lyrics

I am paralyzed by a sensation,
a cacophonous drone that eternally echoes,
spewing gloom and malice.
Capricious in its nature, I turn inward
delving into an introspective stupor.
I should not waste my time and breath
contemplating the inadequacies of
a frail human form.

A contemptuous manifestation,
an insignificant apparition.
My eyes ache as I force them
open to see, to see the light.
Consumed by inescapable dread.
I feel cold.
I feel cold.
I am drowning.

Lies pour forth through gritted teeth,
crying “One. One more day.”
In lucid dreams, I hear voices beckoning me,
“One more day.”
Lies pour forth through gritted teeth,
They cry out to me “One more. One more day.”
In lucid dreams, I hear the voices,
they’re beckoning me.
“One more day.”

The night is deep and I am drowning.
in an infinite sea of nothingness.
A man's spirit dies, the body falls.
In death, his soul is free to roam.

Never to be found, he walks freely.
Never to be found, he walks freely.
In silent indignation, I whisper in repeat;
Respite shall never come.
Respite shall never come.
I see nothing.
I hear nothing.
I feel nothing.
I am nothing.

Lies pour forth through gritted teeth;
Crying “One more. One more day.”
In lucid dreams, I hear voices beckoning me;
“One more. One more day”

A contemptuous manifestation,
an insignificant apparition
My eyes ache as I force them
open to see (to see) the light
Consumed by inescapable dread,
I feel cold.
I feel cold.
I feel cold.
I am naught.

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 27 fans who also own “Respite”

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
