Taken, I am not
Capitulating before the immensity of the cosmos
Regurgitating crowns and scepters
Dethroned, becoming extinct
Convicted and concerned - wealth devalued
Every crusade comes to an end
“Only maligns shall be fooled”
These words ignored come forth with rancor
Inventing a path asymmetrical
Where walls absorb and transform matter
No laws to infringe
In a lane meant for us
Grin swallowed,
Shrivelling back to pristine idleness
Fables of equals ingurgitated
Their salvation overthrown (overthrown)
Nonbeing (nonbeing)
Nonbeings, dissolve into the antisphere
Nonbeing, remodel as surface
Dissolve into the antisphere
Suffocating
No human life is supreme
Suffocating on excellence
A man aims for the sky
Climbing towers without zenith
At tragic heights
Enchant us with luxurious temples
That never shall be our home
Prophets will reclaim
The kingdoms denied to mortals
Dissolve into the antisphere
Remodel as surface
Immobilise in the mist of oblivion
Not to be
Knowledge is meaningless
What is known evaporates instantly, permeable truths
Eyes made of glass, may you gather ornaments
And enter impermanence
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law”
A selfish fable extinguishing flames
Leaving nothing
But the delight of nonbeing
Adoration for none
Senses shall savor no feast
As matter exhausted
Does not transform
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
My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
