RJ These guys get stronger with each release. A great blend of melo-death with some core influences. Easily recommended. Favorite track: Lamentations Of The Kings.

feythorshearth Powerful & Melodic
Such a unique blend of melo-death and some progressive elements. Heavy moving but thoughtful songs. Each piece invokes its own emotion while keeping tied to the other. This will remain on repeat for the long future.

8/10 Favorite track: The Worlds We Once Knew....

1.
Drown the Earth in sorrow Fill the Earth with negative Drench it, watch the world choke Saturate, as if a plant diluted Withering, from a torrent of grief Drown the Earth in sorrow Break the dam obstructing all your pain Let it overflow, and consume all as a great flood Purify, the world’s last cleanse These tears fall from the sky swelling Quenching the thirst of pain’s deep misery The storms of grief cascade, and overflow the seas of dismay We choke on what’s within
2.
Wandering through deserts built from dust of kings Nothing could save them in the end A solemn journey to understand the failure The once powerful fell so low In pursuit of treasures out of fiction Oblivious to the soul’s dereliction Forsaken by treasures out of fiction Revelation at the soul’s dereliction Blinded by the desire for more Unwilling to leave walls ornate Realizing far too late Annihilation was their fate The eyes of kings, they could not foresee The self-indulgent subjugation Empires crushed from within Left with nothing, in lamentation Lamentations for the kings Those once mighty now weep For all conquest, and riches stolen The kings had already died within In pursuit of treasures out of fiction Oblivious to the soul’s dereliction Forsaken by treasures out of fiction Revelation at the soul’s dereliction Stubborn indulgence, rejecting importance, destroying their kingdoms, obsessing for objects resulting in death Deceived by desire, embracing hell-fire, lamenting the kings of old, forsaken by cursed gold Blinded by the desire for more Unwilling to leave walls ornate Realizing far too late Annihilation was their fate The eyes of kings, they could not foresee The self-indulgent subjugation Empires crushed from within Left with nothing, in lamentation
3.
In youth, there’s creation, discovery anew In dreams, a fantasy in all that we do Worlds developed with future ahead No concern, toward that future we fled But with age, the dreams no longer remembered Lost, plagued, hope quickly dismembered The wonder now lost to reality No time for the past’s simplicity The worlds we once knew all fade away The memories that we hold fade all the same The dreams of our youth, we leave behind The visions of the past are all lost to time Awakening from a dream of tomorrow Reality reveals there’s no path to follow With no truth in sight, we’ve ruined creation Emptiness has left a senseless sensation Losing ourselves to despondency A void consuming all that we need Vacuous, eternal, crushing all that we do The worlds we once knew dwindle from view The worlds we once knew all fade away The memories that we hold fade all the same The dreams of our youth, we leave behind The visions of the past are all lost to time As life takes, as life breaks down around us We stand firm in our past, in our truth, in the worlds we once knew
4.
As I stand, approaching completion Reflecting on all I once held dear With passing in sight, I’m filled with insight A realization that I must not fear When the end is upon me, the worlds I created will come to an end With silence, a passing is marked All creation returns The fading of all recollection Exist anew, as dust All the wonders I’ve pursued The words I’ve poured from my soul No one to hear, lost to the wind What will I leave when I die? All I valued will leave with me What held meaning in life has no need to live on With silence, a passing is marked All creation returns The fading of all recollection Exist anew, as dust The worlds we once knew will fade away, as we all return to dust
