lyrics
arise exalted, I
closing to the pointed self
central to the mark
repel to the verge
ire I seize – unredeemed
salvaged from that impress
unintentioned
that which forms the crest of shade
set against the wall of glass
perched and growing softer
looking through to surface seen
ire I seize
reflected
ire I seize
but never seen
they look into the glass
with airs that call and draw
a wrath before them
a self unseen
it fades into the light
to show the I, the all
a truth before them
but never seen
for the image is that which is set against the glass
still I seek unseen
still I ache and ire I seize
renounce, yield, and waive
then offered to the light
still I seek
You know that point where you have consumed perhaps just a little too much of your chosen intoxicate. That's this album.
Fucking heavy!!! Obstacle of Affliction
Magnus-Lindberg-mastered post-metal in the vein of The Moth Gatherer and co., but with spacey Ison-ish aesthetics. Has a nice fuzzy chunk in the middle to provide some respite. Not really treading unexplored grounds, but no misstep either. Alice M.
A ferocious display of blackened stoner-doom from Moscow's Moanhand, who offsets moments of bleak ugliness with clean, haunting melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2021
Seattle band Adzes craft sludgy dirges with elements of noise rock, post-metal and shoegaze, united by a staunch moral compass. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2020
A diverse offering with some excellent guest appearances and probably equal in greatness to any metal album released this year.
The Obsolete has an old Gojira vibe and for me that wins 100% of the notes ever played every time.
