Crushed and choked by shadows
Splayed by knives of color
Formless gouts prismatic
Grind me down to dust
Awakened for days
Between stages in flux
Suffer we may
But it's never enough
Karmic misdirection
Wounds how they weep
Finding were bound
By the comforts we keep
Crushed and choked by shadows
Splayed by knives of color
Formless gouts prismatic
Grind me down til I am lost and accept anything
There is no relief
Nor solace
Be content
With only the rhythms that sustain
That was the beginning of the end
The lips curl
Exposing fangs
The tongue splits
I drown in the blood
that pours from within
Lost along the way
Longing to go back to that single fucking day
To touch a ghost or feel your memory
I'd still crumble under you gaze
All in all, I lost it all
I don’t think that things went that way at all
Not at all

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan. napalmsatan

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
