Symbiotic in nature, parasitic by choice. The involuntary submission of our earth. Destruction brought on by human needs. Forests of gold turned to desserts of greed. Leeching on the celestial rock for life, continuing substance, a plethora of greed and blind actions. Brutal machines, guided by paper gluttony. Advance beyond the phase, symptomatic foreshadowing. Marking the beginning of a new condition, the human condition. Absorbing the essence of our land, abusing the planets gifts. Osmosis into the core of her being. Eruption of greed moves forward in nature's weakness. Bring in your troops, settle in, this planet is doomed. Extinction resumes to forget the uniqueness. Mother nature cringes as her limbs are forested, her chest is mined, body polluted. Parasitic to this host, draining life from it slowly. Leeching onto the rock, the celestial rock for life. Advanced beyond the phase, symptomatic foreshadowing. Marking the new, the new condition.

Utterly indescribable new record from Greek metal band Locust Leaves features corkscrewing tempos, manic vocal shifts & dense arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 6, 2017
Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito
