lyrics

Dancing chained together on the spine of this cursed Earth
(No step to keep in time)

Set as silhouettes against the Sun burning out of the horizon and into oblivion

Shambling, slowly, in grim procession, driven by the primal urge
(No meaning to be discerned)

Gaining past the failing light, into dark of night, into the void from which we all sprang forth

Pushing back against the black stagnant outside
This substance slipping through our fingers
Bodies trapped in the interstices
Glories drown in its rot

All your memories that deceive
And the stories you believe
Conquerors and their slaves
They all dig the same graves
Felled by life itself
Extinguished cells

The dread of a godless night
The pain of singular existence
The demon of silence and the fear that it brings
The threat of decomposition

Like siblings bound together
As tinder to the fire
Devoured by the wrathful mouth
As the Grave Emperor pushes down

Grave Emperor - Victorious
Grave Emperor - We submit, we submit
Grave Emperor - It is decreed
Grave Emperor - On our knees, on our knees

Like siblings bound together
As tinder to the fire
Devoured by the wrathful mouth
As the Grave Emperor pushes down,
Pushes down

It bows us down
It bows us down
It bows us down

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito

Decent debut from a promising band. For the most part a gnarly hybrid of Autopsy and Entombed, with a lot of good ideas and some fun atmospheric ambient sections. The last track sticks around far too long, but that's the only downer really. Well worth checking out for a good blast of new-old-school. Looking forward to the next release for sure! poisonremedy
