lyrics
Dark tides
borne on formless waves
as stowaway ballast
cast to these strange lands are we
stripped of bonds, of visage
clawing with hands til worne to bone and tendon
the rocky dirt, yet unmarred by these feet.
No thought, but to further live.
Wounding our host, this earth
scraping from soil, meager vitality
a strange likeness is disinterred from the clay...
Fleshless entombments of unseen being
yet forms familiar
as if lost kinfellows
alike, though flawed in their design
A moulder's abandoned endeavors?
Their hands, in stasis yet scribe
mouths motionless, yet speak
frostcold miasma emanates from every eye cavity
circling the burial chamber
Now, in frigid ratheness, a thousand lifetimes' knowing
pierces through the pall of past worlds.
No longer am I slave to death, now having farseen the beyond.
From the stone is born hammer,
from hammer born blade,
with blade, we carve new bilth of life upon this rock.

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. alienasu

Otherworldly psychedelic guitar tone of wah-wah melo-riffing shines here. Unique sound. Unique avant-blackened-death band. Must have... Along with Veilburner - the best bands in genre Dmitry Nevozhay

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
Suffocating black metal in the Swedish style that mercifully throws in a bit of melody to save the listener from total darkness. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 29, 2017
Tempering death metal riffs with goth rock melodies, the Finnish outfit deliver a commendable, unsuspectingly catchy slab of fury. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023

This is my favorite album by Mexican death metal stalwarts The Chasm, by a wide margin. All the meandering, proggy excursions of previous releases have been brutally curtailed in favor of mountains on mountains of riffs, and the result is a release that is tighter and more focused than any of their output in the last decade+.
Consider my interest renewed. Patiently awaiting the next one. Ghuughra
