Here lies the splendour of a family lost
Vice and corruption, wealth at any cost
Now rots the mansion, its secret sins untold
Sinking in the mire, home to only mold
Sordid abuses, blasphemous rites
Witnesses silent, trapped there as wights
Promise of treasure leads many inside
Infested with vermin, in darkness they died
Come inside
Portraits in ruin, devoured by time
Those rotted, blank faces
Lost memories of covered up crimes
They could bury the dead
They could pay off the law
But a stain still remains
And a bloody white shape
Sings its song in the halls
Ever more!
Sinking mansion rots
Rotting, sinking structure
Crawling with life
Obscene shadows of worship
Elite, hate-filled celestial beings
Tragic delusion of superior blood
Time eats away
Nothing will remain
But cautionary tales
Of thy works undone
One of the few technical death metal albums out there whose dizzying virtuosity is matched by its transcendental melodicism. A favourite of mine for many years, and likely for many more. Anna Pest

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito

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
