Winter Came Early

|
(Lyrics: Torres, Hart)
Peering between frosted metal and stone
Men lined up to the rope
The long darkness lingers
Enshrouding what’s left of our hope
In the night, the din of ringing gallows
Flutters through the air like a flock
The bitter air bites the hallows
As their necks hang by the stocks
Ghastly vengeance upon us who wield the sword
Floundering to make sense of any word
Our deeds are done, and so must it be
A bloodthirsty end, for all will see
Peering through frosted metal and stone
Glints of light drift from a pale sun sky
So many men, prostrated and prone
Desperation flooding their eyes
Northern wind blows furious through the air
Life is wilting, death in full bloom
(The) encroaching darkness has come early
And so has my doom
Beaten, dazed, and herded to the stage
Emasculated and parsed in four
Beloved forced to watch, filling with a noxious rage
Cyclical nightmare restored, spreading as a weeping sore
Ghastly vengeance upon us who wield the sword
Floundering to make sense of any word
[Our deeds are done, and so must it be
A bloodthirsty end, for all will see]
Beaten, dazed, and herded to the stage
Emasculated and parsed in four
Beloved forced to watch, filling with a noxious rage
Cyclical nightmare restored, spreading as a weeping sore
(Solo: Torres)
Northern wind blows furious through the air
Life is wilting, death in full bloom
(The) encroaching darkness has come early
And so has my doom
(Solo: Hart)

A Stain
11:38
|

|
(Lyrics: Torres, Hart)
(Solo: Hart)
Lids sag heavy, encumbered by distrust
Faces contort with disgust
Living evil, driven by greed and lust
Leaving our humanity hollow, a shell, a putrid husk
Last remnants trapped within the desiccated, flaking, crust
Quash any remnant of hope
Hang the bodies by a rope
Struggling through with a blind grope
Struck to the ground, boot to throat
Nothing more than a stain to soap
Hands grasp out, upward to the sky
Reach for mercy, believe the lies
Wickedness incarnate
Dressed in a suit and tie
(Solo: Torres)
Hatred wreathing ‘round a corrupted heart
Constricting, suffocating, killing what we once were
(Solo: Juarez)
(Solo: Hart)
(Solo: Torres x2)
Violence enveloping a depraved mind
We’ve done away with all things pure
Struck to the ground, boot to throat
They’re nothing but a stain to soap
A stain that dyes the whole of the world
A strain that dries decrepit, rotten, and curled
(Solo: Hart)

The Void Chamber
10:55
|

|
(Lyrics: Srikoetkhruen, Torres, Hart)
Eyes ensnared,
Blind sight’s despair,
Watch and Wait, without a care
Lives are seized as common fare
Sights and sounds of ill profound
All televised before my eyes
Silent cries of victims lie
Face down in the muck, defiled
(Solo: Torres)
The tragedy of life around me,
A fever dream or reality?
Bones cast in iron within
Burden the waking sin
(Solo: Van Bodegom-Smith/ Hoetzer, Torres, Hart)
Compressed in a timeless vacuum
Affection a hindrance
A burdensome charge
Love flakes away, as stone from ancient statue
Then dissolving to nothing
My only protection, my only targe
Forever on my own, that I may roam
For the chamber of the void beckoning me home
(Solo: Srikoetkhruen)

Eyes Yet To Open
17:12
|
|||
|
(Lyrics: Torres, Hart)
Sepsis of sin
Fetid our kin
Odorous heat unyielding
Flesh from bone, left peeling
Den of disease
Your pain made to please
Leeches sucking you dry
You sing their battle cry
Eyes unopened to truth
Left to graze without mercy
All’s gone, nothing left to soothe
Sight still strays from all our heresy
Gnashing at the throat of yearning
Putrid wounds pulsing and pursing
Bottled and caged
Your mind but a stage
Ignore the screams of the damned
Lick the shit from my hand
Be a good slave
Cradle to grave
Sacrifice your eyes to the screen
Consume away your hopes and your dreams
Those lost the guardians shant mourn
And the self-caged souls
From rebirth shall be torn
(Solo: Torres, Hoetzer)
Those who rule by suit, fence and gun
Shall rot in the Hell
They so treacherously won
Those left will see through the guise
And the willfully blind
Inherit their fecal prize
Eyes ensnared,
Blind sight’s despair,
Watch and Wait, without a care
Tragedy
or Normality?
Billions blind to their slavery
-
(Solo: Srikoetkhruen, Hart, Torres, Srikoetkhruen)
Those who could rise to the call
The seers amidst the throng
The spirits carried on
Those who would fight to break the chains
Kill your masters
Destroy their game
(Solo: Kanasevich)
Those who will stand before the Gate
May they return
With an open fate

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

Sounds like Cthulhu going on a Benadryl and bath-salts fueled rampage through a Guitar Center while a bunch of the fish people from Innsmouth gang bang in the background. The guys from Ulthar sound more focused this time around, compared to the more meandering bits of Helionomicon (which is also awesome, check it out). And the album art... holy hell.
