I wind up this music box that plays precious melodies
Of my childhood, brings a sea of memories
Lends its hand to me: a powerful seduction
Lays submission near revelation
What is this strange noise radiating from the walls
Of this relic? Please don't die, I'll heal your scars
Blood is flowing from what used to be my best friend
Why must you leave? These wounds I cannot mend
Wake up...
Sanity calls...
An ancient mansion takes me to the depths
Of its barren core, my feet move by themselves
Winds are whispering dire and desperate warnings
Freezing solitude protects my marching
One of the chambers holds a humble treasure
Small and familiar with a shining lever
Turning the old key scatters the tune I demand
These walls, this bleak place: My buddy, my precious friend
Crawling in the dirt
Beneath darkness and cold
Treading through inches of
Intense agony
Rising up high
To the world above
Blinding sunlight
Cleanses, cages my thoughts, my corpse
Among the ruins I reach for the room
That sheltered me in my youth
Serenity stops, someone's knocking
Could it be life? Or could it be... death?
"A hard path leads to joy"?
You have deceived me
"A hard path leads to joy"?
You have betrayed me

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

Seen them live during their “new faces of death” tour with inferi, rivers of nihil, harbinger and fallujah. This album is one of my big time favourites!!! sachavonkarl74
