Right now, for the very first time
I’m truly feeling alive
Newfound distractions obscuring the need
To lose my mind
To be read under a different light
I shared my feelings with you all tonight
So I may find my way in the end
All I ever wanted was to keep breathing
A superficial light radiates
Industrializing this age
Raise the torch and set ablaze
Distraction by design
In the city of the blind
Surrender your self
and you’ll be my sacrifice
Pounding at a door that’s locked from inside
Please let me through or I’ll lose my mind
Inadmissable, barely audible
Are the screams I hear through the hollow walls
Hide now it’s not the first time
That you’ve had to weight the values you hold
Ride along the sidelines and through the shadows
That’s all you’ve ever known
A superficial light radiates
Industrializing this age
Raise the torch and set ablaze
Distraction by design
In the city of the blind
Surrender your self
And you’ll be my sacrifice
I need you to know I endured
This torment with a smile
I can’t surrender tonight
I’m stranded here
I can’t surrender tonight
Days on end
I can’t surrender tonight
I took the fall
I can’t surrender tonight
I sealed my fate

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

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
