What’s reserved for us?
A lead of uncertainty
What’s secure for us?
An unseen cage of hypocrisy
Shatter your body trying to reach the top of this mountain
In the end the trophy is a view over your own self-defeat
the infinite pestilent cycle of doubt
Blindfolded by toxic amenities
We deceive ourselves, deceiving all principles
Corrupted by false hopes
Ensnared by despair
Murky seeds grow in our minds
Voices screaming inside
Sometimes we’re strained by parasites
With no prospect of future
And no prospect of life
Stand tall and overcome the suffer
Learn from the pain
To sever the chains
What can we do?
Slay the beast of anxiety
What can we get?
A world of misery
Stick together with yourself
Survive the grip of this winter
Stick together with your mind
Grab tight to your resistance

I now understand the meaning of this life
Step out of the rain, to ease the pain
Contemplating a transformation,
A turn away from false adulation
Once an awry voice guided me
With rapture and erroneous words
A heavy burden was inflicted
And reality burned my inside,
Deceit corroded my heart
I prevail… I endure
Cruel hand… Cruel soul
No one watched over
No one cared about
Alone I felt, alone I rose
I try to forget what I’lll never forgive
A sad scenario of abuse
Dark intents came to surface
Today I speak honestly
About a feeling few will understand
And you don’t understand…
Few will understand

INTERIM

Surrounded by wolves
Body soaked in blood
Sense the vanish
Your own darkness is ruthless
A door never to be opened
Carried and dragged down in the deep
Into an everlasting loss
Igniting an old fear
An uncontrolled flame
That unveils your weakness
A fatal error that unveils your wounds
Under the observant eye
Living a life of whispers
Compressed chest… feel the pressure
There’s something aching inside
Something you can’t expel
In times of unwind we punish ourselves
Hell isn’t yet forgotten
You bleed alone
You fall alone

I turn away once again
Exhausted of parasitic entities
The principle of control
Minds that kill your peace
Lack of care and concern
There is no room for respite
Prophets of the disavowal
Keepers of dishonour
Harvesters of denial
Vultures of a dying hope
Be responsible for all your acts
When you seek a chasm, the chasm will seek you
There’s always a consequence
Intrinsical to all human condition
Foretellers of dys
People that live caged in misery
Oppression support their lives
Oppression support their goals
They can’t stand integrity
They feed on ignominy
A cyclic blind leading the blind
Protect yourself from this dirt
The real evil inhabit the weak

RAPTORIAL

Something was lurking inside
A perpetrator of impairment
A survival trigger
A fight-or-flight response
No cause for self-harm
No cause for tribulation
No cause for wounds
No cause for inner-predation
Try to keep it together
Don’t let fear torn you apart
Try to kept it together
Free the mind
Unearth deliverance
Accept this lesson in distress
Realize the causes and strike
Try to keep it together!
Together!
Inner power will absorb torment
Bury the axe; let your memories go away
There’s a past with no present or future
Let them be buried within
Let them be locked in captivity

ABACINATION

Scale this mountain
Clear your mind
Attain the conquest
Be the source that lighten the murk
I look forward to uncover the answers
An invitation of regret
That led me into agony
Scale this stairway
Clear your spirit
I look forward to uncover the answers
No balance in between senses
Try to focus the mind
Under chaotic conditions
Step through this inner path
I am dormant in the black
Blinded by the past
Unsettled doubt of the future
Blinded by concern
Fear of being left to rot
Defenceless, powerless mind overfed
Frantically screaming inside
Nightmares succumb reality
There’s no turning back
Grasp to the meaning
Never lose your nature
Never lose your heart

WATCHFUL
05:06
|
|||
|
I collect the spoils,
Like fragments of gold,
To ease my reality
Watched by this unconscious menace
A ferocious shadow that scans my life
Surrounded by hurt, waiting within black hours
A continuous misery that always grasp
The ceaseless fever that always triumph
A parallel reality so hard to distinguish
Somehow undeciphered, somehow disconnected
There's no return from the path of desolation
Severed mind
Loss of soul
Triumph and disaster
Blind to no avail
Inner mutiny devours and your self-mirror shatters
Cascades of hidden traumas
Omnidirectional negativity
Severed mind
Loss of soul
Triumph and disaster
Blind to no avail
Awareness alters, equilibrium loss
Disguised solitude in a veil of bliss
The damage only reflects inside
Defense mechanisms are sharp as blades
Drowning in an endless sea of sores
Severed tongue to mute the pain
Powerless to fight the nature of events
WATCHFUL…

BELLICOSE
05:14

Obedience suffocates us,
We re-evaluate all values,
Like grains of dust
We are integuments of filth
Gazing a dead sky
Struggling to survive
We are slaves to the unknown
A complex anomaly within time
The coldness of the absolute
Brings cruel ways to balance
A somber inception kills reason
Worthless souls scream
Uncontrolled delusions of grandeur
Hidden devices of extinction
Unleash voracity
The coldness of the absolute
Brings cruel ways to balance
No possessions, just illusions
Born to serve the higher cause
Paralysis in our minds
Foolish flesh without soul

IMPENITENT
04:36
|

|
You’ll never exist, you’ll never subsist
Fear was aligned to all the screams that burst from the inside
Sanity drained silently
You can’t fill up the cracks
You just fell inverted
They meant to erase
Abolished from your principles
Undeciphered faces
Visions... blind and blurred
Stagnant and spitefully
Unbound from the unbearable
The echoes of despondency
Starving for life, searching equality
Ferocious shadows everywhere
Eroded from bliss
Abolished from your principles
Undeciphered faces
Visions... blind and blurred
Stagnant and spitefully
Unbound from the unbearable
Appeal to pain, invoke cure
Clean yourself from this deranged vibration

ACUITY
03:19
|
|||
|
Mind and body once chastised
Flourish and absorb morale
Gratitude is no obsession
Permit your contentment
Interrupt the program to oblige
Interrupt all noxious thoughts
Acuity
Self-disapproval consumes like vermin
Unrestricted to commence a new course
You just want to recover your principles
You just want to recover your dominion
Save yourself regardless of your choices
Supremacy of mind over flesh
Impaired spirits attracted to your light
A solid soul tames the shadow
Breath of truth

KNEEL Portalegre District, Portugal
KNEEL is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Pedro Mau, former member of Wells Valley.
Containing
elements of thrash, technical death, math metal and hardcore, KNEEL's genre-defying compositions can be characterized by the use of dynamic guitar riffs, dissonant chords, aggressive paces, harsh vocals, loud and challenging song structures with no formulas, no lame choruses or catchy tunes.

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

What an absolute SLAB of fresh and nuanced death. Straight up vision quest with each spin.

I'll admit I kinda wrote this off as just another modern brutal death metal album when it came out, but upon revisiting it I was happy to discover I was quite wrong. This band have, with this release, hit upon a brilliant blend of atmosphere and brutality that surprised me with every new song. Hopefully this is the record that gets them some more exposure, as they deserve it.

One of my new favorite groups. /Hope and its lyrics (particularly near the end) made me misty eyed.
