before the corridor
Mind departing from earthly dominion

The Severed Path
02:22
|
|
||
|
What has become of the path ahead
All I see is the end
What will be of our home as we know it when it has become the ocean floor
Bound to the weight of the world, drowning like fucking rats
Eternally infected by the erosion of time
Festering like a filthy wound

Unfathomable Depths
04:06
|
|
||
|
The pain of a past life transgresses into your own
You’re lost in a trance of blinding emotion
Awakened from receding delusions
A storm is churning beyond the horizon
Defeated, musing, resigning to fate
Downhill bliss toward an empty door
Your blood runs cold
We walk forth but do not progress
We only resound what history echoes
Life is nothing but a twisted path
Ages of tedious fabrication
Watch it crumble and erode to dust
Today we ride beyond the fringes of time
We proceed to unfathomable depths
Infernal wastes of dregs and debris

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.

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 14 fans who also own “The Severed Path”
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.
