lyrics

14. To Be a Pillar
The Blood Coursing through my veins makes me animal
Inorganic propaganda floods my walking corpse
Can’t seem to dodge the projectile of contradiction barreling through
Poker face of the jester, sinister smile with broken teeth
Keeping motives pure requires selflessness not quite understood
Obedience is steadfast in order for masses to survive
Motivation for staying power in the form of dollars and cents
An ego deviance by all makes fight or flight and easy choice
Just as soon predict failure then close the eyes and leap
To explore my unknown brings each new day
Obstacles that bring disappointment come crumbling down
To persevere for family and friends summons strength through pain
Strength Through Pain
So easy to forget that’s the reason for it all
To Be a Pillar
Dedicated to building a foundation for all
Not exempt from reason
Devour
Lust
Violence
Guilt
Intention

I love the combination of the late 80s deathgrind sound with Incantation style cavernous death metal. These guys have a good understanding of speed dynamics too; when the tempo drops the grooves hit hard. Also the aesthetic is super cool. grahamy

Please, if you love this, go listen to the 2002 December Wolves album "Blasterpiece Theater" - this is less crazy than that, but a spiritual (no pun intended) successor!!! BookendS
