The All Consuming Self
from Eunoia by Corrupt Moral Altar
lyrics
Your public image is no after thought
Social media is the mirror you have bought.
Carefully construct the rig
from which you are hung,
drink from the poisoned chalice
and be forever young.
Such an illogical fear
that you'll be left on the shelf
your leaving yourself with this narcissism
and the consuming self.
Let the insecurities be your throne
all you will know is loneliness
if you don't know how to be alone.
I think we truly can't see ourselves
as we constantly push in front of everyone else.
You seem to think if you're the quickest from the start
you must be real
you exist
you have a heart.
I think we truly can't see ourselves
as we constantly push in front of everyone else.
I think we truly can't see ourselves
when everything is based on appearance
and the consuming self.
Let's the insecurities be your throne
all you will know is loneliness
if you don't know how to be alone.
Social media is the mirror you have bought.
Carefully construct the rig
from which you are hung,
drink from the poisoned chalice
and be forever young.
Such an illogical fear
that you'll be left on the shelf
your leaving yourself with this narcissism
and the consuming self.
Let the insecurities be your throne
all you will know is loneliness
if you don't know how to be alone.
I think we truly can't see ourselves
as we constantly push in front of everyone else.
You seem to think if you're the quickest from the start
you must be real
you exist
you have a heart.
I think we truly can't see ourselves
as we constantly push in front of everyone else.
I think we truly can't see ourselves
when everything is based on appearance
and the consuming self.
Let's the insecurities be your throne
all you will know is loneliness
if you don't know how to be alone.

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

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
