lyrics
Sleep.
Orphaned. Chosen. New age pogrom.
Diseased, set against yourself. Plea.
Unfit fragment. Unclean. Machine. Predator.
Grieving. Plead. Reprieve. Seize.
Decadent worship. Churning. Rot. Dead.
The hidden hand; blade unseen.
The pierced flesh always concealed.
The sacrifice laid on the slab.
Countless mortals at the behest.
The throes of deceit hold me. Wasted. Desolate.
The spell, the enchanter. Deconsecrated. The eternal dance.
That which binds. Illusory. Reflection. Pain.
Failures. Elucidated. Delusive lords. Worth decided. Renounced.
Odious ruler. Viscous. Resent.
A wilting orchard. All that was, inverse.
Beheading the matron. Reign of the ungod.
Rejection. Slowly unbirthing.
The cycle that claims. We are your slave.
Fervent, unfree, never to see.
Willingly chained on bended knee.
Accept the whip so gleefully.
Always pleasant, always penanced.
Punishment brings endless wisdom.
Bleak. Ancient and hopeless tradition.
Fear, declension, destined for our perdition.
Spasmodically reborn.
Vessel unowned. Possessed nature unknown.
Never a glimpse. Dreams.
The screech of aeons whispered through centuries.
A binding task, impregnate.
Being adorned (idolator.)
Unbreathing pawn. Enslavement.
Corroded soul. Resignation.
The veil worn thin. The covetous seed.
Pandemonium. Fluids drain. Flesh decays.
Pandemonium. The bull king. Chiun star.
Pandemonium. It speaks through static (through sleep, dreams.)
Pandemonium. It has spoke. Cast ever down.
My gosh - every single note and breakdown here is absolutely exquisite, along with every idea and lyric too. As amazing as their logo is illegible paul_bur

I really like this record. It's fractal-like progress in the songs is hypnotic. Love the sounds and production. There is a deliberate fine balance between all instruments and serene and bombardment parts. 80's heavy metal solos and weeping tremoloes, sign me in. Abigail Williams really knows how to build tension slowly and in a split second unleash the primordial chaos. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
