lyrics

“Mountains; heavy lie the mountains
But they are ever changing
With the passage of time”

Sky, sky of blue
What your eyes can see
And what your eyes cannot
Sky, sky of red
Smell of blood
A bloodless womanhood

A second coming
This is not the first time

My life, my heart, my thoughts
This soul and this vessel are mine
But who am I?
I stand in the cold crimson light

A pale procession staring straight forth
A hundred faces just like mine
And I don’t recognize a one

A language I was never taught to speak
A burden you were never meant to carry
Heavy lie the mountains
Heavy lies the empty space
That hangs between us
Here tonight

Awareness dawns
Of someone who is not me
Who are you?

Who am I now
And who are you?
Who are you?
I don’t know who you are
All I know is I want to
Hold your hand once more

A touch bitter
But still warm

Grindcore ferocity meets metalcore groove meets poppy hook writing sensibilities meets electronic fuckery. Wonderful tunes from some wonderful gals. Anna Pest

Devouring Ruin
by WAKE

Simply one of the best metal albums I have ever heard. Crushing, melancholic, triumphant, and unforgettable. Anna Pest

The Harvest Wombs
by Fallujah

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

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 Jacob Ballance
