I believe it
The totem figure speaks the truth, I see it
I bow to whispers
The legs and arms are numb and now I feel it
The wall's falling, the mind is opening, and now I see it
The red face paint, so much is happening and now I see it
I believe that I'll die, but in the same dream I'm flying
I believe that I saw something none of us shouldn't
Carvings, left from old dreamers
Left in the
Carvings, left from old dreamers
I'm lost in the dream
I can see it
The floating colors speak the truth, I feel it
Allow the whispers
To let you swim in oceans deep and freely
The tone's changing, the void's opening and I can see it
The red face paint, the shaman's smile deceives me now, I see it
I believe that I'm done, but in the same dream I'm choking
I believe that I saw something none of us shouldn't
Carvings, left from old dreamers
Left in the
Carvings, left from old dreamers
Left in the
Carvings, left from old dreamers
Left in the
Carvings, left from old dreamers
I'm lost in the dream
Taking travelers through jungles of their own
Sunset is all far gone, but moonlight
Shows them
Taking some of them, dancing with ghosts to drums
Drink up and let your soul out, open
Open now
They say the dead are coming home
I saw horrors roaming free in jungle
Stuck in terror, shamans locker
I saw creatures carve my name on totems
Stuck in dreams outside of myself
Carvings, left from old dreamers
Left in the
Carvings, left from old dreamers
I'm lost in the dream

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
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
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
Scalding lo-fi metal from RodtGod that puts a premium on immediacy and brutality, with terrifically bracing results. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 12, 2022
This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear
