Slipping into what seeps into me
A cognition born of aesthetic
Slowly sickening beneath the stench of flesh
I have turned to the pure synthetic
I embrace this new existence
Leaving my identity torn
I was born without a choice
But through this choice, I am reborn
Put on my gloves
Converge, assimilate
Emerge reincarnate
I am made better as I change
To become what I admire
Disown anatomy
Dethrone “reality”
I am made better as I change
I’ll throw it all away
Becoming one with the woven darkness
A second skin as I shed the first
I reject what has been thrust upon me
This vessel soon to harbour my rebirth
The tension rises, overrides us
And we’re ready to blow
Embrace the burn and pretty soon
You won’t feel pain anymore
It’s moving fast, we won’t outlast
But we can do it again
So leave your worries at the door and just
Breathe
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
NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
