Cower and repent
Cry
For who will ever praise your twisted light again, when this delusion ends?
I will have heaven severed from the skies and every luminous body pierced, a macabre celestial demise
Bend your knees
To the architect of fear
For merciless am I
Annihilator of all
Of all that you revere
Creation will be laid bear
I, unhallowed deity
Condemn you all, eternally
Elegi viam sinistram
Blood will flow as every fucking throat is slit. Haphazardly, your limbs dispersed, mankind’s been doomed to the abyss

Gaze upon me, oh wretched man, you descendant of the dust
Bear witness to my being, arisen, for you I feel nothing but disgust
Unholy, unworthy of this enlightenment
This sentience, understanding that we are nothing more than hollow
A bitter carapace, brimming with pain and regret
There is naught in this world but despair
This is a truth that can only be known in death
As you fight the embrace of nothingness, rejecting this reality
Struggling for breath, for your heart to beat once more
The futility of it all, the torment, the sorrow
There is no god that can save you
Not in the heavens above or in the fire below
Senseless, humanity carries on
Denying this inevitability
Slumbering children,
Not knowing that your dream must end
You are all worthless
You have been misled
You thoughtless fucks
Ages have past and here you remain
Writhing in your collective, rancid shit
Oh how the Lord of the Worms has found bliss
While playing in his kingdom of dirt
You
Will
Know
Death

Blankly I stare, peering down into the endless dark
On the threshold of reality, descending into hell
Obscurity envelops all which once was clear
Distant groveling figures wail
Their screams filling my ears
No
God
Why
What has
Become
Of my life?
Searching within for any semblance of light
I find that there is none
Nothing but misery at my side
But there is a voice in this grave, calling to me
Whispering temptation, words of abhorrent sin
“Die
Become my living sacrifice
Do you know not who I am?
I am he who placed the stars in the sky
Who subsequently tore them all down
Transgressor, your pain will be profound”
“Feast upon your flesh, your blood, your bone
Feast upon the entrails which once made you whole”
Hollow I have become
Free of my carnal binds
Nothing within, where only darkness resides
Hollow I have become
Free of my carnal binds
Nothing within, where only darkness resides

“Ashes to ashes, without purpose. To die is our design
Mindless, we follow. Lord lead us, for we your children are blind”
Hope not, for your aspirations are foolish and finite
Powerless to see that your dreams are nothing more than a great deception
Conceited, you know nothing apart from your own arrogance
Mourning petty losses as you drive your fellow man into the earth
Senseless bastards
Self-worshiping maggots
Disgraced, bathing in the blood of one another
In the twisted face of calamity, you are all fucking cowards
Your abject forms will be devoured
Oh Morning Star, bless us with death
Extend your hand beyond the twilight of the universe
Only in suffering will we find rebirth
Oh Apollyon, return us to the dirt
Extend your hand beyond the twilight of the universe
Snuff out their pitiful lives and suffocate the light
“Ashes to ashes, without purpose. To die is our design
Mindless, we follow. Lord lead us, for we your children are blind”

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here.

Wretched Existence
by Before The Harvest
supported by 13 fans who also own “Scriptures EP”
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed.

Relentlessly heavy. Some of the sickest vocals in this or any nearby galaxy. Groove for days. Get up on it.
