Name: Voices
Duration: P00H03M17S
Description: Musically and lyrically, Voices exhibits some of the darker sides of the album and explores groundbreaking crossovers between different subgenres such as Hardcore Punk and Death Metal. This is in part achieved by combining the famous Raw Punk inspired "D-beat", taken to extreme tempos, with more classically styled Thrash/Death metal drumming.

lyrics

As the dim dirty lights fall over my face
Sunken cheeks and tired eyes stare back
Mirror shows disgust
Dim lights flicker, I see my reflections

The face of gloom
A never-ending state of degeneration
Shadows painted all over the walls
Hallucinations tear me apart

Desperation
Subconsciously driven towards an end

They're pushing me towards an end
Ceaseless demands melting down
In an endless stream of fatigue
The stream won't stop

Damaged reflection develops
As the light reaches a mirror of deceit
The mist keeps thickening to an unseen end
Life is just an obstacle

Voices (in my head)
Terror (melts the brain)
Hatred (strains the soul)
Laughter (make it stop)

Physical and mental pain are the only things left
In my reality
Spiraling into it, out of it
Control can’t grasp for me

Crawling into the dark
As it grows day by day
Hour after hour
No matter what
Everything will turn black

And I'm drifting back
I need to leave this
Leave me, let me, let all become black

Voices (in my head)
Terror (melts the brain)
Laughter (make it stop)
Closure (I kill myself)

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
