From Igneous Veins
from IX by Absinthius
lyrics
Seething;
The violent boil in a river of blood.
Blistered skin, disfigured faces;
Seared flesh
Pulled from bone by the ruby tide.
Hooves on the banks;
Ten thousand beasts.
Bolts rain down
On the flailing wraiths.
Woe for the warlords.
Misery for murderers.
Unforgiving is the Blade of Justice.
The helicoid corridor loops on itself
Southward the current flows
A crimson ring encircling the dismal wood.
Demi-human screams;
Winged banshees swoop and dive
Between the onyx leaves.
Rabid mongrels weave
Through noxious briars
And twisted trees.
Press your ear against the mangled skin
Hear the murmuring within
Suicides shed their bodies for eternity
Rip the bark from the limb
Sanguine resin seeps upon the soil;
Anchoring their serpentine roots.
Bleed
Violence and hate.
The inward facing blade.
Here hang your noose upon the boughs.
Choke
On violence and hate.
The outward shining scorn.
Here hang your shell amongst the thorns.
And then beyond the fringe of the forest.
A chasm in the sky.
A torrent of flames upon the molten earth.
Spit upon the face of God.
"Like the rest, we shall fetch our empty skins
But we will never put them on again
We shall trail our bodies here
To be hung upon the trees of this most dismal wood
Each on the thorns of its tormented shade"
The violent boil in a river of blood.
Blistered skin, disfigured faces;
Seared flesh
Pulled from bone by the ruby tide.
Hooves on the banks;
Ten thousand beasts.
Bolts rain down
On the flailing wraiths.
Woe for the warlords.
Misery for murderers.
Unforgiving is the Blade of Justice.
The helicoid corridor loops on itself
Southward the current flows
A crimson ring encircling the dismal wood.
Demi-human screams;
Winged banshees swoop and dive
Between the onyx leaves.
Rabid mongrels weave
Through noxious briars
And twisted trees.
Press your ear against the mangled skin
Hear the murmuring within
Suicides shed their bodies for eternity
Rip the bark from the limb
Sanguine resin seeps upon the soil;
Anchoring their serpentine roots.
Bleed
Violence and hate.
The inward facing blade.
Here hang your noose upon the boughs.
Choke
On violence and hate.
The outward shining scorn.
Here hang your shell amongst the thorns.
And then beyond the fringe of the forest.
A chasm in the sky.
A torrent of flames upon the molten earth.
Spit upon the face of God.
"Like the rest, we shall fetch our empty skins
But we will never put them on again
We shall trail our bodies here
To be hung upon the trees of this most dismal wood
Each on the thorns of its tormented shade"

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!
