This life provides no sympathy for me
I need to make peace with my mortality
Dethroned, cast out on the songs our fathers raised
In beds with thieves, rejoice no heroes praised
Ink, heart, blood, pen
Honesty made a martyr of me
For what is at stake, watch it burn
Tear arms sycophants, pouring down every plague
Tyrants and spores in rapture salvation is made
The ghost of truth held in clandestine labs
Strike one, strike two, this misery is all I have
What I am, is falling away, my sanity is a nightshade
Say it once, say it again, like the ink in my heart, like the blood in this pen

Awesome psychedelic sludgy metal with some post-metal influences that build and morph often enough to stay fresh throughout each of the lengthy runtimes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for some psych-tinged sludgy goodness! Colin M.
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2022
One of the most beloved post-hardcore albums of the ’10s gets a long-overdue remix and remaster just in time for its tenth anniversary. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2024
Massive soundscapes and all around awesome album! A long time coming but worth the wait!
Thanks for staying HEAVY. So many bands now mellow out over time! Matt Peterson
