What is this feeling
That I pushed aside
Only to catch my breath one last time
Before it creeps on me
Slicing open old wounds that I though were healed
Can you withstand this moment
Before you´re craving for more
One more beating
To break away from this obsession
And your solemn mind is looking for a
Way to break this mold
Where you’ve been put to hold
Incapasitated from the start by
The poisonous fruit of your making
I can no longer take this burden with me
Dissassembling my predestination
When the deed has been done
They’ll want their piece of the reward
Ask for it and it will be done
But don’t look for revival
There are wolves everywhere I choose to go
Every turn I take moving along
Stare at the soul of the beast
Unrelenting hunger that resides within
I need to shed this skin
To be free of all commodities
Integral to my old self’s survival
When you arrive to an end of a path
Will you make your own way
Or back down
When you decide to take cover from the storm
Be mindful of debris born from your
Baseless rumours
Listen closely and take a look at your work
Watch the horrors unfold
As the poison takes control
So I´ll keep pretending no harm has been done
Until my resolve is gone
There’s no way to move on
From these horrid daydreams
So I stay awake and watch the sunrise
To keep my memories at bay
And live to see another day
The wolves are coming
At the mercy of imagination, I kneel at the gates
The raging fire, eviscerating my denial
Acclimating to a sickness with a too high of a cost
I can’t bear to live like this, can’t survive avoiding it
I kneel at the gates
Maximum Haardrock. This album is so fun to listen to at work. It has highs and lows, the riffs are catchy, The drums are in your face. Calle really is a riff genius. Anvbisindy
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
Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
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
