The sixth consecutive megacitadel finally lost its power today. Each one displacing thousands on the streets— inhabiting spaces of null capacities. You said, “at night, the necro cops clean up the city of the filth and clangor.”
Enfolded inside my flesh is a seed that keeps oscillating on and on: a subdermal matryoshka. Trappings that can’t be outrun; I’m never safe, I’m ever-seen. If things are ever fair, then I am entitled to meet my tormentor. With this, I’m certain that hell is just a more comforting notion to me.
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
