brianwilliams82 I try to avoid superlatives in my mini BC reviews as you just want to know what this sounds like, not whether it amazed me. But fuck it, the songwriting on this blew me away! Thrashy melodic death with incredible, heart-wrenching leadwork and a vocalist who sounds a helluva lot like Matt Heafy (dry, vaguely-constipated bark/roar). 'Praying for the Prey' is the highest high in an album full of them; the lead section is simply sensational! Favorite track: Praying for the Prey.

SkunkBeatManiac A notable MDM album. There are series of brilliant riffs, long solos & improvisations that occupy the majority of the album. Although there are brief singing parts on every songs (except for the last two) that reminds you that this is still a Death Metal. There are plenty of great moments in this album that will satisfy the both Death and Instrumental Metal listeners. Favorite track: Praying for the Prey.

rickyrage666 I have the first album and now just purchased the new one. I love the pure raw power.

Metal-ur-G There's a lot of complexity to this, that makes it a slow grower. superb musicianship with a feel of bands such as Death, Revocation and Dissection, and a vocalist that sounds like a considerably angrier/more heartfelt version of the guy from Cloak. Favorite track: Slowly, We Tie the Noose.

Weilding despair Scattered minds place the pieces of a shattered world With fear you trace the lines of a tortured soul Succumb to the emptiness inside Project without whats within Finding yourself Buried in air Nihiline The corrosive bile of the weak Corroding the mind Ascending thoughts to steep

Desperate cry to stifled minds This message torn from the soul Insane thoughts of tolerance Denied by ideas too old Praying for the prey The all important embryo Life only within your eyes Manipulates the emotions Of the blind Praying for the Prey Gods hand has no place here Run and hide behind your pew Only the sinners take heed We are not wrong Born as we're needed to be Hell exists only within your mind We are left to burn in your design We bleed internally And fatally dry Abolish hope with lost sanity A punishment not seen but felt Desire hidden Beneath the veil Run and hide behind your pew Only the sinners take heed We are not wrong Born as we're needed to be Hell exists only within your mind We are left to burn in your design We bleed internally And fatally dry

Lights flicker through a darkened path Shadows dance throughout The vengeful whispers of the river flow like home Beckon me back Swallowed whole my will to live I've seen the terrors within Every detail of this horror's haunting me again Search the soul I must go on Will tonight be the end? How could I have sunk so low? You always said I was strong Without your love to hold me up I no longer belong Witnessed from above Your body smash the rocks Drawn in and torn apart By the unrelenting waves Search the soul I can't go on Will tonight be the end? The blasphemy of envy A fate reserved for the living As the dark desires haunt me From the shadows of my soul The blasphemy of envy A thought all consuming As the weight bears down upon me I know I wanted more So fucking tired Of feeling dead and alone How can I go on Knowing what life has shown? Witnessed from above Your body smash the rocks Drawn in and torn apart By the unrelenting waves Search the soul I can't go on Will tonight be the end?

A subtle boil in stagnant water As the dam of judgment begins to crack Design thoughts to rattle the cage And break the chains within The auspice of normality Will be proven wrong again A subtle boil in stagnant water As the dam of judgment begins to crack Collapsing stability Define morality Consume the self And define morality The truth emerges from the jagged lines of history But who is right, in the end? Collapsing stability Define morality Consume the self And define morality

Out of breath Strangled and weak First attempt unsuccessful Left behind a life unknown Wash the blood from around your feet Bile adorns the day This sickness sleeps Within the shadows of death Just one more! I beg, I feel, I plead... Just one more! I dissolve, i fade... I need How much abuse can one soul take? Before the soul's all that's left behind When what is lost is worthless Are the graves still dug the same? Escape is painless when you hide within your mind Escape means nothing when you leave nothing behind Despair, you feel it, you know it, welcome it home Secede unto to it and again it brings you home Mercilessly unrelenting To watch this skin bleed I'm tempted Escape is painless when you hide within your mind Escape means nothing when you leave nothing behind Despair, you feel it, you know it, welcome it home Secede unto to it and again it brings you home You try and again you fall to your knees You grow, you build, you falter And again you fall to your knees Solo- Teran Matt Teran Matt Slowly, Slowly we tie the noose

Burns Alone 06:22
Fractured futures Forgotten pasts Torturing ourselves In times elapsed Succumbing to failure These dead eyes stare With a lack of education Leaving only arms to bear Famine of thought Drought of the mind Searching for answers In the fantasy you hide My sympathy It turns to stone Your flame It burns alone Familiar condition Familiar lies Zero tolerance Zero vision From 1000 eyes My sympathy It turns to stone Your flame It burns alone Fighting for ideas beyond Comprehension by your stifled mind Like maggots Your ideas growth continues blind Fighting for ideas beyond Comprehension by your stifled mind As the ground beneath you falls And you are left behind

Welcome inside look around and take it in There's nothing hidden behind these walls we sin This hurt i cannot abstain Inflicted, projected, mundane Life swirls in and I give in again Volition & vitriol Starving to feel real within You scratch, I claw Our synaptic dance spirals helpless This pain I let within ignites a world long claimed extinguished Life's stronger than my defence Selfishly enmeshed in turpitude This hurt is necessary This feeling is real This night I bring along the pain I'll make you feel Volition & vitriol Starving to feel real within You scratch, I claw Our synaptic dance spirals helpless and dead Solo Matt Teran Volition & vitriol Starving to feel real within You scratch, I claw Our synaptic dance spirals helpless Volition & vitriol Starving to feel real within Weekend weakness leads weakened minds astray Lost, grasping longingly for truth
