My Exile
05:03
|
|||
|
Here comes the flood
I'm sinking underneath this
Lost sea of my mind
Under empty suns
I feel desolated
And now, all gods have failed
Annihilate all, what once ever lived must die
My memories are broken
My mind is in ruins
What once I loved is dead
Like an unfulfilled prophecy, I stand
That's my final exile
I feel like I am next, the plague will die with me
I ‘ll suffer the pain I caused to us, to them
What I've become, what have I done
A lie, a conspiracy, the masquerade
And as I pray for a new life
The answer is no
From a voice, a whisper heard
Never before
Behold
Am I the greatest of every creation
Drifting in hallucinations
Am I the chosen one, or just a big mistake
The world we see is the world we believe
Dead, my faith and my dogma
I suffocate my last breath and visit my demise
An instinct keeps me alive
This is my punishment, what I deserve
Behold, oh, thy kingdom come
The world we see is the world we believe
Like an unfulfilled prophecy, I stand
Watching over myself
I reach for the sun
All nightmares undone
I suffered my trial
Now light dies with me
An angel dares to speak
A new apocalypse begins
I see the world crumbling
I hear the bells of the end
And now, all gods have failed
Annihilate all, what once ever lived is dead
Embrace me, forsake me
Am I the messiah?
An isolated dream
An abandoned light of hope
This world, this Hell
That's my final exile
This world, this is my exile

Blackened Requiem
03:52
|
|||
|
Stuck in a state of mind
Where beauty dies
Where eternity rules
I am the observer
The bound witness
Of my own demise
Watching my funeral
Loathing myself
Smell my fresh despair
Hear the steps of doom
Floating in void
Falling in gloom
This blackened requiem
Distorted call from Hell
The pale horse of death, taking my soul
Chains of tar and misery, luring my ordeal
Burn the wings of heaven
and forever mute
The harp of sun
These ruins I see
Dead elements were gathering here
I saw an angel
A madman, a slender god
He blighted everything
Clenched the world in his hands
Purgatory unleashed
Fire
Blessed
These
Wicked symphonies
A river of hopelessness, burning my skin
The grave as my home, death as my guide
It could all end with a light at the end of the tunnel
Warm, Aureate, dim
Or just eternal darkness

The God Who Lied
05:05
|
|||
|
In a circle of fire
I grieve and burn
Flames, wearing the night
In a circle of funeral pyres
My world is gone
In the name of deceit
I praised the false
A colossal lie
What gods deny
In a circle of fire
Cremating bullets
Rain
In a circle of funeral pyres
A declaration of war
It has begun
A sign of prosperity and a promise of fever
The future seemed bright
Words of ease, decorating the greatest lie ever told
We've built a wall
We've built a dream
A wall of failure collapsing in front of us
We had the chance to change everything and lost it all
Because of you (I can't forget)
Because of you (I can't remember)
We could have changed it all (We failed)
We could have changed it all (We lost it all)
A wall of failure collapsing in front of us
I had the change to change everything and lost it all

Your Demise
05:51
|
|||
|
Scorching lands, enslaved empires
Darkened skies, hidden lies
I know the truth, I see it all
Images floating towards my eyes
Hands of a new world
My testament
A sudden call to arms
The blackest crimes
A sea of terror rising
The greatest purge
A thousand times
Your words were haunting
A million souls
An Eden full of grace
A warm and peaceful home
Angels guarding this forged heaven
Covered in blood
Swallowed by swarms of flesh
Gathered around
A celebration of your fall, a slip knot made of woe
See us through bloodshot eyes
Hell blessed this war
Welcome, this is your demise
Your burning skin
Your hopes, visions of the end
Your propaganda
Injected through
Our seething veins
You lord of plagues
We were your audience
This morbid theater ends now
Manipulating an army of pawns
Pleasure for the shepherd
Strain for his sheep
A puppeteer, controlling our lives
His existence of filth
Marks upon ourselves
Indignation
Betrayal and lost control
A nuclear dream feeding sick minds
Let the war begin
See us through shards of glass
Vermilion storms are coming
This is your demise
Now I know

Frontline of Dusk
04:21
|
|||
|
Who am I to shake these grounds
Who am I to bear the instruments of war
“You promised to fear none but yourself
You chose to change the world”
This fight is not mine
Such delirium must stop
Hideous and vile
The echoes of his mad laughter
First light
This dawn will be our last to see
Front line
Dusk fall upon us and clear our lives away
No prosperity resides where vagrancy reigns
Lavished by our fears into a fiend
Still hungry for our ambitions
Who am I to witness such madness
“You're fresh meat on this feast”
“If God exists he will have to beg for my forgiveness”
Charge!
Shivers go down my spine
Ready to assault the eye that never shuts
Ready to kill the god that blocks the way to heaven
What have I done?

