Held together with rotting bodies of the dead. He will wait for life to breath again. The lord souls will consume everything. The swords dance under the ground beneath your feet. Picking at you, terrorising. See yourself weep at his feet. The lord souls will consume everything. Your soul will be consumed by mine as I watch you die. Your souls are mine. Your souls are mine. Covenants of gravelord servants invade your world. Beneath the catacombs lies a horror beyond words. Hiding deep beneath the tomb of giants, for the inevitable end. In a world swallowed by darkness, he will eternally reign. The controller of everything, they all know his fucking name. As I slowly turn you hollow, you lose your humanity. Blood shed a thousand times. Losing grip on reality. They speak his name in baited breath. Nito. I am the one who reaps death. The reaper fears his rotting breath. You've picked your time to greet your death, Chosen Undead. You just met your fucking end.
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson
Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here. mourner
