lyrics
Born into ignorance
Raised in delusions of madmen
Sin, fear and eternal damnation kept humanity at bay
Prayer kept reality away
Mental slave, scarred child of god
Skin, flesh and bones are all vain
After-life awaits in all its glory
Humanity denied, mentally deprived
In acid revelations, absolution is mine
High on fairy mushrooms of gods
Flaming visions of the high priest
On my quest for redemption
Humanity is left behind
High priest, high priest
High priest, high priest
Soldier in a godless war
My body is my flaming weapon
My dubious salvation will bring you all down
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
So after spending the better part of the last 2 years going as hard as possible at every extreme metal show I could on the US East Coast, you could say I'm burned out on death metal music lol. I'm sorry, but after seeing hundreds of great bands - shit just seems kind of same-y to me, you know? So it takes something really special to bring me back into the death metal fold. Fossilization are my boys & this is an amazing work of art. I cannot recommend it enough. Now... back to my Coltrane 😂🤣 bcb723
