The Thick Gloss

ascend from this ray of shallowness
bold and seamless - burn or lighten up
just different enough to feel ok
in this cosy box, separated from the flock
i've listened you dry like all my favorite songs before - got another?
i shared with you what wasn't mine
all thoughts transpired - smell my mind
i shared with you what wasn't mine
all thoughts expired - got another?

Hikikomori

|
|||
|
i confess to the world with the heavy curtains drawn
isolation versus solitude, bleached out and solarized
so much bigger than all i've seen, yet left with empty hands
and a soul fertilized - how to ease my stubborn head?
i see your head up there - surrounded by clouds and blizzards
still embracing deception with a open heart
when will i allow myself to be understood
get out the crowbar, precious
crawl back in, crawl back in, crawl back in
let me crawl back in

Steelbath
03:56
|
|||
|
each second of silence increases the weight
of the unspoken word - condemned to repeat
so how's life in the cookie-jar?
create and adjust the urge to avoid reflection - try to defeat
staged tragedy to trigger my corrupted mind
compassion burned out, now who's the stooge?
keep you busy and well entertained
reveal your hope-dealers
abort headbirth to conspiracy
chocking on the forcefed truth
can't remember (when i left) first-person mode
gone through my hands / just how deep will you take the knife
so countless / move in frames think in frames
inhale and eat / will you fix the broken steelyard
sweat and bleed / can you break and read the stresscode
reveal and dodge / to untwist your self-esteem
the hard-drawn lines / refuse to bathe in corroded steel
the breaking light / did i really come here blank?
might shape the truth / or is it running all through me?

Aftermath
04:26
|
|||
|
welcome to the annual half-hour of truth
peeling through all layers of skin
home is where i forgot my head
insight is allways around the bend - allways
i felt that gentle stroke of abdication
i've gone with every train that left this town
this time i'll make it smooth for me
watch me do the last cheap stunt
allow yourself to be the first to know
when it's over
allow yourself to be the first to know
when it's done

Black Spot
04:25
|
|||
|
must i bruise my knuckles, just to assure i can feel the pain?
stir up my dark corner, get me screening the bloodspill
shivering, seething and bellyaching
can't turn down my promise
won't lower the threshold for an unreflected cause
keep the lid on the black hole
challenge my rage, twist me faster than the speed of thought
drag patience out into the dark and leave it slayed and cold
come on flash the blade and watch them run faster, further
someone bless your forsaken soul - cause i never would, never could

Pendulum
03:17
|
|||
|
the machines we built are heading straight back
return to sender - hell is up here
his helmet is fused to his head
hit by the one he aimed
his hands are pieces of meat
he's facing up with his purpose - won't give in
burn the flag as i am born
my sorrow's not for sale
perception left so low and torn
image and word proof to fail

Hand In Mouth
02:27
|
|||
|
nothing disappears until you try to grab
squeeze it, squeeze and spill it out
i refuse to complete this circle
to link this corrupted chain
tell me, how does it taste
this meal of a hundred hearts
ride this newfound alliance
and bury your skills
hard to find an inch to breathe
in this stench of melting wings
try to comprehend
with an elephants' mind
is it worth a thought
struggle on hand in mouth
joy and simplicity
is the promise unkept

Cutting Trees
06:16
|
|||
|
how can you debscribe my life
why don't you tell me to live
just holding me like a thief
hold me like i never asked for
hold me like i tried to ask for
don't you know that i am me
how can you turn me into you
how can you know what is true
nails, over and over from you
the garden's end is not the door
you do the same as they., but to me
steal love, but it's not a change to me
the words are griefing me
what do you really feel for me
don't you know that i am me
the badness is not in me
i just want to feel my way to be
let the bird fly free

Blend In / Load Off
04:52
|
|||
|
heft your burden for weight
blend in and load off
hand me your brick and your stone
we've got a parachute made of skin
such vage desperation on display
bouncing off the wall
my sanity serves you well
no sir the pleasure is mine
licking sore feet from chasing the sun
what will it take to shake your grounds
ten whips and a fist across your skull
make these demons become your blade
blend in
load off
blend in
load off

Unhold Bern, Switzerland
Unhold thrives on dynamics, the alternation of emotions and the variety in their artistic choices of instrumentation, putting a wealth of thought, energy and work into making emotionally complex creations, which only start to reveal themselves after several listens. Hope, anger and agony generate a space and a sonic architecture which bears witness to a conscious existence and vigorous force. ... more

Avec Muladona, RORCAL explore un territoire qui avait été laissé en friche depuis le Urfe de An Axis of Peridtion, avec un concept album de black metal évoluant autour d'un récit horrifique et qui a le droit à un narrateur — sauf que RORCAL est encore plus anxiogène en trois fois moins de temps. Muladona est un monstre hybride de post-black metal galopant prêt à vous écraser les tympans dirigé par une voix détachée, traumatisée — celle de l'auteur de Muladona lui-même. Une rencontre paranormale.

The atmosphere on this record is amazing dark and beautiful almost spiritual at some points and crushing at others every song gave me goosebumps at some point
