Hunter of the shade, beast of other-world
The force of meeting rips the bones
Daemon in the shell, a form beyond control
The waking burns my tortured soul
The weight of my crimes
I awake
Flee towards the only way; solitude
Cry no suffering
Walk the path with no return
Fight the racking urge
A battle rages within
Save moments from my fear
My hands are slick with mortal gore
Foredoomed
The time of absolution falls
Foredoomed to murder
Presence in the gloom, lurking out on the edge
Every hour comes bearing dread
The turning starts to take a hold
Cry my suffering
Embrace the darkness and expel the veneer
Our time has come
Prepare our weapons for the glory ahead
Righteous carnage, blood does call
Exalt in slaughter, the meaning of all
With a strike I take a mortal life to satisfy my thirst
My longing not abating surround myself in death
Feel the screaming urge
The battle is all but lost
Mere moments from inflicting death

Driven By The Dark
06:00

Into the dark, hunted by fear
of visions plaguing the mind
Your thoughts reel, perceptions blur, but sleep is something that you left far behind
Face from a nightmare
Running in vain, a ceaseless escape
Sanity losing its hold
A hundred eyes stare unblinking boring away into your very soul
A life laid bare for the fallen ones
The blackened scar remains
Bear your pain, restrain your demise
Draw final breath to my will
And take the path you find
Darkness Gathering
Stumble ahead, the way forth demands
Walls of blackness confine
The horror that grips your reason, power beyond that which you could abide
Black scar remains

Casting The Shroud Aside
04:37
|
|

All unseen, edge of insight blunted and dull
Powers play, surround a furious hidden storm
Groping for the way
Seeking the find
A feeling without a source in this world
End my incapacity, reveal from darkness
Come away god-fearing weak aspirant
Stay this night and feel the streams, cold hidden well
Raise the veils and grasp the unreal
Casting the shroud aside
And I witness madness
Sample reasons fall
My eyes are staring at the sun
Cast the vastness on
Wander lost worlds away
With the shroud gone
The fury, the fury

Under Ancient Stone
05:32

Buried with the ancient masters, lost underfoot to marches of time
Keys to power-untapped, hidden beneath dirt, held under stone
In seeking pass the weight of ages
In knowing bear it
Into dark, descending stone
Thrall to forbidden questions
Unbroken will to sate a lust, a lust for power
Into dark, the wound was born
Cold fount of ancient horror
A deadly turn to sate a lust, a lust for power
Raid forgotten vaults of time
The force that drives me will never be denied
Laid bare by any means
The core brought forth before my eyes
To see, and knowing be born
Raid once sacred halls
My wretched thirst will not be denied
Conquer by all means
The knowledge, knowledge to arm my mind
Hidden path
Unknowable
Buried works of ancient lore
Entombed within the dying world’s flesh
Figure in a fallen world, stretching his will with reckless abandon

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
