lyrics
He: Beast before me I plead,
I beg to be blessed with the knowledge of I.
Retrieve my thoughts, recreate my mind. I wish to know what and who I was while alive.
Enlighten me tell me of my demise, how did I die?
Viduus: Now that I've seen your time, entered your thoughts glanced
through your eyes. There's much for you to learn, see and feel. In my
chamber all will be revealed.
He: No hesitance, voyage forth.
With many questions I bring
Unaware of what lies ahead
Walking the other side.
Viduus:
As we carry on you may encounter haunting sights,
my presence countering all light.
Travel close beside, nearing ever closer to our site.
Harrowing thoughts led weary minds.
He: No hesitance, walk beside
Ill find the answers I desperately crave, ailment to subside
My only thought, what I must do
Embody flesh and live anew
A vessel I need, to become whole again
I'll vacate this cursed land
And relive how I died
From a soul to flesh.
Splitting between, half empty in separate forms
Trust the Beast on the path to completion
Fulfilment lying in the unknown, As we approach the structure ahead
[in the room of life there’s a new light speaking; a resonating]
Viduus:
A flicker or a glow? Could this mean just what it seems. Gazing upon his creation unknowingly.
The attachment I foresee will destroy him indefinitely.
Still such tragedy looming leaving me intrigued,
the human mind flawed so unkind how would it to be?
Creator of life yet born of fragility.
Sickening mediocrity.
In time he will know all, but first vessel recovered memory
He: The Energy overwhelming me
Stimulating what is left inside
What's growing within is unknown
This connection familiar could it be
My Home?
The vessel I need, not of this place
I've been led astray
The end of the line
Viduus: Welcome, Creator.
I beg to be blessed with the knowledge of I.
Retrieve my thoughts, recreate my mind. I wish to know what and who I was while alive.
Enlighten me tell me of my demise, how did I die?
Viduus: Now that I've seen your time, entered your thoughts glanced
through your eyes. There's much for you to learn, see and feel. In my

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 Soul to Flesh”
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.
