I am the messiah of damnation,
Though unbeknownst to all,
I tear apart this paradigm,
Deconstructing these fabricated standards,
Replacing them with ruination,
The darkness emanating from your heart,
And the moral decay on society’s part,
Fuel the divine wrath wrought upon
The wandering souls on this hunk of rock,
The war, the death, you know too well,
Pales in comparison to the hell,
Soon to engulf the known world,
The destruction of the outer shell,
Warrants the entities that plague your dreams,
To rip apart these fraying seams,
Salvation is lost,
Dissipated by the burnt crimson skies,
Suspending the progression of animation,
Your condemnation is inevitable,
My very breath decays,
The flesh that is your mortal coil,
This stagnation betrays,
To the world,
My now known presence;
A convolution of utter repression,
Crashing down; a constant suppression,
The final moments of a dying existence,
Shepherding the herd to a final denouement,
I am the Apostle of your destruction (your destruction),
I am the sin that’s brought you to this,
(I am the Apostle of your destruction),
(I am the sin that’s brought you to this),
As I indulge gluttonously,
On the fear that fuels your hate,
Your damnation has long been sealed,
You will perish in the arms of ignorance,
There will be no reprieve,
Only sorrow and castigation,
Cast upon thy greed fuelled race,
Retribution; your sole liberation,
On these walls I scrawl;
The verses guide the masses,
To an anguish felt eternal,
In the fires of your demise,
I am the Apostle of your destruction (your destruction),
I am the sin that’s brought you to this,
I am the Apostle of your destruction,
I am the sin that’s brought you to this.

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

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
