about

“His voice echoed with a flame that refused to die out. The elders were unable to contain the crowd that kept flowing to the chambers, desperate to hear the words of the pariah. Something had awakened and there would be no way back.”

lyrics

To you aspire to break the contortionist
You must bide your time
too late to go
Where I’ve been in my dreams
Lost in the meadows

Through your weary eyes, you saw the violence
Have you forgot, how it ended, how we descended down
Take your seats and let the tribunal begin
Under the red striped banners, the broken oaths resolve
painted ceilings lit with a sea of blinking lights
Unease in the crowd of the council folk
Waiting for the judge to appear

A stone gavel in a feathered hand
Demanding order in the hollow halls
We’re facing a disaster of an inhuman scale
Theres no steam rising to keep us afloat
We’re slowly falling, descending into the grey
The law of the lowlanders is malleable
I doubt no one will even notice
If we strike a spear into the heart
of the city that shines no more
If we’re to renew our days of wisdom
We must touch the darkness ourselves

There isn’t a text under the sky
That’s written for curfew
Flawless path on rose medallions
There’s beauty in darkness
But only if you look close enough
Can you see the silver lines

Ashen

Before Ashen, I thought they were overrated. Deathcore bands seem to have a capacity to evolve quickly. I’ve seen quite a few bands in this genre grow exponentially from one album to the next, and Ashen is a particularly strong example. Metallurgical Fire

Immersion
by FRACTALIZE

supported by 13 fans who also own “Breaking The Contortionist”

Intense and interesting. Clearly worshipping at the altar of Meshuggah, and while vocals are absent that void is filled by a more intense bottom end, and guitar picking that becomes its own rhythmic instrument. This is brilliant, but I’d love to see what this guy would do with some artistic collaboration. One man bands can get stuck in one dimension and the potential shown here could be a global phenomenon with just a little tweaking. Let me finish by saying again, this is brilliant. Lute FP
