Goddamn
You left my head to break
Rotting
Inside your dismal world
Hatred
Is what I feel for you
Hurting
Inside you fucking lies
Disappointment
Rears its ugly head
Everything I want you to think of me as
Is nothing you will ever be
The disappointment in your eyes is deafening

Burden

To feel my skin
Underneath my fingernails is
Beautifully raw
One AM
Alone again
The pain is gone
But it never ends
It never ends
Burden
Fake relief is the only thing that I have
Until it starts again

For the Empty

Not many sounds echo off the bark that forms your tree
Your branches hold the rope that chokes the life from my breathing
Each gnarled strand cuts deeper into what was human flesh
But this shell doesn’t feel, this shell is broken, numb unrest
My tomb
When I’m gone lay me in the home I never made
Scatter my ashes on your heart, where they’re sure to blow away
Leave the stone blank to reflect the emptiness in my neglect
Eventually I’ll be as empty to you as the emptiness in my respect
Oh, how your limbs can hold so much weight I’ll never know
The cracks on my trunk were deeper than the roots from yours could grow
I’ll soon learn the heavier burden, the shell or the soul
Whereas you will only know my torment as long as this rope holds
My tomb
You can’t make me stay
You can’t hold my weight
You can’t make me stay
You can’t fix my hate

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore

Orange Mathematics
by Frontierer

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.

Swim With The Leviathan
by URSINNE
Two death metal legends unite for a once-in-a-lifetime LP; rife with classic appeal and flavor, it's a manifesto that works in any era.

One of my new favorite groups. /Hope and its lyrics (particularly near the end) made me misty eyed.
