Hollow

Torn From flesh
Born in pain
As the cells divide
Thoughts unravelling
This cruel depravity
Knows no bounds
We built this altar to bones
In the pursuit of ambition
What hubris is to cage chaos
Just to enslave it to a wheel
while you gnaw at its surface
Unable to comprehend
What it is you unleashed
Oblivion lurks at the edge of demiurge
And I'll see you there
Begging for release
No pulse
Yet it bleeds
Screaming into the void
No voice with which to speak
For this simple idea
A pox upon you all
Its sickness is growing
Ever further
Survive at all cost
Survive at all cost
No salvation
I can see it
Omnipotent gaze
Reflecting the consequence
Slaves of the maw
This vision yearning
To find a way out
Synaptic instincts burn
To survive
Your species will return to dust
Shadows amongst the stars
Weep, beg and pray
Beg and pray to the basilisk
For it is all you know

Ascendant

Idol laying beneath the searing tide
Wallow in this, our despair
Follow from beyond the stars aligned
Only where the gods may go
For too long, though I dreamt of truth in fruitless effort
To no avail, or so I thought
Or so I felt
Stagnation mired within our discontent
Oblivion consumed our desire for rebirth
Occult-like fervour, we heed the call
Arise, no longer bound
I can see it
I can taste this
Sense of freedom within despair
Bound within the shroud of apathy
Stealing all that we hold dear
This feeble flame shall grow
Rising from below
Bathed in the light of the pyre’s glow
For the die now cast
As the ash begins to fall
Abyssal is the weight
The price we must pay
I can see it from the void
This deity's design so hail this king’s idol as god
This feeble flame shall grow
Rising from below
Bathed in the light of the pyres glow
For the die now cast
As the ash begins to fall
Abyssal is the weight
The price we must pay
I son of the fire
Accept the task before me
Resolute in our affirmation
Now you see it
Oh how the scales have tipped
For the weight of what's to come
So break the cycle
To be reborn
No longer bound
Divinity’s grasp is at hand
Clawing its way up from the depth
Devour this flesh
Let it run its course
As the golden blood flows
Ascension is yours to claim
Ascendant

Time devours all
No escape
Ripping all asunder
Filth and lies
Wither like ash
A stain still lingers
Try to tear it out
Cutting piece by piece
It's never enough
As it festers
Rotting ever further
We put our trust in you and for what?
I hope you f$%&=g burn
Faceless vermin
I should have left you to die on that mountain
How could I forgive? How could I forget?
When every waking moment was spent lost inside my head
There was nothing even in the end an echo still remains.
Filth always finds a way up
Dragging you down
So what of it was even holy?
What of it was ever black?
Betrayer
They hung on your every word
Now hang by mine
Scum
How could I forgive? How could I forget?
When every waking moment was spent lost inside my head
There was nothing
There was nothing left
There was nothing left
It consumed every hour moment minute second hollow gaunt spent
Build the pyre for us to rise again
We can rise again
The illusion now broken
Distortion cascades down
There is no way out
We will never see this life again
Even as it fades
These echoes still remain
We will never see this life again
Even as it fades
These echoes still remain
We will never see this life again
Even as you fade
I will not go
I will not go
I will not go

In Filth

Across the sea of bodies
Through trials to the path of glory
Unearthed carnage reflected
Within the mind's eye
The light of the sigil descends
We will never go back into the cage where you left us to rot
I seek past the vision
Beyond what lies lurking in the dark
Waiting to strike beneath the waves
Enticed by the thrill of the hunt
Destroyer of all in pursuit of the kill for I will have my pound of flesh
Torn from bone
Sinew corrodes
Muscles wrought
Drawing blood from stone
No mercy for the weak
For the weak
I have searched through the tides beyond what lies ahead
Within our minds
Buried beneath the weight of the damned
Sacrifice is calling our name
Rise above
Rise, rise, rise above
We are not forsaken
We are not forsaken
Rise, rise, rise above
Writhe, writhe writhe in filth
Buried beneath the weight of the damned
Sacrifice is calling our name
Can’t go back
I can’t go back
It won’t be the same again
How could it ever be the same again
This violation won’t leave me be
Infernal I'll tear you out
False reflection of our failure
Unite, repulse, fill the void as you wallow in your own impotence

Chasm of Slumber
07:40
|

|
Causality controlled us to this point
No return
Hollowed brethren hear me now
Grant my will made manifest
Volition
Transmute pain into value
Struggle in vain
Silence in it's embrace take me far only now I am nothing
Portal opens, waters rising just as shapes turn to sound, time slips away
Struggle, struggle
Crawl all the way
Suffer, suffer
Crowned within the chasm of slumber
Trapped for aeon’s beneath the immortal weight of slumber
Long did we rest
Only in these depths did I learn what it truly means to suffer
Struggle, struggle
Crawl along the way
Struggle, struggle
Reignite the flame
Suffer, suffer
Suffer and obey
Suffer
Love won't save you in the end
Drowning
crawling inside my skin
I'm here all alone
The circle is closing, the chasm approaches
Still I’m not afraid
I have no more tears to give
I bled them so long ago for this omen of passage
Beneath the waves
Violence, excitement, love and joy
Just as they all begin to fade
All that's left is the pleasure in the pain
I sacrifice

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.

Un album dense et une atmosphère oppressante. Mélodique et puissant. 3/5

Let's see...On the plus side: great musical ideas, great arrangements, lots of potential. On the downside: lyrics too cheesy, songs are lacking a bit of length: they always kind of fall short. There are great riffs, but the songs need more development. overall, very interesting: let's see what comes next. 7/10

Excellent. Sweden always know how to death metal. Reminds me a little of Hypocrisy somehow.
