	1.	The Skies Do Give Succor 08:40	lyrics
	The dark engorged On mordant white blood Fulminous heart in the breach Who among us Would not weep? Etched upon the sable hearth And shadowless light Empty of essence My mind flees from my hand The lewd shapes skirl Through sight and nonsight When my wounds sing I am silent as the night's hold The manifold agonies Of history's beasts rise In feverish, pitiful chorus The dead suddenly thronged The dead suddenly flesh Tear out the dragon's throat Interloper Treader of edges That are not edges Limits in dreaded rasps Interloper Treader of edges That are not edges Limits in dreaded rasps Those spurious gods Lost in the ecstasy of blood rites Their brows scorched and worn thin When my wounds sing I am silent as the night's hold

about

"An aura of gloom and doom shrouds 'The Skies [Do Give Succor]', its grim, dissonant guitar melody writhing around the somersaulting bass notes and the potent drum beats, which move from tribal pounding to bursts of machine-gun blasting. Kenneth Parker’s scathing shrieks tear like claws against skin, relenting long enough for the song to slow and drift into a bass-led interlude whose somber tones are accented with the clash of a cymbal and Stephen Parker’s delicate guitar work."
- Islander, No Clean Singing

There's something charming about bands that don't give a shit what you like and just do their own thing. Is it death metal? Grind? Tech hardcore? Who the fuck knows? It's fun though. Ghuughra

A record of wave-like production and washing, encompassing guitar riffs. It's criminal this hasn't gotten further reach, but it's well worth the purchase. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)

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. Matten
