Suspend your disbelief
A loss or lack of faith
In lustful gloom this lurking ache
A chase that never stops
Attachment reoccurs
The shallow ways I'll prove my worth
Was your composure compromised?
Was your dignity sacrificed?
Are you staring in
mirrors all smoke, cloak and daggers?
Ten years on the run left me damaged and ragged
Each moment stark, marked with poignancy
I've grown tired of the city and the city's gotten sick of me
A boring endless catalogue of apologies
Shadow powers of recall,
whatever brings you ease
Dealing in ignorance, a roll of the dice just to exercise conscience
An eternity to repent.
Welcome doubt into your home, it's enough to stir the ghosts
Invite doubt into your bones, preempting that sting
I closed the door and kept the darkness in
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
This one really goes deep. Tremendously heavy and bleak, yet crushingly groovy as well. You can easily see these guys destroying any venue they'd hit live with this. The heavy hitting slow to mid-tempo tunes are sort of tranceinducing. It's very easy to listen to it multiple times in a row or even get lost in it totally. mourner
This album is haunting, beautiful, and cathartic. One of the best post-black metal albums out there. I bought a cd on Discogs, but needed the vinyl. Доберман Сатз
