Beneath our feet
Beneath our everything
Molten death readies to blow
Erupting, merciless
Empties onto the surface
The end of all we know
Inside out is sweet release
From endless futility
Inside out is sweet release
From senseless hostility
Once blue, instead
An ember, glowing red
Like nothing ever was
Uninhabitable
Like any other planet
Slung around the sun
Inside out is sweet release
From endless futility
Inside out is sweet release
From senseless hostility
Emptied of its molten core
The hollow planet dies
Crushed by force of gravity
Burned, then pulverized

Paralyzing Impermanence

Posture and primp
All the way to the grave
To delusions of relevance
We are enslaved
Golden apparitions
Beguile and disguise
The terrible absurdity
Of being alive
Paralyzing impermanence
Paralyzing impermanence
Not so much “here”
As molecular happenstance
We cry and we cheer,
A mimetic, performative dance
Soured by the awareness,
No matter how slight,
Of the terrible absurdity
Of being alive
Paralyzing impermanence
Paralyzing impermanence
To live, in spite of death
To live, in spite of dying
To live at all

Holes

To crawl out, then crawl inside
The master directive
Taking his first gasp of air
He climbed up from the womb
Exiting her fleshy folds
Glistening, like a miracle
Shaking off the excrement
He soared into the sky
In awe of all he saw
Bewildered by the miracle
To crawl out, then crawl inside
The master directive
Then came the spears
Piercing flesh and spirit
Shaking his faith
In the miracle
Hope turned to rage
Rage to defeat
And the soaring slowed
And on his way down
He was swarmed and pecked
By all manner of scavenger
Taking, taking, taking
And finally, his body limp,
He plummeted toward a hole
Just beside the one that gave him birth,
But this one with a tombstone
and dug into the earth
To crawl out, then crawl inside
The master

EKSTASIS
Frenzied, vile and scathing, EKSTASIS forgoes the cavernous production and guttural brutality of their contemporaries, instead favoring an execution that is decidedly sharp and maniacal. Melding early-90s Swedish death metal and Teutonic thrash, the band serves up a sound that is rooted in the familiar but delivered as a fresh, and wholly unnerving, package. May cause lockjaw and stank face. ... more

This monstrous masterpiece was sleeping far too long in my wishlist. Simply great sophisticated dissonant, edgy and evil BM with class!

Come Ethereal Somberness
by TAPHOS
supported by 4 fans who also own “Paralyzing Impermanence”
Yet ANOTHER outstanding band from the Danish death metal scene. Taphos flirt with blackened elements to create a truly suffocating atmosphere. You’d be a fool to sleep on this!

Punishing death metal from Pakistan, the new LP from Azaab is a scorcher with lyrics that tackle the oncoming apocalypse.
