Scraped back lips unveil
Tar stained teeth
In a ritual display
Of hollow acknowledgement.
Gestures of futility
Traded back and forth;
Used to add meaning
To a shit life on a shit planet.
All the while screaming
And beating fists bloody
On conjectures in burning minds.
I thought summer would make me less bitter.
Sobriety was supposed to be a positive change.
I was never able to forget what
It feels like to hate.
I want to slash my own throat,
I want to watch the arterial spray
Glistening in the summer sun
As it stains your shirt.
I want to see your smile fade.
I want to slash my own throat,
I want to watch the arterial spray.
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
Don't get me wrong. This is really good and everything is on point. But I'm just kind of confused about the huge elephant in the room regarding the band's name. Seriously? Like how is this not going to get mixed up with THE Leviathan? The Jef Whitehead 20+ year beast? I mean... what's next - "THE BTLS", "MTRHD" or maybe "VN HLN?" Music like this needs a less obvious touchpoint. Because as much as I like "Eradication of Nescience" - it's now begging to be compared to "Scar Sighted." Aka ... GTFO. bcb723
The UK band bring the wild "Saturnian Black Magick" of their live shows to a full-length rooted in the Swedish black metal tradition. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 14, 2017
