lyrics

He who builds it prides himself.
He who builds it loses sight.

Don’t you know that it only carries as much as you give? Realizations fleeting like loose sand spilling through clasped hands. You lifted it high only to shake the solid ground.

Ascension is weak when we give rise to the shrine of God(s). It only reflects ourselves.

He who builds it prides himself.
He who builds it loses sight.
He is staggered as is crumbles, as it washes away.

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme. brineryte

J'adore ces albums bourrés de mélancolie, de douleurs, qui dérivent progressivement ou radicalement vers l'exutoire. Des émotions abyssales ! Ekot
