lyrics

Despite medical miracles they were more ill, more pills, foreclosed happiness mills. Drip fed
benzo dreams, milk of human kindness, a sedative narrative, a story of glorified, categorised,
corporate bodies; man, woman, freedom machine, entropic entrepreneurs, hard-working
gym-junky job-hunting gods under duress for success. There's no shelter at home, there's no life
left alone. So the hidden thing remained hidden, pawing at the bone cage within like a padded
cell wall of inanimate matter: corporeal capital to be manipulated, managed while inside the
patient watches, patiently abiding. Committed by a sick committee, psychologically violent manic
tyrants confine it to solitude, silence, inner wandering - a wise and wild unknowing underling
watching while they hold it down, watching while they drown it in denial. Erase it, reform it, fear
and revile but still it refuses to die, and they could feel it watching with unclouded eyes. So they
bound the feet of clouds and the sky limped by on broken feet, and it rained down bits of every
lie; they washed their face pieces of their unkind smile. Now there's no place left to fill 'cus the
crucible has spilled. And it seemed like they were never gonna get beyond it. Never further,
never deeper, never anymore complete; and they feared the thought that they weren't in the
centre of it anymore. So they fled to sleep and the money held them down. They had to sleep
with the money, their dreams went ha-ha.

This album oozes with atmosphere and darkness that's great to listen to especially under grey skies! It's full of brilliant riffs and instrumental sections with very fitting and solid vocals that compliment everything I've mentioned This is a top release and a prime slab of Post-Metal excellence!

Awesome psychedelic sludgy metal with some post-metal influences that build and morph often enough to stay fresh throughout each of the lengthy runtimes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for some psych-tinged sludgy goodness! Colin M.
