Truth is
He never really leaves you
Subtle signs slip ups that let you know he is still on your trail
Hunting you down
Making you work for the things that should be natural
He fucking knows he is wearing you down
He can see it from the lifeless eyes
Making you wish he would just end it
Dragging every piece of you away
So that you are left with something you don’t recognize
Everything you stood for is out the window
All of your morals have slowly faded away and you are reeling just to get everything back
It takes a strong will to obtain what he stole from you
It's not over yet
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson
