Rejoice, for the time in which you live is tailor made for thine own pleasure
Synapse split, inelegant myth
Crystalline crutch, social doctrines pave the way to hate us and our sins
You'll soon be our kin...
Don't be us. Deliver us
Find out for yourself
Straight to the vein. Forget the pain
We'll take the night for all she's worth
Help!
As the night reveals her harlot grin, I smile and wince
She laughs and comforts me
It is decided, time to take another risk
Forfeit. Normalcy resumes
Risk it. Disgusting mirror snuffs out the mood
Grim mind contortion
Stagnant, static and weak
Blacked out
Solo [Greenwood]
The snarling sun beats down, reminds me what I am
Braindead and shivering, mere husk of a man
Avoiding contact, mirrors and thought
What's next? Who's there?
Dynamically fraught
What's wrong with you?
Smoke, drink, inject, imbibe, get back on the grid
The clock exhales, relieving my guilt
Let's corrupt what they've built...
Intermission ends, let's get back to the show
Velvet caress through veins, I'll reap not what I sow
Cells expiring. All worth it for her sweet embrace
The mirror whispers, you can't keep up at this pace
Oh great Poseidon, erase the truth for a day. For weeks. For years. Forever
That bastard, snarling sun's no match for thine own trident
Wash over me. Send me to the depths
Teeth. Waves. Sharks
A blissful ending
Pain. Guilt. Fear
Reality's offering
Stings. Sand. Rays
That loving suture
Guilt. Guilt. Guilt
Assess this later

Solo [Willitts]

They Will Repent
03:23

They will repent
Hark! Poseidon's architects
Fatal toxin; weaponised
A fitting ending
Crucify, withdraw and flay
Attack by nightfall, our assassins slay their watchmen
Dispatching their treasonous soldiers
Lives brought to an end with a clinical hand
Silent. Murder. Executed
All cohorts lay there slain
Guess it's time to use a little less tact
This could be fun
The maiming and the mayhem's just begun
Brings a buzz, am I drunk?
Assess this later. Make them pay
Forget the pain
Let's make them watch as their kin pray to Poseidon
Endless. Futile
Seething. Pain, let's start again
Back to the first rendition
Joyous. Fervent
Bloodlust
I've changed
Atrocities a matter of perspective
Unearthing their gore, we vore
It's everything you'd ever want
Consciously they bleed, blessed with our seed
They're stitched together
How can they cry? They know we're just here to survive
Their leader's watching
Graciously granted best seat in the house
Emitting mere whimpers as we stitch up his mouth
We're nearing the end we fear
Our passions made abundantly clear
For all we needed was a ritual sacrifice
They cry. We sigh
Grown tired of emotion, I am here for the blood
Our leader signals, it's come to an end
And through us they cease to offend
Blood-starved fiends (a pleasure awoken in me)
Crystalline (solution; unnecessary)
Pain; supreme (uncovered a truth in myself)
Serpentine (their torment a delicacy)
Solo [Willitts]
Our eyes are open
Drug; once revered
Mission accomplished
Trajectory; clear

Riches To The Conjurer
04:01
|
|||

Blaspheme! Ye heathen, wastrel non-believers
For her blessings bestow riches unimaginable
Blaspheme! You desecrate her mana you've labelled poison
No pleasure in your dismissal
No guilt as your dim script begins to fade
Judge not for our knowledge outweighs thine feeble sobriety
Your virgin veins
Forgotten all shall we be
Form a line, accept her blood
Take her hand, come with me
Preach not
You miss the point. A conversation between me and my own veins
I could not give a flying fuck if you agree
ìThat should be me!î negating empathy
Preach to thee, I shall not
This sermon ends with our own organs bearing rot
Reticent; I take my shot
Though in me, one searing thought
Curiously, this recitation
We all burn in the end
Your friends
You're friends
Nothing decided in our sentience
A decision swift. An opportunity could be missed
Die with, or die
Hate. Fear. Love
Growth (they're smiling at me)
Pain. Blood. Hope
Signature of a guardian angel
Hate. Fear. Love
Time (to assess this now)
Pain. Blood. Hope
Truth
Hate. Fear. Love
Growth (they're smiling at me)
Pain. Blood. Hope
Signature of a guardian angel
Hate. Fear. Love
Time (to assess this now)
Pain. Blood. Hope
Truths. Truth

Riches unto him
Once could call this magick
It will consume him
Is it a blessing or a sentence?
Riches unto the conjurer and his cohorts
A contradiction I refute
Riches

Valkyrie

Hold!
Land upon their shores
Cells misaligned
Break through their ranks
Each side, unbridled pride
Dichotomised though same perspective
Breaching the walls
Immune, sanguine rites
Fortresses stormed
Cut down. It's time to pillage, rape, enjoy their virtues
A microscopic treaty is signed as cells align
I, for one, welcome our pagan aggressors
A violent introduction to their ways
They speak of cultivation
Not abandonment of our former selves
Unholy initially
A mutually beneficial pact begins
Our veins come alive
Synapses blunt, we thrive
A damning of the blindly loyal
Cathedrals razed to the ground
Their chemical rages unbound
I've found their gods erase my conscience
Truth
Deserted
Deserved
A clandestine and ancient want within
Fly
Solo [Baillie]
A feast prepared
Though I'm aware
Decisions made
I've chosen comfort over triumph
Forgive yourself
Forget yourself
Find solace in this mantra: assess this later
No
No
No

Tie me down
Break me on the wheel
Submissive, I grant thee ownership
A lashing most precious
The crack of whips, a gnash of teeth
Exalted in pure agony
Part my flesh. Exsanguinated
Reanimate
Repeat
Recalibrate
Defeat
Reanimate
Repeat
Recalibrate
Defeat
Scared stiff
It's come to this, the only way to get me off
Mute scream
I am engorged, spread eagle, leather crucifix
Blood drained
Come join the fun, disgrace has only just begun
Fuck me
Fuck me, free me, gain some clarity
Face down
Right where I want you
Time to reenact this script again
Degrade and shame, your begging rhymes with mine
Safe words; not muttered
Forbidden languages
Don't be us
Deliver us
We're flayed and proudly displayed
Straight to the vein
Forget the pain
Have I been here before?
Have I died?
Am I inside?
Another binge. The phantom scenes begin to rearrange
Just lie down on the couch
Solo [Greenwood]
Tie me down

Static
I bow my head and plug in
Once in a while, electric risk, a static lick or a kiss
Chrome
Nerve endings rejuvenated
Lack of control
No soul. Let's get to work
Heathen
Poseidon's grasp gives me reason
Coral injections, genuflect, now we're blind
His trident spines pierce
Solo [Greenwood]
Waves crush cells
Turns bone to sand
Lobes smoothed out
Deleted gland
Life on my knees, I'll gladly endure
For his influence grants distraction
Minimal action, fuck the cure
Whispers from the gods of Triton's blessed prophecy
You're us!î I'll drink to that
There's signs that it's surely me
Seconds echo lifetimes, drowned by time, I serve it willingly
For sons and daughters of gods made not by idleness
Look at yourself
Putrid mess. Caked in filth
Age; embalmed
Solo [Greenwood]
Poseidon's betrayal; their organs fail
Poseidon's mischief; family's grief
Poseidon's misgivings; we're witnesses
Limited time. Assess this now

The Trials
04:36
|
|||
|
Balancing
Complicit experiment; cauterise
Population
Mere fractions of what we once held
Scripture
A draft prescription, hollow description
A labyrinth weíre dealt
Scapegoats
I'd trade her for nothing
Defending the cause
We are the lab rats most proud of our fate
Disintegrated
Beleaguered armour, no match for our weight
Protecting the realm
With us at the helm
Poseidon will reign
Speak not of thine sobriety so eloquently
A product of man
Though not of the gods
Consume their loving words
I'm here on my own
Difficult; I've come to terms
And die on this hill made of knives
Question the cause
What was?
When was I alone?
A blinding portrayal
The guardian revealed
Her face a distraction
Carved from a memory that I bitterly caged
When?
Why now?
Hate. Comes back to lash at me
Why?
What's this?
Will she take me with her?
Is this a most elegant fate?
And this begins the turmoil of a selfish debate
Solo [Greenwood]
Solo [Willitts]
Freedom
A candid whisper breaks my chains
I think I'll give this a try and quit rolling the dice
When all have witnessed the change
I'll gladly smile, though all the while
Tis but a fragile thread
Liar
A nonsense vocation
I tell myself a swift end is my calling
Once revered Poseidon
I know not if we've seen the last of you
The trials you send, they are annulled
Save me not from grief, guilt and pain
I'll learn to face trials but alone
I'd trade not one sip from a glass
For this new enlightened prospect
Yet...

supported by 45 fans who also own “Tempest”
Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10

You know when a song's chorus or hook just really hits the spot, right in the pocket? This album is 45 minutes of that. 🤘

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis.
