lyrics

From the bridge above the railroad tracks
you watch the patchwork trajectories of the misbegotten.
You share with them an indifferent egregore,
bouncing of plate glass windows;
a consanguinity in their vicarious ambitions.

And through the haze
slithers serpentine suggestion,
that somewhere along the line
we brought this on ourselves.

They hung the moon from a lamppost.
The taxidermied sky; a counterfeit trophy
of their hopeless campaigns against transience.
An edifice to a god about whom we know nothing,
except that it does not resemble man.

The highrise is a Tower of rebirth.
Moulded in glass and wrapped in wire.
Struggling to maintain its human face.

Mirrors
by PUPIL SLICER

supported by 23 fans who also own “The Song of the Rivers”

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan. napalmsatan

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 19 fans who also own “The Song of the Rivers”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
