I Am the Void

Sorrow and regret
Tormented mind swells
One with the darkness,
Pain like second skin.
Forged by the calling
Of a parallel life
Where every being is not born to die.
The voices in the distance,
They call out for me
Yes, they call me by name.
As the light drains from my eyes
And my memory dims
Following down the spiral
Still walking the earth
The ghost of every memory
That I have left behind
Like sand, it runs through my fingers
Colder than time
With death’s still gaze cast toward me
I am alive.
Now I am pulling myself back out of the grave
In the days I am living, this is not a life.
We weren’t meant to be saved
I will be the one you see when you die
Burning in your mind
Just like the flame
I may have been breathing
I was never alive
So, remember these words
I will be the one you see when you die.
Daylight returns slowly.
I’m losing sight of who I am
In this madness
The candle’s been burnt out
For what seems like forever
If there’s no end to life or death
In this nightmare
Do we live forever?
And with every last breath in my lungs -
There is still hope for us here
In the mouth of madness.
As the light drains from my eyes
And as my memory dims
Now I am alive.
In dreams of the ocean
Where space and time won’t matter.
In dreams of the daylight
I am alive.
In death’s gaze I am alive.
Watch every nightmare turn into a new reality.
Mother, will I breathe again?
Mother, is this life all I have?
And in the end, the end is this life.
Just a vision I will forget, Mother?

I have seen the end
I am just beginning.
This fear that has been growing
Will not become the void in me.
Days, like death
Become stagnant
And I begin questioning the very
Things I have come to be.
Years wasted on clocks
Chasing the high of the time
Don’t you remember
What it had meant to me?
I hear a voice within that whispers
‘time is wasting’
It’s the same voice within that drags me even further down
I lie awake on ash
Sorrow to remind me of what I had cherished
And, in this moment
I realize what I have lost
Everything falls to blackness
The air is thick with smoke
My lungs fill
In desperation I plead
All that I have given
All that I have bled
Is it not enough to live in the end?
Let light in
The darkness calling my name
Will I wake?
Or will this silence become my grave?
I feel the morning light on my face, is it over?
The old days that I had forgotten
Now rush to my head like a pattern
And here I can feel it all
Both end and beginning
Where colors intertwine
And makeshift memories
Pull my spirit home.
Life is just a distant dream here
The days I’d waited to pass by
I wish I could relive them all
This time with awareness
That this life is to be taken
Not for granted,
But in stride.
And the patience that I’ve lacked
Is only given to us all on borrowed time.
If you take it all away
Flesh and bone and blood
What is it that you will have to give?
Life, it seems
Is a momentary gift
We are but a brief light
Flesh and bone and blood
What is it you’ll have to give?
And now my thoughts break
And they bend
This is not the end.
And now my conscience begins to speak to me
Alone with my regrets
Sinking further in hell.

I am the void.
A spell on my skin
But I couldn’t help it
It lives in my dreams
Grind my teeth at night
Fears, they take flight
Right in front of me
The words I speak
Are giving them life
A universe inside of me
Still, I can’t see
My way into the light
In my head like a void
Lost in the lapse of time
You are the calm
I am the world on fire
I can feel the sunlight
Draining us all.
Every day is nothing
But a death to me.
Close your eyes
And clear your head
Wake the earth from below
With the blood from your knife and if you move slowly
One inch at a time
Then you will always
Remember to begin
With the end in mind
In my head like a void
Lost in the lapse of time
You are the calm
I am the world on fire
I can feel the sunlight draining us all every day is nothing
But a death to me
What would I give?
To feel whole
As all of my fears
Begin to eat away at me.

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.

Tbh I typically stay away from "tech death" bands. Seems like majority of bands now lack the melody and groove that used to be present when this shit was really gaining light. These guys are tight and technical but very groovy. It's like if Decapitated, Faceless and Soreption had a baby. Great work guys!!!

From the Other Side of the Mirror

On this pummeling new LP, the Austin group blend up screamo, black metal, and noise rock into heady, urgent music.

Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.

Coup De Gráce
by SeeYouSpaceCowboy...
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries.

I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on. 10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come.
