danielblanchette This album is totally awesome. Cannot believe a debut album sounds so good. Excellent songwriting, excellent mixing and tone. Best music I have heard under the "metalcore" tag on Bandcamp in a long time. Reminds me of Erra a bit. Hope to hear more from these dudes!!!

Transference 04:34
lyrics
There's gotta be, I don't know. I feel like I know but I don't. It's this feeling, just my gut telling me something isn't right. I... I need a way out. But I'm running out of options. I keep... I keep dreaming... It all started, I couldn't even tell you when. It just feels so real, its got to be something more. It's like another world. No rust, no rot. There was even a sky, a proper sky. Not this artificial blanket we live under. Not being sold prior lives, not being born under dying skies, not being chained to a world where the soul only dies. Soul only dies. Rapture me Pull the thread and Tear the seam Everyday feels the same A chromatic shift in the pallet of light Angelic mouths speak blasphemies Spit their bile from up high Their piercing tongues Their ashen lungs Haunt the caverns in my mind Corrupted night Primal lies Eternal spite

A Sky Beyond 05:54
lyrics
Casting shadows on the wall Blinding light consuming all Savor not Dream of life before the rot Epiphany we sought to find Left as husks discarded rinds Savor not Dream of life before Earth embrace the fire’s song Earth embrace our coming dawn Earth embrace the liar’s song Earth embrace the endless dawn Hunter given sight Rings of flame and countless eyes Drones that scorched the sky Endless days the death of night Rejoice the day Our fall from grace A sight to behold End of the play A timeless lie To scar the mind To bind our hands And to blind our eyes The sky beckons us It’s all consuming The sky beckons us The sky beckons us A new beginning The sky beckons us Not a manufactured form A simple chance to be reborn Consecrated monolith Rebirth, respite, the end of death The sky beckons us Hunter given sight Rings of flame and countless eyes Drones that scorched the sky Endless days, the death of night A timeless lie To scar the mind To bind our hands and To blind our eyes

Spiraling 05:21
lyrics
Step right up lets gather around Got a feeling this will raise some brows Salvation has arrived in the nick of time Single file lets keep it in line Oh huddled masses I think you’ll find You’re trapped in rotting flesh and a decaying mind Settle for less and keep begging for more Or plug into a future worth dying for A sensory overload A new plateau you can call your own An exodus from the hell below A sky beyond all you could ever know When time is material What’s the cost to Remove the weight from your soul Before it all comes spiraling down The oldest fallacy that we’ve been retelling Make an argument from a point of authority They’ve settled the boundaries, painted the lines Now we’ve given you a chance to become divine So take your stance among the gods and shed the cloak of mortal A new awakening to a new sense of being Falling into time and swaying with the rhyme So join the chorus with me And conquer entropy Before it all comes spiraling down When time is material What’s the cost to (Dreaming of the shore) Remove the weight from your soul (Take me to the shore) Before it all comes spiraling down Our final offer guaranteed One way ticket to all you’ll ever need Then you (yes you) will never cease to be One last chance for immortality (Memoria Technica) I cross the line Take my place on the shore Transference initialize Reclaiming the sky Pull the root from aching sore Redeem your flesh as more Reborn on the shore

Memoria I. Replicate 04:49
lyrics
Survival of the fittest All dreams paid to come true Directors of all thoughts once kept in the mind (Replicating) Reconstruct and reconstrue Replicate the thought of you My reprieve from these finite lands Is a husk of myself A cascading wave of regret taking me The part of me that thought they knew That’s screaming to say Must away Render unto me an alternative frame Not of one built from monotone brain One that’s not the goddamn same It’s all the same The same refrain The verse they sing Cycling evermore This feeling burning inside of me Endless corridors keep me spiraling These figures imposing River runs shallow but stretches eternally Waiting for the day that it takes me Disposable memories (memoria technica the) (memoria technica our) (memoria technica your) We built ourselves a consciousness collective From the lowest bidder Wash it away Invoke the rain Devour it all Replicate me Remove, release me from the Memoria Technica will burn This air that they say I breathe Will they keep giving? Born to stand in rot and rust Let ashes fly, turn to dust This feeling burning inside of me Endless corridors keep me spiraling These figures imposing River runs shallow but stretches eternally Waiting for the day that it takes me Disposable memories

Memoria II. Rebirth 05:26
lyrics
Severing the chains restraining me Hear its call Whispering Pulling me Becoming An exit wound for this memory A parting gift for all to see Isolated severed consciousness Mind castrated in iron obelisk Severing Rapture me and end the dream just Pull the thread and tear the seam Return To One Reborn As One The vessels awaiting Transference commencing Eyes awakening To a familiar scene The horror engulfs me Severing Rapture me and end the dream just Pull the thread and tear the seam Return To One Reborn As One Every replication a concession Duplicating imperfection Replication a concession Duplicating imperfection Every…

Endless Dawn 04:26
lyrics
Lingering shadows on the wall Radiant light will still destroy us all Savor the rot it’s all that remains Robbed of night it flows it cascades Epiphanies were plucked from minds Better served as husks than to be named divine Let me embrace the fire’s song I embrace the endless dawn A sensory overload A new plateau you can call your own An exodus, hell below A sky beyond all you could ever know (It’s all the same The same refrain The verse they sing Evermore) (It’s all the same The same refrain The verse they sing Cycling) It beckoned me but now I’ll sing The end of my own story I cast my heart into that sea I dream of what that life must be The fangs of this world can’t sink themselves into me After all i’ve fought and all the tears I’ve shed Exhausting the answers in my head The finale of my story I’ll be the author in the end (As I fall into the sea it’s comforting to know We’ll never walk that path alone)

Terminus 02:46
lyrics
Wide awake The end embraced the archive stayed Bound in place Shackled to the threads of fate Shells cast aside now divining eyes We scan horizons for eternity to escape our lives (Tethered to this dream River calls to me Visions run through me River calls to me) Our symphony of spite Our harmony of collective sighs Given sight Connect the lines that frames will bind Chart their mind Collate the branch compile time Trace the source of this Catastrophic monument Dive into the depths below The river welcomes all to its flow Memoria Technica The cardinal sin but far from the last attempt Spiraling through thousands more Crashing onto countless shores Descend into the last bastion left

Ancestral 08:39
lyrics
Inheritor by birth A welcome heirloom Legacy unearthed Ancestral bindings to Return to legend Return to status quo Primal mistake Return to the river’s flow Return to the river’s flow Primal Mistake Primal River it calls Beckoned on breeze Take me River it calls Beckoned on breeze now to Take me The coming nights long Take what they can then forsake me Let them sing their chorus will ring But no verse left to follow no song for tomorrow Roots bind me here Numbered in centuries Keep me slumbering But this path they think to force me take Will run its course And they’ll say that i defied my fate So gnash and tear Tooth and claw Drag away The soil they dug in will rot with my grave Tethered to this dream (Repeating) Visions run through me (Repeating) The roots that bind me here Numbered in centuries Keep me slumbering But this path they think to force me take Will run its course And they’ll say that i defied my fate Let them sing their chorus will ring But no verse left to follow No song for tomorrow Roots bind them here (Visions poison me) Tortured for centuries (Wake the vile dream) End their slumbering
