lyrics

A pestiferous lesion endlessly draining
as mouths open and close.
Its runoff nourishes
this world, devoid of reason.

Imbibing toxicity,
the bile sustains.

Wagging tongues drip with desperation,
as they attempt to form words of absolution
Hymns of feckless cowards.
The bile sustains.
The bile sustains my indignation.

The abscess is drained.
Its venomous nectar
has found its new home within me.
The bile sustains

Tiring fatalism
consumes all that surrounds me.

The illusory skein unravels
though they choose not to see.
I resist the urge to give in,
but I am too weak

The abscess is drained.
Its venomous nectar
has found its new home.
Within me, the bile is sustained.

An incessant drone
compels me towards contempt.

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 27 fans who also own “Contempt”

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire

Interdimensional Invocations

i checked out bands coming to my town, and xoth were on the list. at first i thought they were cheesy since i only liked metal to be deep, dark, and atmospheric . i did enjoy the technical complexity, so i gave them another chance. i equated shredding with jockishness (ugh), but i now see it as a creative choice. i just had to approach it on my own terms, and xoth was the perfect gateway for this. they really opened up a new world for me. quasiotter
