lyrics

The grim determination of taking pride
In blighted ruin
The polish applied only to those
Sanctified areas where the
White Gleam is blinding

We pull our coats tighter
We hunch into the drops
In a futile denial of the
Expansive revolving void

Empty insignias of mediocrity
Flags to displace the mundane alienation
The 5 stars won’t glow in the deep shadows
Of the moneyed concrete and steel tombstones
Civic pride a ghost story
For frigid stroller pushers
And privileged ghouls

Life-trap
dead end,
The path rendered
null and void
Go back to hell

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-

Absolutely phenomenal. Total control over the music, and it comes out as deranged and psychotic as I imagine the vision for it was. petreemc
