bcb723 Bought this off a quick sample of the initial single. Wow... very unexpected. Highly technical to the point of intimidating. Have you listened to the drums in the first track?? That fucking intro is ridiculous. And the intensity of the lyrics?? The out of nowhere batshit vocals?? Just a great revelation to hear - especially on the instrumental versions which you can really focus on the interplay between all the players. Nice. Favorite track: A Blunt Description of Something Obscene.

Cyril Glaume A la fois brutal, technique et – par moments – progressif, A Blunt Description of Something Obscene propose une belle tranche de Death Metal chiadé mais couillu qui doit pour beaucoup à son héritage canadien, mais également aux groupes de Deathcore technique ricains. De la bonne came pour ceux qui vibrent aux noms de Beyond Creation, The Faceless ou encore Exocrine.

Excavate Brush aside the lust Interpret the bruises What is it that you think you see? Mesmerized by plastic feelings Heart is pounding A sense of well being slips further away (Mind is empty hollow creed) Heart is pounding Venomous words Engorged by love so insincere Set to decay we sway Over and over day after day We fall further away They promised her a castle They promised everything Now she's left with nothing Except dirt stuck to her name She's floundering In the static Left behind With nothing These pillagers of bodies Our needs This dark portrayal of love Is saddening to see The sorrowful harvest of tender minds Hormonal subjugation A tearing of body and mind I wish that I could feel it I'd take it out I’d take it home If I could only know it If I could just let go Of this savagery Squeezing gingerly My hands around your neck Pining for an answer Is this everything you could have wanted Force fed tales of love and other things Is this everything you could have wanted Force fed tales of love and other things So insincere Set to decay we sway Over and over Day after day We fall further away

She doesn't remember the time, will never understand why Afflicted by selfish acts of selflessness, I've seen her fears she shakes at night, she shakes at night Fissured by your immolation I don't think I will ever understand your mind Perhaps the pain of staying overcame the pain of leaving Ichor seeps of dark candles in place of eyes Her chest her life her mind on fire Feverish since the day The day the knife won Feverish since the day the knife won Heaven save your weary soul (Witnessing something that can't be unseen) I can tell you I can tell you she thinks of you every single fucking day But I don't think she loves you I wish I could tell you otherwise I really wish I could You only wanted your life but you took her's too Every holiday she wonders, yearning for you She's crumbling, her shallow husk withers Like a letter to a friend fades Why would you rather die than raise her? She doesn't remember the time, will never understand why Her chest, her mind, her life on fire Feverish since the day the knife won

Shaking possessed by the hands of god the soul bleeds, trickling away Sunken eyes a sinking ship deeper and deeper Paler and paler Master tell me why Rid me of this pain Cast out the shadows They speak without mercy You can't take me home I belong alone Baptized in irrational fear As the walls cave i feel ever further from myself The Alienist you will find He’s trapped inside your mind Once he finds you His mind binds with you The Alienist you will find He’s trapped inside your mind Once he finds you His mind binds with you Bleeder, bleeder Everything spilling Purge it out Become clean, become new To live is to die, to die is to live Shifting like the tides An effervescent dance between Everest And Marianas In flurries Myopic processing driving rash decisions Master, master take me home Rid me of this pain Molest my mind Arrogation Foolish of the body to assert retention Of the fetid ambience within the ruined precipice Malevolence heaves Cast out the shadows They speak without mercy You can't take me home I belong alone Baptized in irrational fear As the walls cave i feel ever further from myself Look into my fucking eyes There is something wrong with you Bleed when I tell you Shake You fucking wreck, shake Where am I? Why am I on the ground?

The Pale 06:00
Descending Across the skies Bred into malice Rhythms running terrifyingly deep Although we share blood Only differences our eyes see We were at peace with the mother Never squandered her precious gifts Took only What we we needed we were at peace Until you came You saw the devil in our eyes Our lands a ripe breast to be molested You patronized our art You burned it Like a witch's final words Lost in our trees Devilish beings cut our knees These hordes swarm like bees We hear nothing but screams Nothing but screams They took our children To herd like cattle These cruel ‘shepherds of misery’ Both Forced orphanage, ‘the catholic dream Blankets of death, spread our disease But now, you seek to reconcile Repent for what was done Used as a point of pride A trophy on a decrepit shelf To win the hearts of men The violent must defile Must Defile We are a nation raped We are the pale under your bridges But we are not the silent We are coming home Trapped inside this broken world you made for us You bent our pieces into your twisted puzzle We are the men and women born in blood A nation red, a nation dead We are not the silent We are coming
