Conjurer of the plague
The bringer of infinite storm
Whose fog has fallen thin
Whose shadows drift and fade away
You can fool me not
By veils of such transparency
Condemned to where you guide
By weak beguile to quell the herd
I dare you to prove me wrong
Let these words rekindle your fire
It's been this way for so long
There's no end to justify
Must I die here alone?
With no one to tend to my gravestone
He whose water douses the flame
Whose tongue then curses the black of night
While his days are fading away
Closer draws the casket
With the threat of a coma unrestrained
Into the depths we dive
Divided we fall as one
I dare you to prove me wrong
Let these words rekindle your fire
It's been this way for so long
There's no end to justify
Must I die here alone?
With no one to tend to my grave stone
I stand before you now as the preacher
To cast upon you my words of a charlatan
My strength forever inhibited
A victim of the lost that control
I see the waters run red
Forever tainted with the blood of my soul
Spitting forth hypocrisy
I am my own worst enemy
Guitar Solo: Alex
I dare you to prove me wrong
Let these words rekindle your fire
It's been this way for so long
There's no end to justify

Terminal Diagnosis
03:23
|

To see in from the outside
To see from another perspective
To witness without attachment
To be unbound by emotion
A freedom that escapes
From the strain that will not see
Yet condemns those of the same sickness
So as it thrives, so do you decay
The virus mutates its innocence away
A rose by any other name
Shrivels and dies all the same
Embrace the change and realign
To cast the shade away
So as it thrives, so do you decay
The virus mutates its innocence away
They hold their own key to the cure
Where both can survive
Yet they choose to turn eyes blind
Guitar Solo: Richard

Descending down through the void
Forced to repeatedly feel
As the cycle of suicide
Withdraws from the urge to sustain
Severed from the notion to exist
I feel it cascading over me
Crushing recognition
That we are all guiding the sands
Dragging us down to decay
Guitar Solo: Alex
Belittled by those who dance in the flames
They who revel in fleeting dreams
Discarding my ascension
We'll meet once again in the aftermath
I feel it cascading over me
Crushing recognition
That our time withers away
As we all stoke the flames
Guitar Solo: Richard

Crypt Of The Blasphemous
05:20
|
|||
|
From beyond the shadows
I can feel it lurking
Waiting to strike
Biding its time
It feels like no one wants to know
As if they're choosing not to see
There's no way that they cannot know
Such blindness can't be true
Or is it my eyes that deceive?
What is it that I have not seen?
A detail that I've overlooked
One final missing piece
There is no vision to share
You've kept me in the dark
For far too long now
From where I'm standing, I repeat
There is no end to justify
From where you're standing you push on
Adding to the burden
This hallowed ground on which we stand
Approaches point of no return
From which our fates will be decided
With no hope of turning back
There is no vision to share
You've kept me in the dark
For far too long now
I cannot follow so blindly
This is more than a leap of faith
This is more than I can allow
In the face of the devil
That you have always denied
Choosing to endure
And continue to defile
That which was is erased
To become your unholy crypt
And the final resting place
Of the blasphemous
There is no vision to share
You've kept me in the dark
For far too long now
I cannot follow so blindly
This is more than a leap of faith
This is more than I can allow

White Noise
06:13
|
|||
|
Overwhelmed
Drowning in the discord
Dragged beneath, to once again
Compete amidst the growing masses
Crying out for a fleeting moment
For a glimpse of vital clarity
Recurrent, yet always inadequate
With every thousand moments passed
A million more would barely break the mould
As our lives are dazed by the dissonance
And the seer falls to the charlatan
You cannot deny it, or fight it
And you can no longer hide it
Your secrets are out for all to see
Embrace the change, rewrite my destiny
Rewrite
Rewrite
Rewrite my destiny
You cannot deny it, or fight it
And you can no longer hide it
Your secrets are out for all to see
Embrace the change, rewrite my destiny

