"Mourn your dead self.
Mutilate the fruits of your trepidation.
Suicide by foreign vices (choices.)
Written. Gone. Turned. Scorched.
Exhume the past, lay in its corpse (wallow in misery.)
Bathe in its blood, its lifeless touch (wallow in misery.)
Longing for release. Drowning in false peace.
Wandering through ashes. Guided to the grave.
Invert being. Absent purpose.
Scalded soul. Degenerate.
Deprived. Denied. Wretch.
Mourn what you could have been.
Scorn what you would have been.
Scorn what you should have been.
Reduced to tears (fears.)
Dragged down, submerged in malice (revoked forever.)
Disfigured by self-deceit (revoked forever.)
Reproach, beseech liftoach (revoked forever.)
Brought to your knees.
No more fleeting pleasures; grieving.
Failure. Traitor. Servant of weakness.
Cascade (cascading surrender) forever.
Innocence erodes."
Now this is a *statement*, fully formed and intentional. Simon Sludge has been pushing this punishing and dissonant sound so well with his Total Dissonance Worship label, with his own band leading the charge. For once, metal feels futuristic without needing reams of notes; these here are careful calculations for summoning the apocalypse. fyeahmetal
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
