lyrics
(Simultaneously)
[On]
[Noooooo]
He:
And all this time you knew of my demise,
as I walked blindly by your side.
Led to my fall, I wish to be released from it all,
Away from them, helpless as these worlds
Divide
Just let me stay
[a circling shine, radiating amongst a dark cold reality; a resistance]
He:
The lair returns, were we ever there after all?
Among the precious beings, untouched and still, waiting for time.
Among them is my kin somewhere resting
I can't let it go
He:
Now that I've seen into my past,
Staring through the glass of the
mirror which you presented before me
As it showed what I had done
Witnessing self reflection
Viduus:
You dwell as if the end, but we've only just begun.
We must move on,
go now from this place
Leave your flesh behind, it is too far gone,
of no use to us.
He:
As we're drifting on, catatonic and stone;
resisting everything, unconscious,
unable to accept
I can't let them go
I cannot go on
He:
When the storm planted its seed inside of me
I could only watch it grow
out of control.
Surely she'll come
Just leave me here, let me stay
Viduus: Dissolve your pain body you can overcome this,
there's no time for you to dwell on decisions so selfish
[I go back to the mirror only to see a lifeless shell drowned in emerald]
Viduus: To Gaze upon your final sights
Your drowning form once filled with pride.
Before you, self-inflicted wounds
Cemented inside a restless tomb
You will not find peace without acceptance
You've been given what many wish to see, a grand reverse,
opportunity of redemption built from your will,
but this is not the being you've shown.
It's this or the end make the choice
He:
It shows the last breath my body had, underwater my eyes see mortally for the last time
The wall between us, built higher than I could reach
As I was left gazing down in emerald
Your face is the last sight I see
Viduus: Leave yourself in the past, denying all opportunities ahead of
you. To see your created life
you must come with me now, there is no time
He:
I must drift on, say goodbye to the life I left
Into the unfamiliar, distant haze
But to see the one we've made
Is worth everything
With resistance now dissolved.
No resistance, we dissolve.
[stepping into the mirror with new light. The final stage; a redemption]
[On]
[Noooooo]

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10

The Enduring Spirit

Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list

Culinary-themed melodic death metal outfit cook up a smorgasbord of fierce solos, tight percussion, and cheeky, foodie-approved screeds.
