Shapeshifting The spoken word intruds/outros fit so well in their take on atmospheric post-black. Though i'm not an expert on that combo, but for me it works damn well for these guys. Favorite track: Apathy's Maze.

the distant rumbling dictates something deep inside some unnatural culling, some undisciplined calling some indistinct nature buried within and although i've imprisoned these desires with each thundering roar, it rattles these cages ever so slightly more it haunts my cerebral core, an impartial detour the atmosphere screams in archaic atrocities ancient tongues wailing in a discordance of obscenities a primordial pulsing resonates in deliberate timing unearthing nature's wroth in the intricacies of lightning this electricity embodies me, in constant mockery each new flash of light, another harrowing slight another welcome contrast to the pervasive night and as the rain echoes against the pavement in solemn refrain i begin to recognize the irony in my surname an inner context as chaotic as the atmosphere a carnal connection with nature's aggression an archetype of unbridled passion a paradigm, an ideal a boy lost in the adverse winds of his own zeal as an aberration of oblivion consorts with a callous charm oblivious to the wake of his own harm intrepid indecision improvised to impress the populace enough of this desperately defying the draw of seclusion to break the constitution of our own delusion tirelessly the hands grasp for genuine praise as we journey through this fog-ridden haze venturing deeper into Apathy's maze in the most enigmatic of ways as an aberration of oblivion consorts with a callous charm oblivious to the wake of his own harm intrepid indecision improvised to impress the populace enough of this desperately defying the draw of seclusion to break the constitution of our own delusion tirelessly the hands grasp for genuine praise as we journey through this fog-ridden haze venturing deeper into Apathy's maze in the most enigmatic of ways

never have we been graced with the foresight of a seer nor the foreign faith of a devout believer never have we been shown love from our brother’s keeper only hypocrisy spewed from his omniscient deceiver never have we been the men people have adored our only real gift has been intangible lore never have we been souls that were left admired placed on this exposed rock to rot and expire never have we been gifted a chance to evolve words turn to waste, lost, never to resolve never have we been more than poltergeists of philosophy acolytes of delinquency, in which they take no heed never have we been bound to the path of providence never have we been reincarnations of circumstance never have we been corrupted beyond abandonment never have we been the constructs of your collusion never have we been graced with the foresight of a seer never have we been the men people have adored never have we been gifted a chance to evolve never have we been more than poltergeists of philosophy

a grotesque portrait captioned the sacred art of ambivalence the carrions of a hook-up culture caw with the conduct of venereal vultures projecting reckless lies for social exposure another byproduct of a generation of adulterers how have we been reduced to something so vulgar gracelessly induced by the intent to manifest left lost and confused by an incessant disinterest is there any way for us to redeem for this the toxicology of your lost integrity tendencies to steadily disregard fidelity coincidentally succumb to corroded heredity as we battle against the trials of chemical dependency can this masquerade of disdain withhold the context of what was ingrained intrinsically contained by feverish domain a persona which would so vividly explain the fervor that feeds this defeated idealism through the gilded archways heralding us to hedonism dancing upon the lush carpets of cynicism to fabricate our inherent whims as altruism but i’ve seen the secrets hidden behind sequined lace foolish deceptions to revitalize your grace the vacant grimace on the pontiff's face a frolic laced with the inebriate's illicit embrace sedation brought on by the sway of her sacred waist so full of grace even the clergy lines up for a taste they beg her to surrender the splendor of her every mystic gesture to censor her reckless endeavors to oppress her internal architecture for fear of it becoming too off-kilter they'll use any counter-measure to cut short her adventure to lure and ensnare her entropy into their bed's tethers the endangerment ever-present in her enchantment an entrapment permeated in attachment the appraisal of mind-numbing aesthetics a totemic representation of reoccurring epidemic the great immaculate deception triggered by a constrained dementia pathologically induced verses worn as valiant insignia her iridescent complexion compels obscure synesthesia the thralls reluctantly relinquish their fare to the mythic discordia as she feasts on the fruits of life's aether devotees of delirium driven by an affinity to her prismatic divinity chanting her chorus as if it were some infallible remedy syncing with life's sway of her abhorrent apostles a pilgrimage in pursuit of some intrinsic bond to reach the reliquary is to forfeit and belong to a demi-god this affliction is glorified in the wake of our despondent song can you feel the trembling quake in my response colloquial connection hastened by habitual rituals rescues me from the all-too-familiar planes of the abysmal another eidetic representation of wasted potential a refuge from the corrupt consorts deep-seeded in my rationale the contorted constructs born from the hysterical hymns i bellow, begging for an all-too-necessary essence revival
