Solace.
The essence of fear present in these creatures
On unhallowed grounds they stand, the faceless
Abnormalities devoid of life
Slaves to a turbulent master
Buried under new forced existence
Venturing on terror’s wings
Faceless abnormalities devoid of life
The truly fortunate ones know not of their existence
Those who are fortunate are pleasantly unaware
The fortunate ones know not of my remains
An altar of clay, and my cross to bear
Disgusted by their movements
Shadows dance along cracked skin
Clinging to a malevolent flame
Clay creatures scream sounds of torment
Lives lost engorged, by inanimate material
This endless expanse shadows upon an ever-present barrier
Unrecognizable isolation lies beyond his horrid domain
Another one has been chosen
Another subservient sacrifice to satisfy the sculptor
Unable to retreat, unwilling to surrender
Scattered minions know my fate
In his design, to be molded by the maker
I am losing myself and my individuality
Becoming one in this world, sown with hate
Baptism of clay
Buried under new existence
This world’s twisted master has chosen a sacrifice of subservience

Like the previous album, the music's atmosphere is thick, hanging in the air like oppressive humidity, electric guitars busily buzzing away, led by tasteful yet pounding drumwork.
And, just like the last album, despite having music that could easily be droning nonsense, the band decided to be a cut above almost every other band by actually having beautiful, captivating melodies from end to end.
Almost every song is a winner. If you like Air, you'll like this one. Highly recommended. Selrisitai

... about the most technical "progressive music" can get without sacrificing harmony, melody, and soul / feel. Favorite tracks : All of them. tooljirashugg

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.
