lyrics
Shattering the Sphere of Accordance
For eons,
preserved by eternal slumber,
in a realm of paling suns.
Unfathomed reflections of eras to come,
were brought into being.
By the quenchless proclivitites
of sightless inquisitors, grasping for solace.
The incessant search, nonsensical ventures,
brings nothing but misery.
Insolence, prideful deception.
A mutilated speculum.
The nameless shall gouge thine prying eyes.
Forsake your hollow pursual.
Marked by the Void.
Tribute of Repulsion.
Truth is Unseen.
Creation from Death.
Like leeches and parasites,
these devious ideations cling to their hosts.
Corruption pervading their minds,
taking the shape of ambition.
The road is paved with sin and impurity.
From the Abyss, whispers of splendor and glory.
Few can withstand the primal command of reaching through the Veil.
Failing to realize
only torment awaits for those who shatter the Sphere of Accordance.
Crawling through the fields of waste.
In hopes of chancing upon fragments of days gone by .
Devoured by fervent self-condemnation.
In a ceaseless internal crusade.
Blinded, paralyzed.
Unavailingly wrangling with ruin.
Falter, mark of prey.
The scent of blood in the wind,
has swayed the archaic hunter.
Pact of Deceit.
Banished from the Light.
River of Lust.
Surge of Blight.
Like leeches and parasites,
these devious ideations cling to their hosts.
Corruption pervading their minds
taking the shape of ambition.
The road is paved with sin and impurity.
From the Abyss, whispers of splendor and glory.
Few can withstand the primal command of reaching through the Veil.
Failing to realize
Only torment awaits for those who shatter the Sphere of Accordance.
Only torment awaits for those who shatter the Sphere of Accordance.

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly engaging. I'm listening to this and looking out the window at snow falling -what could be more perfect?
An incredible record; highly recommended. It's truly beautiful, and that's not a word I often use for metal, but this is powerful stuff. somethingsomething9

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.
