These days run away
like wild horses over the hills.
I’ve been circling the drain
while standing still.
Sharpen your steel
we have a lifetime to kill.
Assemble your armies
there’s always time to kill.
You never cease to amaze me
with the ways you change shape.
Effortlessly twisting
shamelessly contorting
triumphantly courting tragedy.
Redefining futility.
Too busy breaking down
to be bothered with creation.
Too busy searching for signs
you missed every indication.
Too tired to sleep
so we trace patient constellations.
From our backs
in a field of tall grass.
Forget familiar trails
cut down a new path.
No vision no mission.
Complacent in black.
These days run away
like wild horses over the hills.
Trembling fingers pull at the petals
of what if and if only.
Holding hands with the abyss
to catch a glimpse of what she could show me.
You know that point where you have consumed perhaps just a little too much of your chosen intoxicate. That's this album.
Fucking heavy!!! Obstacle of Affliction

What a BEAST of an album. When it comes to blending black metal and mathcore, these guys and Hoplites are the clear leaders of the pack. This album is sheer annihilation of everything in it's path. Pure chaos and destruction. And it is beautiful. Ryan
