1.) The Embittered Living "Sour skies, do not excuse this! Weep upon us and wound us! We have gathered up our sadness, Cut into it with knives! We whittle away at weapons Willing our own end What has led us here is consent, Bloody stumps where once were heads Scolding sage! Absolve us of our defiance We thought ourselves resolute In our hunt for dominion Providence! We gained a taste for your blood We wept when we had none And craved of your embrace So sick of our incompetence Rank and file we have ebbed Battered by our; Inherent rot The blackest damp It rises up With appetite"
This is a masterpiece of emotional doom crust. Something I've dreamed of hearing since first hearing that searing octave blast from bands like One Eyed God Prophecy and Union of Uranus. This puts the e.p. in epic.
2.) Incompetent Sires "A quandary of broken shadows Play out upon the face of our dismay The halters fastened tight Chomping at the bit that chokes Steeds hammer their furore! Frantic pandemonium A thousand hooves to pummel Out the tempo of our gall Every obstruction redundant Smashed to smithereens The vehicles of our vehemence Fueled with wanton exasperation! Spittle blinding sight The waves of exhaustion Only abated by the wrenching Of this unceasing plight What have we earned? Nothing good came from arrogance Trodden our restraint Into the sodden ground We've drawn out all the blood Our wounds house broken catheters The septic lesions spew With beleaguered hindsight We turn our heads around Drink in the wretched Sights so staggering The wastes our presence brings Antagonist of everything Regard is obsolete As we swarm bacterial We grasp with feeble hands At reins that lash and scourge We've truly lost all sense All attachment to the earth We've drawn out all the blood Our wounds house broken catheters The septic lesions spew Our torrential gore"
Thank you, Walter. Thank you very much. Very much, very deeply, very sincerely. I am truly astonished by the lyrics of these compositions: Astonished by their empathic cognition, comprehension, anguish, and by their very rare poetic genius. I am not aware of anyone else on earth who is seeing, feeling and musically-expressing the global pain articulated in this one man's poetry, and in its vocal presentation. His poetic compositions, in their words, imageries, arrangements, insights, verities and voicings are truly magnificent, truly astonishing, truly FAR above and FAR beyond ANY OTHER poetic account of "Man's" inherent cruelty, corruption and criminality that I've ever seen... ...ever seen, during my 64 years of surviving the incurably-immoral, incurably-barbaric, incurably-genocidal, incurably-ecocidal, incurably-self-destructive species called Homo sapiens. Sadly, of one thing we can be sure: Humanity is a disease, and there is no cure.
3.) Forest Of The Genocides "Weeping knots form crude eyes Boughs buckle with such torment Lithe and black from flames cruel lash Of fates much worse than ending lives Reams of fated days Written in the rings Centuries engrave Their delighted vanquish of The lust within us all So lost in our forlorn Draconian blight Of our avarice Still and unyielding Cascara glower The countless eyes Within static skulls Tissue seeks entropy To dwell within this stance Forever contorted in This agonising dance Immovable roots longing to flee Coveting that which can never be Beset with spores insidious Choking out all necessity Acres of looming limbs Aching splintered trist The prospect of respite? Why must we be the ones who care? Every moment the thorns endured"
5.) Rime "Convulse serpentine Veracious sea divides Exposing sediments Once encumbered by Oceanic tome Anatomies intone Scars the edifice With echoes of life Leviathan speak your sacrament The surface heaves with fathom breath Gravest deep, abyssal sink Pour liquids down to quench your wrath Gullet sounds tease lithic notes Drag discarded dreams from atrophy We smile with vague recollections Then once again we discard Listen! The shrill gull extols From eroded bow we are deafened Litanies of kelp and salt Lost on senses permanently dulled The instruments have lost their song Without the words we mouth along Shanty notes in dissonance The ragged verse of incontinence The water resonates with ire And bile to drench the funeral pyre The land is scab upon new wounds We pick away to exhume The blood is life! We hollow out! Liquor taste of bitterness! Acid broils within our bowels! Last utterance of gut instinct! Our woe is us!"
