Buried deep and hidden inside, we feel the truth but hear the lie
The self deceit, our thoughts clouded by fear and doubt
Lost in a world of confusion, disillusioned
Deluded into disbelief of our own nature
The voice inside is speaking but we’re deaf to it
Lying to ourselves, lie to each other
Hiding from ourselves
Hiding from the other, empathy is smothered
Distrust one another
War in our minds, wars in the world
In this flesh prison
drive to supersede
in endless ego
As if every synapse struck out to rule,
to be king.
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
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
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
