lyrics

Shake your fists to the sky
Curse the god you choose
You cannot hide from the lie
This is the hell you chose
Rip the blood from the earth
Scatter the ashes of man
Sow your seeds of rage
In this the hell we've chose

The land is burning
The sickness spreads
The mirrors scream apocalypse
This is the end
The trenches dig themselves
Humanity waits in line
Eager to kill to prove
It’s not our fault

Armored with hypocrisy
We forge the world we want to see
Fingers point
Our tongues like whips
Scourging the truth we hate
Empires fall
Structure devolves
Upon each other blame it all
Never look inside to see
The heart of malice beats in me

Mouths preach love
Eyes weep for forgiveness
While we beat
The bleeding idealess senseless
Joining in the throng
Of the spiritually malformed
We revel in the underworld
We use our hate to forge

There is no hope
In the creatures we’ve become
We live our lives
Demonizing everyone
We are slaves to the world
That we have made
Hells already here
Your living it today

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

The atmospheres are frosty, the music dark and foreboding, but the most important ascpet are the RIFFS! The music feels very thought out and well crafted. Good nipple-stiffening metal TheFolkAlchemist

What a truly wonderful album! Somewhere between Folk & Raw Black Metal. Plus, being from India makes it exotic & I totally love Eastern music of any kind so... :) Thanks Harul! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
