Marcello Velasco Okay, I'm late to the game. Totally missed this release. I've been a fan since day one. Own all the albums before on CD and am so happy that they finally released a new album. These guys have been in my Top-3 core-bands since the beginning. ❤️❤️❤️

Ego sum inanis, In perpetuum tandem liberavit me I’ve perfected a life long gone, a master built to protect only to wander A purpose left unknown and as he vacates his throne he will suffer Every passing plants a seed, a notion of perfection, so perplexing If we put a token to the mind in motion then we focus it’s sickening If you’re looking for peace of mind, you will find that there is no peace in mine Ego sum inanis, in perpetuum tandem liberavit me As I watched you die I felt the pain deep inside, effervescence in the pain prescribed This broken narrow line was only left to provide a struggle and a life confined Every passing plants a seed, a notion of perfection, so perplexing If we put a token to the mind in motion then we focus it’s sickening Ego sum inanis, in perpetuum tandem liberavit me (I know I made a promise to you, to reconcile all these feelings of loss and contempt, But now it’s all dust on your graves that I can’t reclaim, please forgive me. Stricken here too many times, to justify the reasons why, I deserve hell for what I’ve done And hell is what I’ve become) I am ravaged from inside, lamenting horrors are side by side, I am delivered and I question thee, have you seen the beast the lives within me?
3.	Into The Night 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Perplexing the face of death has noxious breath Fills me with hate, subjugate every vermin QUAKE Conjure his word, Hell is well preserved My heart it fills with anguish, I lust for the serpent's cure With every chiming bell, my soul has felt the bringer's wound Deprived of light and sanctum, submerged in the abyss Behind the veil there lies a monster's waking imminent (Chorus) I arise With pain I thrive Consuming souls and bringing hell to life I arise With pain I thrive Legions follow me into the night Perplexing the face of death has noxious breath Fills me with hate, subjugate every vermin BLEED OUT SLOW The skies are clear tonight Perfect for sacrifice This lamb, I will indulge With every passing moment, I lust for death and doom Desire is my tomb (Chorus) I was thought to be cursed and diseased Perpetuating death, I am released (Chorus) I arise

infinite my power becomes I am a demigod, by purpose I was forged amidst the stardust perpetually in formation, devised for earthly process I am here to extract the world of sentience and force my godly essence, welcome to the void constellations are forming from the cracks in your bones and creating my home, welcome to the void. perpetually in formation, devised for earthly process the construction of this landscape begins with the subjugation of all anthropoids, shrouded in avarice, the perfect ploy. I am a demigod, by purpose I was forged amidst the stardust, perpetually in formation, devised for earthly process. now you're mine to puppeteer the extinction event that will wipe out all your years, here's the supervoid. I'm misunderstood in my essence that will finally drown the universe, usurped by supervoid. Welcome to the void
5.	The Conscious Observer 05:19	lyrics	buy track
I am the conscious observer Left to revel and never be released (I am the conscious observer, and i will watch you suffer) I'm just a fabric amongst the stars Purposed for a voyage into endless dust Bedlam will continue, innocence lost I see it clearly now Your kingdom was upside down (Chorus) I am the conscious observer And i will watch them suffer Staring with a grin on my face as you fucking beg I'll watch you burn Gaze in my eyes as I watch you burn As I watch your fabric graze by the sun The realization came to me, that you were temporary (Chorus) To cut the head the head off the snake Is to purge and let remain The stars aligned from the very first time You felt the pressure build That's when your fear came rushing in I understand your guilt and shame But the only constant that remains, is change (Chorus) I'll watch you burn Burn Gaze in my eyes as I watch you burn
6.	Servile 04:26	lyrics	buy track
You will witness I've become the purge infecting the crypts Baptized in sludge will lead to metamorphosis As you lie awake Pray your soul to keep They'll kill your sons,daughters,mothers and fathers Make ready to slaughter the sons by the guilt of their fathers lest they rise and possess the earth To fill the breadth of the world with tyrants Nightfall weakens as the legions emerge Bereft of refuge Malevolence in masses, sacrificial practice Submit your will to me, all who are besieged Under the yoke of slavery Showered in the blood of children scorned Vermin and whores Mutilated and torn As you lie awake Pray your soul to keep They'll kill your sons,daughters,mothers and fathers You have become material puppets With every pulse you are now controlled by my dominion As the sludge begins it's course This perfection inside is nigh I am the shrills and the cries Erect from the stench of dead men Born from the horrors of life Strife taken in stride An awful gift creates a divide Now I am tyrannical and mad Angry but glad I was bestowed death I am whole I am one I am God I am the only revered God I have seen the sky There is only I Amidst the space and molecules of the world Spreading as one, you will become mine.
7.	Dethroned 04:28	lyrics	buy track
I gaze into the eyes of a man once exonerated from his future plans He renders himself unworthy of this tranquility The venom courses through, he is numb Thrust your will upon the backs of giants, In the process you’ve lost reverence. Lay your kingdom down to rest You’ll pray for death, I’ll pray there’s nothing left This is your degradation, all I see is red and exploitation A core ridden with guilt a heart of darkness, I hope the scars were worth it The venom courses through, he is numb Thrust your will upon the backs of giants, In the process you’ve lost reverence. Lay your kingdom down to rest You’ll pray for death, I’ll pray there’s nothing left Hold on to what hurts the most, rid yourself of the ghost
8.	The Nothing 05:18	lyrics	buy track
This incantation is spoken by the serpent’s father Poison drips from the fangs as he seethes and prepares the crypt For his prey He sees me, he is waiting He sees you when you’re sleeping He waits for the perfect time to strike. The hunter’s mark, thrill of the hunt, I make the perfect victim As he wraps his body around mine, I feel the guilt sweep in. The pressure cracks my ribs, he cracked my ribs This incantation is spoken by the serpent’s father Poison drips from the fangs as he seethes and prepares the crypt For his prey Captivated by my avarice, I met my fate now who am I to blame The struggle worse with every breath, I grasp my chest and yet I pray I grasp my chest, and yet I pray, he held me still, and gazed into my eyes As he wraps his body around mine, I feel the guilt sweep in. The pressure cracks my ribs, he cracked my ribs He held me still and gazed into my eyes, he welcomed me to hell as I died The corpse was telling me to leave, my deprivation had left me deceived
9.	Sungrazer 03:43	lyrics	buy track
Millennias have come to pass, an aging mystery was formed in glass A man encased by depravity, has become a God of iniquity Skies divide, looming the earthly demise inside Violence brewing in time disguised as a decree for the blind contrived Breaking your will from the sky x2 I am the infinite, reframed and operated. I’m christened by a power that was abhorred I am the infinite Skies divide, looming the earthly demise inside Violence brewing in time disguised as a decree for the blind contrived Breaking your will from the sky The miserable portrait of a man weeping a thousand tears fills the air The visage bears eternal condemnation Their eyes are open, they will never see My face.
10.	Absolute Truth 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Learn to suffer A vision of broken palms is staring back at me A surge of life once brought his eyes a sparkle left untithed. The realization paints this picture piece by piece. The clocks dreadful tick alerts me of what I may miss. The feint glow of death brings me duress so now I must say, the key to life is you must learn to suffer Learn to suffer, you will learn to suffer. As blood runs down I feel the warmth again. nerve endings scream to bones that they are not forgotten. The beams will break and suffocate, yet yearn for sustenance. A world of white so sleek and bright, has brought peace to our minds. The advent of despair and miscreation has become our misfortune. The shards of ice keep clipping the veil that blocks the sun learn to suffer, you will learn to suffer.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 36 fans who also own “Samsara”

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire
