The Negative Effects of Materialism Upon The Human Psyche

The Citadel 06:32
Effluvial stench wafting from the rift Compulsive taxonomy of stone Pressure has yielded density Beyond the reach of quantity Smugly snicker from your trenches And the comfort of your privilege Plastering the universe with the fleeting labels of ego Arrogance swift upon the heels of ignorance Counting the atoms within the machine Paragons shining with flawless perception Gripping the brand of a new inquisition

Reassuring smile Subtly gloat As you turn away You draw your thumb Across your throat No depth Inexhaustible breadth The oppressed becomes the oppressor The depressed becomes the stressor
3.
Another night to wander These wastes of ceaseless doubt Another night of cold sweat On the outskirts of the abyss Voices underground Straining for the words On the verge of speech Forgotten what to say Flesh Bone Blood Stone You're nothing You're nothing You're nothing Fuck Eat Hollow Meat You're nothing You're nothing You're nothing Nothing I woke up on a roadside Face streaked with mud and filth They found me catatonic Disciple of the earth Voices underground Straining for the words Figures in the dusk Moving out of sight Flesh Bone Blood Stone You're nothing You're nothing You're nothing Fuck Eat Hollow Meat You're nothing You're nothing You're nothing

Exhibit 04:28
Hands and knees Groping for the light Filters through the dust Thick as years Naked and raw On display For all Corroded and gnawed Distortion Let fall In the dusky haze I can make out shapes Remembering the ghosts That refuse to die Naked and raw On display For all Corroded and gnawed Distortion Let fall

about

I suppose the genre on this album/demo could be described as predominantly "blackened doom" or "black doom." The theme of this record is one that is vehemently opposed to reductive physicalism.
