Precise aggression and controlled chaos
King of all kings, brightest czar
Words of command and a form of authority
Beyond barked orders or the crack of the whip
Vassals sailing upon stagnant seas of frivolity and woe
Elect submission, await permission, castrated, defanged and bereft of spine
I cannot abide those who blindly follow like vertebrae
I was created from fire not molded from clay
I am a wolf amongst sheep, a carnivore, a predator
Salivating at the thought of danger, perennially chomping at the bit
Lips greasy with the crimson acrylic that has forever colored my perception
Its bitter taste only the intrepid shall acquire, a feast only the ruthless can stomach
Standing proudly erect, poised to attack, grandiose rachis intact
Ambition, discipline and acumen, clout to mold the vice of our age
Corral the pliant, exalt the tyrant, from their ruthless matter are monarchs made
I am a fox amongst the foul, a carnivore a predator
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
