There was only ever fire when I awoke
Destruction, malevolence born of resentment
They burned the earth, their hate consumed their homes
No tears, no prayers could save them, all hope for peace was lost
How badly I wanted to believe there was an ounce of good to be found
in this pathetic waste of life
Disgusting pigs sinking in their own shit, multiplying by the day
I could end their misery, it's the merciful way
Ignorance bred ignorance
Charisma led the way
Following ideals set millenniums away
I'll be your deliverance
Join in my soiree
I will set a banquet fit for all the kings that you portray
Just a bite to poison the greedy filth
Gluttonous, gorging on your demise
You owe a debt, it's all that grows,
For every life you stole, the broken dreams,
The hungry ghosts lost in eternity
Strangers to regret and guilt
Born with rot inside
With bated breath I anticipate the end
Of every wretched soul I see
So I may punish them eternally
I'll ascend the throne once more
The one true ruler of the afterlife
I'll ascend the throne once more
And then begin the sacrifice
I wasted my time,
Thinking that hope could be here
That life would be kind
You devastated the earth
And spread like a cancer that feeds on joy
Duty calls me home
Reject these earthy woes
Transcend the grey in-between
Finally clean
I'll dance with death
Wrists open,
slipping into lukewarm oblivion
everything fades white
something better awaits me on the other side
I leave your fucking miserable life

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
