lyrics
Spite - the scar within a scar.
True self betrayal. Uprooting the bindings.
Deracinate that which was made. Imbibe the blood of your past.
The burning scourge. The wound within the scar.
Self-subversion. Love's inversion.
Hate's deliverance, adorned and carnivorous. Consumed by flame.
Writhing, screaming chaos. Clashing forces erupt.
Dissonance leading actions. Gutted and misused.
Thoughtless malevolence. A blade against the arm.
A fist to a lover, now no longer one's own.
Pain.
The meek, ill child forever held inside.
Scarified, stultified, afraid.
Drown with us, savior unborn.
Wisdom forsaken. Denial.
The path untaken - cowardice.
Penance tainted. Flawed projection.
Buried discipline. Disgraced. Displaced. Gone.
Bear the child of your failure - rage.
The endless purge of my agony. Imprisoned by a memory.
Engorged with fucking misery. No relation to purity.
I long for the days when my dreams weren't plagued by the knives.
A blissful field raped and tarnished, our dilapidated home.
Absence of grace. Our burning wastes.
Gone but forever there.
A weeping phantom followed eternally.
A damp chill always holding me.
A crumbling husk of divinity.
Drown with me, for I am nothing. Escape.
Endless mourning (strife.) Aching for venoms.
Endless mourning (strife.) Tonics of death.
Endless mourning (strife.)
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
