lyrics

Holy blood, a gift of overwhelming grace, only for those who abase themselves and kneel at your command. One nation under fools who've forgotten how to stand. You're crawling in a circle, chained inside since birth. Fall inwards from this point? You'll never reach the earth. There's nothing at the center: no god, no soul. A blind, voiceless mouth, opening to the sky at random. Suck down the shit nourishment you sought from above. Your father's house has many rooms, but no room there for me. When I stand outside the walls, your iron gates seem weak. Give me bread and coin, and lock the door behind, focused inward on the divine. Stay in that circle till you rot. Standing at this height, no miracle of mind, but a circle made of lies, where the deaf entrap the blind. There's nothing at the center.

Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius
by Abyssal

Fractured songwriting under layers of dense, suffocating atmosphere, and some amazing riffs that combine dissonance with a great sense of melody. Black Harvest

Vast Chains
by Jute Gyte

Twisted, insistent guitar work that drags you into a forest with very few clearings. Unsettling and unresolved, yet it's a wholly worthwhile journey if you listen with your full attention. Black Harvest

Rape Crisis Actor
by Crisis Actor

A dissonant death-grind project from Kishor and vocalist Nick Cacioppo of LI grindcore band The Communion. Black Harvest

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
