Tell me how – we can feel an urge to live despite how arbitrary all life is?
Tell me why – we take the time to put meaning into all of our useless actions?
Tell me how – we can lose a life to an accident; a whim of meaninglessness?
Tell me why – we try to find a reason behind all the loss that lay as our living bedrock?
Death in life
Life in loss
Death is life
Life is loss
Tell me how – I’m to understand the guilt when I survive those close to me?
Tell me why – I should feel so meaningful when death sits ready to strike at anytime?
Make me see the reason for keeping up this struggle
Show me exactly why I’m to accept and bear the loss
Force me find a light between these cracks and fissures
Give me the power to unburden the weight of it all
II.
I can feel the presence of death at all times
Lurking, peeking, beleaguering all life
Action can only take us so far
Before succumbing to cessation
Within our home we die alone
It stalks us each as predator
Never sleeping, always hungry
Unseen ending, waiting monster
Pale intruder, negating precaution
Springing forth from the depths of being
The cogs of life spin without heed
To what we have or wish to accomplish
So much to lose despite all our gain
To merely have death wipe us from ourselves
III.
Memory holds strong within me
History binds life temporally

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
Mind-flaying brutal technical death metal that will pulverize you to smithereens while its complex structures stun your cerebral cortex. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2022

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
