Submerged by blows seemingly infinite
Saturated with offal, muck and odiousness
Awash in the deluge of fury and rage
Condemned forever to this watery grave
Adrift and stranded, seasick and weak
Hearts sink deeper in tears and fatigue
Blank features bleached and eroded by dismay
Pride capitulated before the relentless waves
Cerulean chasm, mangle and scold
Destroy all vitality, will and resolve
Drown them deep within leviathans abode
Powerless against loathing’s undertow
To the frigid depths of silt and suffering
In Poseidon’s realm, cobalt and cold
Smite then oh swells, drag and descend
Ebullient seas that make mince of men
Rinsed hollow and vacant in this acrid hole
Fire extinguished in the brine and the foam
Stand staunch and static amidst it’s ebb and flow
Defy the currents that would strangle below
Endure the torrents of hatred and strife
Obstinate and stubborn, unflinching and defiant
Wade into the waters of disdain
Anchored in the oceans of violence
Anoint me oh tides of odium
I embrace the coming storm

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

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
