carry the burden of life after death
feel the weight as you fall to your knees
this is the violence, the vile, the filth
an entrusted design of the human disease
slave to no witness
speaking only in tongues
your flock, fed to the fire
the shepherd has already hung
so sift through the ashes for something to hold
beneath all the demons
what truth do you know
what will you remember
what will you deny
sift through the ashes for your final lie
and will the pieces fall into place
or will your constructs be broken by the weight
and will you face it with confidence or shame
in the end when death has learned your name
and as you hear it, the last left to know
do you feel the peace in letting go
now make your bed of serpents, fallacy and soil
reserve your place in nothing and watch it for us all
Crust with strings is a heartfelt and honest pairing. And the opening track Awoken is such a beautiful track, I can't help but listen to it on repeat. Gemma
Blackened hardcore with the sheer heady power of stadium crust and the glacial melodies of second-wave black metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 10, 2023
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