Definitely Obsessed
04:56
|
|||
|
Deeper down in my darkness, in my gilded cage
The place I reach for silence and peace
This time my mind is clear
The scent of blood is on my breath
A riddle I suffer, once more
Diamonds and chains, two visions engaged
The meaning of life, my rest is denied
Suspicion turns to hunger
For vengeance and affray
I crave
No doubt, I’m definitely obsessed
Doubts arise
My deity dies
We're the slaves of this earth
A nameless dogma
We followed a ghost
Blindfolded on a tightrope to war
The wounds on your flesh
So seductively fresh
I waited all these years, between my constant fears
I 'll give my life to get you down
This is when time will bleed, psychostasis will feed
Twisted blades in feast
Ι'll watch you kneel
I promise you’ll be fine between those gears
Kneel
Servant of my dreams
I dream of your soul
Desecrated and cold
This is when time will bleed, psychostasis will feed
Twisted blades in feast
Please stop
The smell of your flesh
The temptation to kill, once more
Can't you see? I’m definitely obsessed

The spine melody
03:26
|
|||
|
“Nothing quite encourages as does one's first unpunished crime.
It is only by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.” *
This wretched shade I chased
Keeps calling me insane
A begging soul, a terrified child
No, I’m not insane
Sharp talons, a pair of horns
Devilish aura, a crown of thorns
What am I? What I see?
The torment must begin
In chains, suspended
I can feel nothing but madness driving my mind
The spine of our world is about to forever break
Such sound, such music
Coming out from the cracks of the earth
This spine melody, an intro, announcing the end
...of this world
I'll make an instrument out of yours and play my requiem
The blackest this world has ever heard
Until flames seize the last piece of my broken soul
“You have corrupted my imagination and inflamed my blood
You are cold, while you yourself fan flames.”

Dethrone
03:38
|
|||
|
Hail dismay
Eternal pain
On our way towards crucifixion
Dark days
Eleven nights
On the twelfth we'll build your grave
A new era of freedom will finally begin
Your death will be the cure to the chaos you've built
We bowed like hounds in front of a great illusion
When shadows die we'll build our reign in retribution
The final sacrifice
Dethrone the scythe that harvests our sorrows
Toss it on the well of impending doom
“That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.” **
Rush towards you
Lurking through the void in silence
Crawling behind your shade
Destroy the image of your fake creations
Erasing you forever
Cast out to the lake of fire
It's too late to seek for salvation
But mark our graves with our biggest mistake

March of Silence
08:30
|
|||
|
Suffocating tears, the morning never came
Will I ever belong in my grave
Now who is to blame, I'm turning insane
Is there life in death or the horizon is a hollow mouth
Void seeking sacrifice
“If I am mad it’s mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end!” **
We all crawled – crept naked towards impending doom
We’re born to die
“Remember that everything is forgotten”
“Never Explain Anything” **
The march of silence
March of solitude
The silent fall
Summon the dead parade
“Either kill me or take me as I am,
because I'll be damned if I ever change.” *
We lost everything we left behind
God damn Avel
God damn Cain
For we will never be free
What if these monuments forever bleed
We drown in failure, forever seized
“To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.” *

Short and sweet, this album begins with a Mike Tyson-style jab to the gut and moves down a few inches, ending up with repeated uppercuts to the perineum. Pure fucking shredding genius from soup to nuts. That part at the end of "Thanatos"? Where the guitar is like "wee-wee, widdley widdley wee wee woo weeeeeee"? It makes my weiner hard. Just brutal af. Also, ending the album with Thanatos is just... *Chef's kiss*. Death is the perfect end to a joiner the likes of which this album takes you on

Visions of Infinihility
by Carnosus
supported by 7 fans who also own “Final act: Martyr”
Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!

This is my first Augury album, and it pains me to say that, because I've clearly been sleeping on these tech death magicians for a while. I keep coming back to Illusive Golden Age for the progressive songwriting, sweet bass, and THE BEST brutal death vocals of the year. 11/50 on my 2018 year end list.
