lyrics

Eden claims a bountiful wealth,
though it’s divined from the expelled.
Hell is a garden of apple trees
with one roped off from the tramps underneath.
Leave me in the lurch;
the wilderness tempts me to attend its church.
Turned my back on the sun,
underwhelmed and overcome.

A skin to shed,
a change to dread.
Remove the head,
destroy what’s left.

Swapped out for a ram.
Goddamn it, I don’t understand.

The fair cruelty of random chance
enlightened the vagrant by happenstance.
Considerate, but terrified.
I know you are, but who am I?

Success for nought,
still can’t switch off.
The crowd applauds
the wrong facade.

I’m a dyed in the wool
boy who cried wolf.

GO!!!

My head is swimming
‘cause I’m too scared to sink.
Out of sync
with everything.

I’m a dyed in the wool
boy who cried wolf.

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

These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
