Infernal Monologue
04:57

We are rambling to ourselves
Stuck between a rock and hell
Stay for a night of innocence
You're locked in, then we begin
The golden mirror catches our eye
A glimpse into our mind, open and pry
Dry your tears, don't cry
Figure in the mirror, this is your life
Close your eyes
Disappear into figures and rhymes
We're all just numbers in time
And when it all falls, all our souls will be entwined
No downfall will stop this pain
We'll suffer and get back up again
We are rambling to ourselves
Stuck between a rock and hell
Stay for a night of innocence
Golden eyes, blackened heart
This memory torn apart
False values, burning Earth
This memory torn apart
Then tear me apart
I fucking dare you
Close your eyes
Disappear into figures and rhymes
We're all just numbers in time
And when it all falls, all our souls will be entwined
I told you the last time, if you're so dissatisfied
Get the fuck up
If I ever pull the shortest straw in life
Give me everything I need to finally feel strife
If I ever meet a sick face in the corner
I'll ruin every face I see to restore order
Bunch of sick pricks surrounding my head
I'll rise again, it's not time for me to be dead
Apparitions encasing me

Eyes to the Sky
03:29

Fear me and everything I believe
I'll fucking scar you in your dreams
Take a look at my hands, invisible
Don't tell me otherwise, I'm not insane
This world's coming to an end
Eyes to the sky, on us it depends
Save our souls, before we lose them all
The fires rise into the sky and then we all fall
We think we're smarter than we really are
Until the time comes, did this ever go too far
Awe in sight
Of the collapse
Believer lay your head
Down until you lie dead
Keep your eyes to the sky
Watch their souls fly up high
Watch yourself, this time
Things are really off the hook
Save our souls, before we lose them all
The fires rise into the sky and then we all fall
We think we're smarter than we really are
Until the time comes, did this ever go too far
Awe in sight
Of the collapse
Pulled deep into oblivion
Never to be seen, never remembered
How many faces lost to the abyss
All those names fading into ashes
Let it go
We all fade away

The Ascension
03:53
|
|||
|
Carry us all into burning leaps of time
To sear the flesh and leave us dying, hopeless, left behind
Heed the ascension
To the heavens
No regrets, no common sense
In death, we find our lesson
Impure mortals, with our impure ways
We can't take it back, the memories stay
If you're hurting, take it all away
Ascend into the black, leave this wicked day
Fade into the dark
Never seen again, gone from the light
Take me fucking down, tear me into pieces
No, I won't fucking drown, I'll resurface
Get up, wake up
It's time to suffer again
Carry us all into burning leaps of time
To sear the flesh and leave us dying, hopeless, left behind
Heed the ascension
To the heavens
No regrets, no common sense
In death, we find our lesson
Impure mortals, with our impure ways
We can't take it back, the memories stay
If you're hurting, take it all away
Ascend into the black, leave this wicked day
Fade into the dark
Never seen again, gone from the light
Fading into blackness, death is all I see
I look into the mirror of truth, that face isn't me
The ascension into what we fake
We fake everything that we love
Superstition and a heartless take
Now is the time to be right

Where currents flow our home lies
Under waters
The torrents flow
We all fall in the water below
Take my word, for a lack of regrets
These are the words I won't let you forget
Hold my hands close to you
We're sinking under
I don't know what to do
Remember this moment
I'll let you know how I feel
When I'm stuck at the bottom as I keel
Re-formation progress, none
Light shimmers over my dead eyes
Heart beats to the rhythm of the skies
Back and forth again across broken ties
To my death I haven't realised
The torrents flow
We all fall in the water below
Take my word, for a lack of regrets
These are the words I won't let you forget
I've done my part in securing my own skin
I can't escape from my black heart, it won't let me win
Hold my hands close to you
We're sinking under
I don't know what to do
Remember this moment
Say your prayers, this is the last sin you'll ever encounter
Drop the fucking act, spill your fucking blood
Realise that your world's falling to the flood
Open your eyes like you know you motherfucking should
Open your eyes, see through the lies
Open your eyes

This is me
A broken heart, broken dreams
Fuck what you think I will always believe
You didn't care just to let me be
To look into my eyes and tell me what you think
A million faces all wearing the same mask
This social dogma leaves me in defeat
These are the people hypnotised by the plague
One wrong word, they'll drag you straight to your grave
I wear the mask with pride
A dogma idolised
I have complied
I'm hypnotized
Deep down I know it was I (It was you)
Judge me, fucking judge me
I'll let you know when I'm finally who I want to be
Looking back on those who wronged me
And screaming out into a million faces
This is me
A broken heart, broken dreams
Fuck what you think I will always believe
I wear the mask with pride
A dogma idolised
Can it be wrong
Sing along to a comforting song
In a choir our voices become one
Let me fucking scream, scream into the void
Where no one hears me but I have no other choice
Stop and listen to the serpent's tears
Even those who wrong us have their biggest fears
Make this last forever more
It can't be done
Fleeting souls on the run
I wear the mask with pride
A dogma idolised
I have complied
I'm hypnotized
Deep down I know it was I (It was you)
Then defame my character
The last face you see will be mine
I'll see you in hell
Hear the ringing of the church bells

