lyrics

It all happened so suddenly
I was floating backwards through a black tunnel of nothingness
I, but a speck of pure awareness (in a lost and dismal over world)

I felt myself being pulled into hyperspace, by a pod of souls

Solar beacons streamed from my fingertips
Ultraviolet light dripping from my mouth
My existence, one of the stars

The ethereal vista I found myself in was overwhelmingly fascinating

It was seemingly an altered dimension, one of indescribable complexity
For even the air around me was visible, like some sort of super intelligent message
And orbs of brilliant light continuously cascaded down from the sky
The experience was somewhat catastrophic

For I soon realized it wasn't simply a trance, but maybe I'd crossed over into the afterlife

I accepted the fact, that whether I was dead or alive - this was still consciousness
Perhaps in a dark realm of sentient existence

One that felt eerily divine
As if this celestial benediction was but a hoax
Regardless, I was a supreme being there

Where streams of uninhibited imagination were ushered by my will
Like a deity conjuring its throne in limbo

One of undeniable proportions that would leave me condemned, to oblivion
Then insurmountable fury began to burn
Throughout my soul

Of Rot and Ruin
by Hath

supported by 30 fans who also own “God Narcotic”

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

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
