Lash by lash, skin starts to separate
The forked tongue sneers begin to chip away
Collapsing walls constructed by clenching fists
Scar tissue tells corrosive tales like bloodied hieroglyphs
The Judas whispers echo each and every night
The bones that fuse and break beneath the hallowed light
A whipping boy malformed, both wretched and alone
The heart of glass that breaks reveals a heart of stone
The leather cracks and pens another tome
Another chapter of sordid suffering and gloom
Formations skew the etchings, the shaking hands of scribes
Who pray for inked quills to turn to bloodied knives
The day has dawned when tables turned are set ablaze
A nail through every wrist that struck upon the trembling brave
Upon the cross of impenitence, the fallen lords shall bleed
A monument to the burning shame, writhing in the meek

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
