lyrics
He:
Eyes are wide seeing for the first time, there’re new skies above me.
Feel numb as I rise from the ground, surrounded in beauty I never thoughtto be found.
Where my body was, there is nothing at all
Where my skin once was, an ethereal gaping hole
So cold but I am nothing at all, stoic and comfortable.
Floating softly, hover above ground.
Is this existence I have always had?
An evolution of the highest form?
World below me that I never knew
But I’ve felt.
[the pain of death]
A new atmosphere, colors we've never dreamt before.
No sign of life, have I left it all behind?
I must know
Empty path unfound, lured in a nebula or void?
No sign of life, I have left it all behind
He:
As I drift further on, no fear is felt on the inside
Never thought, never felt this empty before
Bestowed; to walk the other side
Enchanted, intrigued in desolation
But more elevated than any being
Beyond
[a figure, the face of the void appears and I’m struck with stillness; a
radiation]
Petrified, paralyzed by the hand of death
The dark currents flow through my chest
Frozen stiff, I’ve lost all ability
Before me a swarm of crumbling graves, immobile I watch them rise from ground.
As I drift further on, no fear is felt inside
Face to face, journey towards the sun
Welcoming the sight of oblivion
Oblivion
Viduus: Behold, the reaper of souls, Time at an end, your coffin open
He: As a million graves rise from-
Eyes are wide seeing for the first time, there’re new skies above me.
Feel numb as I rise from the ground, surrounded in beauty I never thoughtto be found.

Where my skin once was, an ethereal gaping hole
So cold but I am nothing at all, stoic and comfortable.
Floating softly, hover above ground.
Is this existence I have always had?
An evolution of the highest form?
World below me that I never knew
But I’ve felt.
[the pain of death]
A new atmosphere, colors we've never dreamt before.
No sign of life, have I left it all behind?

Empty path unfound, lured in a nebula or void?
No sign of life, I have left it all behind

Never thought, never felt this empty before
Bestowed; to walk the other side

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

Un album dense et une atmosphère oppressante. Mélodique et puissant. 3/5

The Enduring Spirit
by Tomb Moldsupported by 4 fans who also own “The Sight of Oblivion”
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.
