Insects are as complex
As feeding, sex and conquest
Are we really any different?
Just with guilt and larger assets
The process through which mortals strive
To stretch beyond their tiny lives
Is equal whether human need
Or the buzzing of so many flies
Nephila, alien perfection
Solve our aimless struggle with simple death
No ritual
No kindness
No guilt
No mess
Receive their genes
Remove their heads
To never face rejection
To never fear regret
To never have to navigate the ugly, cruel politics of sex
Propagate the species
Sacrifice your head
From the jaws of mercy
Comes a bloodless death
Nephila
Repulsion and attraction
So distant in abstraction
But in the simple spider mind
Separate by fractions
Embedded in an impulse that would overthrow our selfishness
Survival of the genes is the only true success
Is it instinct that makes us preserve our lives?
Where in the best case we'll grow old enough
To see our best friend die
Before we to fall into the never after
Why linger once you've heard the devil's laughter?
To never face rejection
To never fear regret
To never have to navigate the ugly, cruel politics of sex
Propagate the species
Sacrifice your head
From the jaws of mercy
Comes a bloodless death
Nephila
We used to think that love belonged in the stars
A perfect line to god that was distinctly ours
We were wrong
Beauty has a brutal price
It causes you to never abandon your life
It never seems enough out of reach
Glamour is the death of reason
Today or tomorrow
Sickness and decay will come to those you love
They never face rejection
They never fear regret
They just make little spiders to escape the tread of death
They propagate the species
They have no politics
You will wish for jaws of mercy
You will wish for bloodless death
Nephila
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