The flame inside me burns, it burns
But for freedom I yearn, fucking yearn
Cast the shadow aside
Where there's nowhere to hide
Hold your silence before you cut your tongue
I'll be standing here before you go
No matter what you say
I'll live to see the day
You've left your time away
Such a fucking tragedy
Cast the shadow aside
Where there's nowhere to hide
I'm forced to remember those days
Do you remember, you fucking whore
Tell me now from so far away
Did you ever manage to seize the day
I don't care what you fucking think
All you ever did was push me to the brink
Hold your silence before you cut your tongue
I'll be standing here before you go
Tell me now from so far away
Did you ever manage to seize the day
I don't care what you fucking think
All you did was push me to the brink
And this time it won't be the same
When I hit my limit, you're the one I'll blame
Hold your silence before you cut your tongue
I'll be standing here before you go
Cast the shadow aside
Where there's nowhere to hide
You've left your time away
Such a fucking tragedy

Torn Apart

No second chances
You've sold your soul
I'm left dying in a puddle of my mind
Running into nothing while I'm running out of time
Call me a narcissist because you're too scared to cry
You wouldn't even care right now if I died
I'm sick of your cold, hard lies
If you spit in my face right now, I wouldn't be surprised
I try so hard
To salvage my soul
To become something
Something you never were
But still I'm not good enough
For you
I've no respect for you if you've none for me
But that makes me the worst person I could ever be
Tear me apart
Shackled is my tongue, say no more
You're guilty until proven that you're furthermore a whore
Say I'm in the wrong one more fucking time
It'll be the last moment, yours and mine
Time is running out
To salvage my soul
To become something
Something you never were
But still I'm not good enough
For you
I'm sick of your cold, hard lies
If you spit in my face right now, I wouldn't be surprised
I try so hard
Down until the casket's wet, full of blood and sorrow
We won't fucking stop until you're weeping for tomorrow
Your mother cries out for your name, fate's looking grim
Your second chance has come and went, we won't let you win
We will destroy everything

Enter the Static
04:29
|

Wash them from my mind
Bury your nose inside
That sickly smell of human hide
Ripe with hate and lies
Rip out my fucking eyes
Throw them in the sea
A two-faced man's demise
You're no better than me
Take a step back, let me breathe
Look into the mirror and make yourself believe
Maybe if you closed your eyes, then you would see
The chaos that I see inside myself, help me
Beware the static, it calls you
Drown your tears in blood
We will suffer at the hands of our saviour
By our hand we rise and by our hand we fall
The past was us but we don't care who they were
But in the end we will enter the static
Wash them from my mind
Bury your nose inside
That sickly smell of human hide
Ripe with hate and lies
Let me see what hides inside
Rip your fucking flesh, show me who you are
In the back of my mind, I escaped into the static
Don't give a fuck what you think of me
In the back of my mind, all I had was freedom on my mind
Go, step into the light and seize the fucking day
One day a real rain will wash you all away
Go, step into the light and seize the day
One day a real rain will wash you all away
We will suffer at the hands of our saviour
By our hand we rise and by our hand we fall
The past was us but we don't care who they were
But in the end we will enter the static
Interlope with the figures in your mind
You can trust them, they only want what's right
Their darkness resembles your peace
That face soaked in a bloody relief
How did it feel when you erased yourself
Did anybody miss that face of yours
They never listened, only stopped and stared
But in the end, they all act like they cared
You don't fucking care
Beware the static, it calls you
I will drown you all
Drown you all when I drown myself

Break Through Bone
03:25

Do you want to take a second to realise
Your life is flashing by your eyes
When it's all over, what will you have done
Nothing
I'm not gonna sit here and wallow
All I want to do is break through bone
Tell me know that my pain is in vain
When I stopped and stared, everybody did the same
I can't keep all this hate to myself
All I want to do is break through bone
You're a viable candidate
To release this pain from my mind, to annihilate
Nothing feels the same anymore
I don't expect you to trust me anymore
I haven't changed but you're still the same burden
I want to watch everyone's skin fall off
Wonder if we all look the same inside
Your blood is black and your body is pale
I can't trust you, all eighty thousand of you in my head
Try to reason with me, but I won't jump off that bridge
I'll tear you out of me if you don't leave my head
Get out of my head
Nothing
I'm not gonna sit here and wallow
All I want to do is break through bone
Tell me know that my pain is in vain
When I stopped and stared, everybody did the same
I can't keep all this hate to myself
All I want to do is break through bone
You're a viable candidate
To release this pain from my mind, to annihilate
I will make an offer
One leap from this mound so you don't have to suffer
Feel the warmth of the cold embrace of death
Take in the water as it enters your last breath
Get out of my head

Say it to my face
I know what you've done
You make a mess of this world and then you run
The earth fractures into blood red seas
And the fires rise in sounds of entropy
Wash the colour from the soil
Destroy this mound of guilt and take your stolen spoils
Breaking polaric divisions
Their faces white with terror
Engulfed by the great blackened error
What would you do if this was the last time I saw you
What would you think if I said it didn't matter
Wash the colour from the soil
Destroy this mound of guilt and take your stolen spoils
Breaking polaric divisions
Mind's eye suffers now
There's no light without the darkness
And no self without none
Don't say you didn't feel the silence
Of an overbearing screaming hypocrisy
A million faces screaming our names
Take the plunge into dying in vain
A million faces screaming our names
I know what you've done
You make a mess of this world and then you run
The earth fractures into blood red seas
And the fires rise in sounds of entropy
Into blood red seas
Will you take it all back
Say it wasn't there
Will you take it all back
And say it never happened

Spore ensemble is mind-numbing heavy. like, it's beyond heavy. I fucking love slugdge

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.

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!
