Abyssal hours of morning
The rising sound of crawling
The stirring of the vermin
That nest within the neurons
No pity or warning
No hunger, but boredom
They begin a ceaseless gnawing
Sprawling through my organs
Take me
Cousin of death
Graveyard of failure, in daylight at rest
But now I hear them clicking in my dark neurotic depths
And the whole wide world beneath you
Seems a vaunted ugly mess
Eaten from the inside ’til there's only one thing left
They feed, it grows
I gaze at the unknown
Stare into the abyss, the abyss stares also
Subtle crawlers spin their webs in the space between my bones Rejection
Ageing
Failure
Poverty
Impotence
Dying alone
Monomania
Frankenstein's monster
Permanent pariah
A crumbling facade that stole the life of its creator
Born deformed then spurned
There was no evil in the creature
All behaviour is learned
Take me
Cousin of death
I do not pray for sleep
But to suffer less
Graveyard of failure, in daylight at rest
But now I hear them clicking in my dark neurotic depths
And the whole wide world beneath you
Seems a vaunted ugly mess
Eaten from the inside ’til there's only one thing left
They feed, it grows
I gaze at the unknown
Stare into the abyss, the abyss stares also
Subtle crawlers spin their webs in the space between my bones
Rejection
Ageing
Failure
Poverty
Impotence
Dying alone
Obsess, obsess
They're squirming in your chest
Feeding on the parts that you most fucking detest
Gorged and swollen by your inner ugliness
But for all your complication, you’re a simple piece of flesh
My skin is loose and falling
My hair is frayed and dead
Like the moulted skin of Gorgon snakes
Coiled loose around my head
This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt. meeko
Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
