Hersh Thakur Reminded me of Meshuggah, but somehow it is even heavier Favorite track: Tongues.

Josh Crowe This album wastes no time in swinging for the fences. There's an absolute neck breaker within the first minute of the album, and I love it. It's a tiny bit different from Mark of Rot overall, but I like the direction they're going in and if they keep this up, they can go places. Excellent work, y'all should be proud! Favorite track: Gift Givers.

Gift Givers 03:25
The sins of the fathers have condemned the children We inherit what you leave behind, we inherit the end Relief is found in nothing, there is only decay You left us with no choice, you left us with no say There is no way out, there's no escaping this place You've already hammered the nails How dare you reject the blame How dare you try to wash your hands, when you're the ones who lit the flame We're doomed to live a life we never wanted to live A curse disguised, disguised as a gift On the edge of the highest cliff, raised to stare straight into the abyss A curse disguised, disguised as a gift Your mistakes are hidden in plain sight, guilt masked by blinding light You don't fool the eyes that hides in the night, can't force-feed us your lies You dug a hole and you called it our home You dug a grave, convinced us there was something to save Convinced us all that we shared your blame We see through it all, we will never be the same We inherit the end The sins of the fathers have condemned the children We inherit what you leave behind, we inherit the end We're doomed to live a life we never wanted to live A curse disguised, disguised as a gift On the edge of the highest cliff, raised to stare straight into the abyss A curse disguised, disguised as a gift And yet you wonder why we despise you and your kind
 You spilled innocent blood and marked all of us
 You marked all of us

Drag me down, bring me to my knees Pull me through the filth and shower me in misery I know the choices that I've made has left me marked eternally Drag me down and bring me to my knees I was born in blood and blessed with bad luck Cursed to consume, I will never get enough It never ends, my hunger never stops It never ends, I am the bringer of nothing I wear a crown of rot I'm destined for damnation, but never letting up Let it wash all over me, immerse me fully in suffering I know the void awaits I know the void awaits, my every deed is blessed by its grace I know the void awaits, there's only one way out of this place So just drag me down, bring me to my knees Pull me through the filth and shower me in misery I know the choices that I've made has left me marked eternally Drag me down and bring me to my knees Restless fiend Enough was never enough, restraint was never taught Soulless wretch forever marked by rot. I know the void awaits I know the void awaits, my every deed is blessed by its grace I know the void awaits, there's only one way out this place Drag me down, bring me to my knees Pull me through the filth and shower me in misery Drag me down, bring me to my knees My choices made has left me marked eternally The void awaits My every deed is blessed by its grace I know the void awaits Only one way out of this place

It haunts me, it haunts me, the silence, it haunts me All the noises they all haunt me, let it consume me All this pressure can't be measured I leave my soul in the hands of a flesh-god Anger and tension, mortal prisons It stands tall and I cower, I'm weak in its presence My ears burn from the message, it's so reckless Demands a breath when I'm breathless This feeling of damnation, a train of thought I'd never dare to mention I'm going blind from searching for salvation, it only lives for my eradication Misery, As it moves in silence Treachery, You can run, you can try, you're a target It haunts me, it haunts me, the silence, it haunts me All the noises they all haunt me, let it consume me All this pressure can't be measured I leave my soul in the hands of a flesh-god Anger and tension, mortal prisons So devout of light, swept in darkness Such horrendous sights unfold before me It joins me at night, it robs me of life Those dreadful eyes are leering at my soul I can feel it coming, I feel them coming closer
 They call out and I'm tempted to let go I can feel it coming, I feel them coming closer How I weep, come bask in my suffering This feeling of damnation, a train of thought I'd never dare to mention I'm going blind from searching for salvation, it only lives for my eradication It haunts me, it haunts me, the silence, it haunts me All the noises they all haunt me, let it consume me All this pressure can't be measured I leave my soul in the hands of a flesh-god Anger and tension, mortal prisons So devout of light, swept in darkness Such horrendous sights unfold before me It joins me at night, it robs me of life Those dreadful eyes are leering at my soul Misery, as it moves in silence Treachery, you can run, you can try, you're a target

Tongues 03:06
Tongues twisting truth will be torn from their throats The warmth in their veins will run cold A liar's crown will be carved from their bones For their deceit they must atone Three words like sharpened blades They tried to take a life but left a crimson trace Straight back to the hole they call their home There's no way out, can't hide their scent, rotten souls Silence the voice who spreads untruths, strip the deceivers of their youth Pale skin will be peeled from their bones, the decay beneath exposed Decay, decay Pale skin will be peeled from their bones Tongues twisting truth will be torn from their throats The warmth in their veins will run cold A liar's crown will be carved from their bones For their deceit they must atone Detached tongues drip poison no more Untruths from filthy mouths no longer soar Serrated steel will erase the lies that they spread In a flash of the blade, blackened soil runs red Their misdeeds will be paid back tenfold, and they will know A rope and a blade for every throat Their misdeeds will be paid back tenfold, and they will know an end of every rope Their misdeeds will be paid back tenfold, and they will know a blade for every throat The tongues twisting truth will be torn from their throats The warmth in their veins will run cold A liar's crown will be carved from their bones For their deceit they must atone For their deceit they must atone

Sjælebrand 03:53
Trætte øjne åbner Gennem sprækker, lyset flyder Holdt ude så længe Et usselt sind forsøger at fortrænge et forbandet genskær Holdt ude så længe We will sleep, we will sleep forever Till the light burns out, till the light burns out We will sleep, we will sleep forever Till there's nothing left, till there's nothing left Mørket kaster ingen skygger Men i lyset de kryber omkring mig Jeg er fanget og forblændet Jeg er fanget og forblændet. Skarpt skær afskærer mørkets favntag Nat bliver til dag, der er ingenting tilbage Forladt, forkullet og forbrændt, alt omkring os er fortæret Aske af vinden bæres Åh mørke, hør jeg ber dig Lad ikke lyset tag mig Min sjæl den brænder, lyset rammer Et liv i flammer We will sleep, we will sleep forever Till the light burns out, till the light burns out We will sleep, we will sleep forever Till there's nothing left, till there's nothing left

I see your eyes, I see the despise They radiate when they look into mine, So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones It won't make a difference, cause I know the nothingness will carry me home Heavy is the head that bears the crown But you've cut me ear to ear, so I only wear a frown I'll carry on while everything you own drags you down I would rather live empty handed, than drown in a sea of what I own I see your eyes, I see the despise They radiate when they look into mine, So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones, cause I know the nothingness will carry me home I'm never alone as I wander on the wrong side of the tracks, cause misery loves company. No way back I belong to her and she belongs to me, so together forever we will be. I'll keep digging my grave, so you can bury me beneath my mistakes I'll keep tying this noose from all the loose ends life has left me with I won't stop till it's the perfect fit So when you've said your prayers and you kick the chair I'll be singing along to the hangman's song. When you've said your prayers and you kick the chair I'll be singing along to the hangman's song. I see your eyes, I see the despise They radiate when they look into mine, So you can throw your stones and you can shatter my bones, cause I know the nothingness will carry me home

Death March 03:11
Death march, death march Your every thought is forever enslaved Death march, death march Empty existence from cradle to grave You're trapped but you don't see the bars around you, not like I do All the lines so blindingly defined, entranced by its shine A parade of condemnation, mistaken for salvation False light brings no redemption, only damnation Death march, death march Your every thought is forever enslaved Death march, death march Empty existence from cradle to grave Forever falling, falling in line 
Cursed by every breath Every single step you take is one closer to death Death march You walk around with your head held high and your neck in the noose 
Not knowing you were born to lose Condemned, by the choices that you've made You've given up control, you've marked your soul
 Condemned, you are led by ignorance Condemned, you never stood a chance Condemned, you drag your coffins along Condemned, while the crows sing your song 
 All your actions are committed in vain

