Force open your eyes.
Try to make sense of the world collapsing around you.
See through their disguise and their cycle of misinformation.
Now you cast away your soul, as you relinquish control.
With their blood they pay the toll.
It’s not too late to save what’s left of humanity.
Are we too blind to see that we have placed a curse upon this world?
We have the answer.
We know the answer to what we should not question.
We know the answer to every fucking question.
Cast aside every objection.
Unless we reach a crisis point, our lives would remain meaningless, where there’s no hope of progress.
Is there nothing that you won’t believe?
The entire world is living on their knees.
This is our last chance to escape the jaws of fear that isolate us from any hope of regaining power. Reconstructed piece by piece, another lie to soon become a memory.
In my mind I know that this could never be the path chosen.
You’d rather forget, you’d rather give in.
We lack the insight until you begin to see nothing is quite what it seems.
Breathe deep and look inside - is this the path you’ve chosen?
Reason is cast aside amidst misinformation.
Realise the fate of knowledge lies within the hands of those who value ignorance.
To set the wheels in motion.
To recognise we’re victims of this paradigm.
Behold, the promise is broken, brought down by blades of ignorance.
The mad will lead the blind.
We have the answer, we know the answer.
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