Too Close To The Sun
06:21
|
|||
|
Rapid ascension, brought to fruition
At the expense of the lifeblood
On which we live and which we die
Omit today in delusion of tomorrow
While the dawns beyond seem too distant
To be worth our time
Paving the way on roads we cannot sustain
While we await their imminent collapse
Fading denial
It feels as though I have observed
Beyond the smoke and through the mirrors
To what's beyond, while yet we stand
Impeded by the resonance
Of tenacious, and ever-growing, white noise
Still, I wait for you
Forever beneath your tainted dreams
Praying for the day that you return
So we may then both heal together
Lead astray by sirens most unorthodox
Calling out to us by seductive melodies
Songs of gold and strengths incomprehensible
That entice us too close to the sun
Guitar Solo: Richard
Now as we step upon the stage
To raise the curtain to begin
The penultimate episodes
In a tale of disarray
Echoing cries fall denied
By they who would die
With their heads still in the sand
Still, I wait for you
Forever beneath your tainted dreams
Praying for the day that you return
So we may then both heal together

Suicide Pact
03:27
|
|||
|
Condemned
Confined to the brig of a sinking vessel
This despair is all that I have ever known
Born to be forever restrained by the delusion
That we are anything more than insignificant
Cling to facades and your false beliefs
To the lies that you tell yourself
Rejecting that which you can't conform
That which falls from the line
To demons calling our names
By their songs of seductive fire
Denied my chance to rightfully choose
Between the paths that branch before me
My alignment forced to coincide
To kneel before you and join your suicide pact
Take the time to realign
Discard the lies and no longer deny
See the scope and compare yourselves
Perceive our lives from beyond our eyes
Guitar Solo: Alex
And beyond our ways, should we maintain
May our pollution remain contained
May no more come to ascertain
And thus never know of our shame
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
I refuse to believe it
This solace that I feel
Must be reciprocated
I can't be the only one
There must be more
To find such comfort
Within such loneliness
Bury me too deep to find
May the earth forever cover all of our sins
May our bodies remain never to be found
Guitar Solo: Richard
Bury me in an unmarked grave
I dream of the silence
Of being lost to the stars
Grant me this mercy
Of never ending solitude

Husk
02:59
|
|||
|
As I face the abyss
Staring into the figure before me
Its shape I recognise
But its contents leave me lost
The silence of my voice
Resonates within us both
There are pieces familiar
Yet something echoes out of key
The more I try to fathom
The more I drift away
To the point of no return
Where it all becomes so clear
A callous soul
Unwillingly forced upon me
This path I did not choose
But it's now the only one I know
Made cold by my forced immersion
This is not what was meant for me
We are far beyond regression
Fake no more tears
For I am naught but what you have made me into
Made cold by my forced immersion
This is not what was meant for me
We are far beyond regression
Fake no more tears
For I am naught but a husk of my former self

Defiant To The End
05:16
|
|||
|
Curses of dissonance
Betraying us by mass distraction
Leading us to believe in the labyrinth
That fuels our estrangement
Side by side with the rise of the sun
Side by side with the ascent of the moon
Temporal divisions in between
Before we arrive at the end of our perception
May we remain forever
Defiant to the end
Reshaping our own personal worlds
Guiding our light to those beyond
Silence now dissipates
With voices rising in unison
Every rebellion empowers me
Compelling me to push on
Day by day, one step at a time
Embrace the change and no longer deny
Nurture the seeds that we have sown
To shape the seasons far beyond our own
May we remain forever
Defiant to the end
Reshaping our own personal worlds
Guiding our light to those beyond
Guitar Solo: Richard
May we remain forever
Defiant to the end
Reshaping our own personal worlds
Guiding our light to those beyond ourselves

Visions of Infinihility
by Carnosus
supported by 6 fans who also own “Too Close To The Sun”
Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 6 fans who also own “Too Close To The Sun”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
