lyrics

Bipedal herbivirous basal sauropodomorph
thriving during the Rhaetian age of the Triassic
socket-tooth lizard filling fissures
in the chalkstone quarries of Clifton

robust morph in the population
indicating secondary species unlikely
sexual dimorphism or autapomorphies
small size due to insular dwarfism

roots of its teeth not fused with the jaw bone
but positioned in separate receptacles
long basipterygoid process on the skull
medium-sized serrated leaf-shaped teeth

short dentary in relation to the lower jaw
ilium subquadrate instead of rounded
hands long, narrow, with extended claws
its tail much longer than neck and body

exact cladistic analyses not decisive
placed in its own Thecodontosauridae
ancestral to Massospondylus
preceding the prosauropod-sauropod split

misassigned species as separate genera
carnivorous phytosaurians and Agrosaurus
Scelidosauridae, Anchisauridae or synonyms
Thecodontosaurus antiquus the valid species

one of the first saurian remains discovered
and one of the oldest that existed
once labeled a member of the Squamata
now the very epitome of Dinosauria

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. alienasu

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. Bertrand Marchal

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

I suck at reviews- just buy it. It rips tremendously, and these guys are on the ascent. The shirt is amazing as well. Archmage Orladin