This is different an awesome. Not a huge fan of crust punk or doom but mixed together is amazing. Love the strings, such an emotional and atmospheric band. I would love to see them live.
Ouch, haven't listened it about 5 years. Awesome to hear it again.
1.) The Embittered Living
"Sour skies, do not excuse this!
Weep upon us and wound us!
We have gathered up our sadness,
Cut into it with knives!
We whittle away at weapons
Willing our own end
What has led us here is consent,
Bloody stumps where once were heads
Scolding sage!
Absolve us of our defiance
We thought ourselves resolute
In our hunt for dominion
Providence!
We gained a taste for your blood
We wept when we had none
And craved of your embrace
So sick of our incompetence
Rank and file we have ebbed
Battered by our;
Inherent rot
The blackest damp
It rises up
With appetite"
@Reginald Adonis Yea, I've been watching on kaldroStream for months myself =)
@Reginald Adonis yea, have been watching on kaldroStream for since november myself :D
Excellent Music...Thanks Alex for you Voice & Art!!!

absolutely astonishing, mesmerizing and beautiful!!!
2.) Incompetent Sires
"A quandary of broken shadows
Play out upon the face of our dismay
The halters fastened tight
Chomping at the bit that chokes
Steeds hammer their furore!
Frantic pandemonium
A thousand hooves to pummel
Out the tempo of our gall
Every obstruction redundant
Smashed to smithereens
The vehicles of our vehemence
Fueled with wanton exasperation!
Spittle blinding sight
The waves of exhaustion
Only abated by the wrenching
Of this unceasing plight
What have we earned?
Nothing good came from arrogance
Trodden our restraint
Into the sodden ground
We've drawn out all the blood
Our wounds house broken catheters
The septic lesions spew
With beleaguered hindsight
We turn our heads around
Drink in the wretched
Sights so staggering
The wastes our presence brings
Antagonist of everything
Regard is obsolete
As we swarm bacterial
We grasp with feeble hands
At reins that lash and scourge
We've truly lost all sense
All attachment to the earth
We've drawn out all the blood
Our wounds house broken catheters
The septic lesions spew
Our torrential gore"

3.) Forest Of The Genocides
"Weeping knots form crude eyes
Boughs buckle with such torment
Lithe and black from flames cruel lash
Of fates much worse than ending lives
Reams of fated days
Written in the rings
Centuries engrave
Their delighted vanquish of
The lust within us all
So lost in our forlorn
Draconian blight
Of our avarice
Still and unyielding
Cascara glower
The countless eyes
Within static skulls
Tissue seeks entropy
To dwell within this stance
Forever contorted in
This agonising dance
Immovable roots longing to flee
Coveting that which can never be
Beset with spores insidious
Choking out all necessity
Acres of looming limbs
Aching splintered trist
The prospect of respite?
Why must we be the ones who care?
Every moment the thorns endured"
Thanks for posting this, loving it!
Nice music
5.) Rime
"Convulse serpentine
Veracious sea divides
Exposing sediments
Once encumbered by
Oceanic tome
Anatomies intone
Scars the edifice
With echoes of life
Leviathan speak your sacrament
The surface heaves with fathom breath
Gravest deep, abyssal sink
Pour liquids down to quench your wrath
Gullet sounds tease lithic notes
Drag discarded dreams from atrophy
We smile with vague recollections
Then once again we discard
Listen! The shrill gull extols
From eroded bow we are deafened
Litanies of kelp and salt
Lost on senses permanently dulled
The instruments have lost their song
Without the words we mouth along
Shanty notes in dissonance
The ragged verse of incontinence
The water resonates with ire
And bile to drench the funeral pyre
The land is scab upon new wounds
We pick away to exhume
The blood is life! We hollow out!
Liquor taste of bitterness!
Acid broils within our bowels!
Last utterance of gut instinct!
Our woe is us!"
