Post humanism gouged out of flesh,
Carrion for the Void.
Above the remains of any identity.
Those programmed have their weakness
Coveted in a viral sanctuary.
Fiery stones fall, leaving behind
A great blackness in the sky;
Blood parasites infect Prometheus on his flight.
The bloodied sky drops its life from its wound.
Falling back to this disaster.
He tears his innards to mangled looseness.
Spreading his hands across his face in his own mess.
Humanity hacked by a poison made from those
Dying with the dead.
Embrace the pull towards disorder.
A throng of slaves fall into a heap of broken bodies.
The book of fiends shows the ignoble ruin.
Unforeseen motives pushes the
Metropolitan into turmoil.
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
