lyrics

Blue jeans and a box over your head
Honouring the franchise
Common man, common King, common swine
I’m not fooled by your collar
Beneath your skin is filth, it’s exhaust is your mouth;
Your words are a foul odour dressed in scum
I long to jam them back in

High on your pulpit, the stage for your gaffe
Your insults burn at the back of your throat, ready and waiting to be exhaled
Superior being, shame those who don’t conform

Bent over, taking the hits, bruising deeper with every blow
Trying to forge our way, to please you
You’ve already decided, declared us unworthy,
Typecast us all, citing your fascist doctrine
Unable to peel back the skin, or to see beyond a decorated façade
To you, I am just a malignant vagabond, and “they” don’t belong

I’ll not be reduced to your lame qualities
I’ll not dissolve amongst a docile swarm
If difference is the devil, then here awaits your hell.

Atmospheric Doom / Death Metal from Australia. Proper Doom has the power to bring out your emotions & your sadness and forces you to process it so that you come out the other side feeling temporarily better. This is proper Doom Metal, at least for me, it does all those things... :) Love every song! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3 Horst Feldmann

Well this is officially, by far the most beautiful album I've ever heard in doom metal. The drumming work is so original and innovative, especially in doom metal. The woodwinds and the violins are such a nice touch. The growls are so haunting. I love their transitions to the heavy instrumentation with the growls to the soft, melancholic clean passages. The clean voices are amazing and the melodies chosen in the voices are quite different and added a whole new emotion to the songs Andrew Derksen
