Rat King
from Eunoia by Corrupt Moral Altar
lyrics
Chewed up by smoke and blood
pray for rains embrace the floods.
Caught in a listless sway
Counting vertebrae
moth hits the flame.
How did I get through to you
I guess you always knew
I want a sense of belonging.
Chewed up by smoke and blood
pray for rains
Embrace the floods.
Altering inner structures,
rearranging fractures,
I'm not having this conversation.
I am my father,
Not of his blood,
no belief in ourselves,
only one.
I dreamt of you last night
you had a inner light
it left me sick for days.
I was left disheartened
but I knew my life had just started
and I could push on brand new.
Chewed up by smoke and blood,
pray for rains,
Embrace the floods.
I dreamt of you last night
you had a inner light
it left me sick for days.
I was left disheartened
but I knew my life had just started
and I could push on brand new.
Chewed up by smoke and blood
pray for rains
Embrace the floods.
I'm not handing life very well at the moment
Including the people that are in it
I'm tired of holding things together
I want to step away
Let everything fall apart
Just drift away
Released from where I was tethered.
I'm just not handling life.
I'm just not handling life.
These photographs are my only memories
I see so much of them in me constantly.
I need distance for myself
I can't do this anymore
I need to be certain
I need to be sure.
Need to be sure
This is what it's for
Don't dream anymore.
Constantly chewed up by smoke and blood.
I hear the words
I want to be loved.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

The Molten Larva is one of, if not THE MOST, pissed off track(s) I've ever heard thus far..

A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck.

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONEsupported by 51 fans who also own “Rat King”
This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10
