In the essence of the fire
I'm realizing that this is life now
I've tried so hard to keep this
Of feeling sane, mind and body
I tried so hard to keep the demons
The fallen society
The downfall of you and me
In the white halls, we are searching
I am what I am
Behold my future
I've tried to wake up
And still we're sleeping now
I am what I am
Behold my future
I've tried to wake up
But life ain't easy
In the presence of the higher
The mesmerizing colors
I've tried so hard to find the healing
Being sane, tired body
I tried so hard to keep the demons in me
Are you me?
I am what I am
Behold my future
I've tried to wake up
And still we're sleeping now
I am what I am
Behold my future
I've tried to wake up
But life ain't easy
The things aren't what they used to be
Are all the things the same?
Are we in this dream or day?
Am I just supposed to be me?
Go!
Silence
No asking questions
No more journeys
The pills are for sleeping
This is what you'll need
You're dreaming
Not knowing where you're at
Where you'll be
In ten, twenty, fifty years
The white robe ideal
Go!
Death is certain
Nothing else more can be
No light in the tunnels of this force spinning wheel
Fake it, make it, drown yourself to be free
The white robe ideal
The only thing you'll need
Death is certain
Nothing else more can be
No light in the tunnels of this force spinning wheel
First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
Scalding lo-fi metal from RodtGod that puts a premium on immediacy and brutality, with terrifically bracing results. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 12, 2022
I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on.
10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come. Magnus Blackwood
