FANGS, BITING SO COLD - DEATHLY TRUEST, MEASURE OLD
CALLS, DESPERATE WANT - GHOST IS COMING NOW TO HAUNT
CALLS, RELENTLESS HUNGER - EVIL DRIVING ALL GOOD UNDER
ICE, WASTE GLASS IS SHOWN - PENETRATING, SHOWING BONES
HOWLING HORRID ENDLESS SCREAMS IN BLUE,
ALL LIFE RUNS AWAY FROM YOU
FEEDING BODY MONOTONOUS CHORE,
SKELETAL BODY OBSCENE LORE
SUNLIGHT LOATHSOME UPON SKIN,
SIGHT OF FUTURE SHORT AND DIM
IRON EARTH CUTS FLEEING PAWS,
CORNERED ANIMAL WINTER JAWS
FROZEN ATMA TIMBER FREEZING BREATH,
AIR COATS BEASTS IN CRYSTAL DRESS
WORTHLESS RICHES LIVING ARE ENTOMBED,
STARVING NOBLE BLOOD HIDE THEIR WOUNDS
BURNING FROST TURNING HANDS TO GLASS,
MUST COMPLETE THE SPELL BEFORE THEY PASS
SISTER CREATURES JOIN A BLOODY PATH,
BINDING MADNESS SPEECHLESS TO THE PAST
AIR LIGHT AND WIND
DEATH CROOKED SPIN
SPIRIT BLEEDS AWAY
COLOR LEECHED TO GREY
LIFE HEAT NUMBING DROWNING FREEZING RAIN
SCRAPE UP SCENT OF LIFE MUD EARTH IN PAIN
SPIRAL PATHWAY PALE WITCH DOORWAY KEEPS
GREY CLOAK CHARIOT FLIES WHITE SILENCE SLEEPS
DEATH JOY BRINGS
SHADOW RINGS
HACK THROUGH THE BODY CONTROLLED BY SICK MIND
CONQUER BY VIOLENCE OR STAY HERE AND DIE
A SPIRIT SO BESTIAL IT CANNOT KNOW SIN
ONLY THROUGH BATTLE CAN WE HOPE TO WIN
SNEAKING OUT NAKED AND PERISHING THIN
EYES GLOWING SKIN SHOWING RIBS GHOULISH GRIN
TOGETHER WE'RE RUNNING IN THE ICE AND COLD
FEAR AND SHAME FALLEN BEHIND IN THE SNOW
RAIN SILENCING
GRAVE MERCIFUL
RAIN BLACK RAVENS
GRAVE SIREN SONG
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
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
"This record is in honor of the northern lights, which very few things in the world are more beautiful and awe inspiring than" and we can say the same of Panopticon's work. Even a EP with "leftover" songs carries so much beauty. Thetruebia
Not a duff track on it, for some reason some of it reminds me of FOTN! It must be the dusty western influences? I'm looking forward to catching them live later this month dainton