 False light brings no redemption, only damnation
 Forever falling, falling in line 
Cursed by every breath Every single step you take is one closer to death Death march You walk around with your head held high and your neck in the noose
 Not knowing you were born to lose Death march, death march Your every thought is forever enslaved Death march, death march Empty existence from cradle to grave

I won't let you in Don't let it drag out, just let it end now Pull your nails from my flesh, expose the open wound Just let me feel it all, just let me suffer now Remove the numbing shroud of smoke that you have swept me in There is no rest, there's no relief Can't close my eyes cause I see you in my sleep Turned my heart into a hole A restless fiend with a mark on my soul A restless fiend with a mark on my soul Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in Yet I feel you creeping under my skin Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in Still you're creeping under my skin I toss and turn at night, I'm losing grip on life I can't keep going on, I'm giving up the fight I feel you twist and turn around my neck Like a snake, poison fangs sedate, frozen in place My hands constrained And as the pendulum swings, my time slips away I know I made my bed, please just let me rot in it. Rather the reaper behind my back than this devil on my shoulder I know I made my bed, just let me rot in it. Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in Yet I feel you creeping under my skin Oh, bitter friend, I won't let you in Still you're creeping under my skin I toss and turn at night, I'm losing grip on life I can't keep going on, I'm giving up the fight

Unbound 03:20
It takes more than blood to bind me, 
and I would rather be bled dry than hear of you, and I I would rather go blind than try to see eye to eye,
with the embodiment of everything I despise The bond we shared was not of love or of trust 
It was forced upon me, and you could never see,
how your poison seeped into everything
 Your blinded eyes never saw anything Don't speak my name again 
 We are not and will never be the same I refuse to share your blame We are not and will never be the same Don't speak my name again They're not, not like us, 
they are not worthy of our help or trust
They're not, not like us is what you said to me and instantly I could see 
A rotten apple doesn't fall far from a decaying tree A life of ignorance and misery 
 You are not like us 
Only the void will set you free So I'll sever the ties that used to blindly bind 
With no regard for wrong or for right I would rather disappear into the night, than fight your cowardly fight They're not, not like us, 
they are not worthy of our help or trust
They're not, not like us is what you said to me and instantly I could see 
A rotten apple doesn't fall far from a decaying tree A life of ignorance and misery 
 You are not like us
 Only the void will set you free I would rather dig your grave, 
than try to save something so lost, someone so corrupt
 There might be blood but there is no love lost between us

Demagogue 04:13
You shine false light and you willingly blind, the weak and hungry and they fall in line Their demise is of your design You place your self above all, but you ignore the signs On the backs of the downtrodden, you've built a fortress of lies and sin Mark my words, the walls will cave in Blackened soil awaits below, you know you'll will reap what you sow Betrayer of trust, soaked in disgust Innocence lost, I hope you rot I hope it haunts you for the rest of your days I hope you eat, but you never taste I hope you sleep, but you never rest Just a hollow shell haunted by regret Warbringer, coffin-filler Your actions have their price, still you hide behind the lies Wallbuilder, blood-spiller Nothing but a cog in the great machine that's bound to rust Warbringer, coffin-filler Wallbuilder, blood-spiller So long have you brought unknowing lambs to the slaughter on your altar of filth, to spread your falsities and fear. The end is near Mark my words, the end is near Mark my words, you're the one who brought it here On the backs of the downtrodden, you've built a fortress of lies and sin Mark my words, the walls will cave in Blackened soil awaits below, you know you'll will reap what you sow Betrayer of trust, soaked in disgust Innocence lost, I hope you rot I hope it haunts you for the rest of your days I hope you eat, but you never taste I hope you sleep, but you never rest Just a hollow shell haunted by regret Demagogue, the worst of us Demagogue, I know you'll rot
