ARTERIES - Against the Grain, This Will Destroy Us. (Re-release)
lyrics
Pale horse do you haunt them? Do you feel ashamed while your pushing against the grain? Now the tide is high the shore seems miles away.
Lets duplicate its all we know, until the end of the world that we know.
We have left our lives in the hands of the process.
Why do you need assurances when this is all you become?
You need assurances, it’s all you know.
Give in to you, I can’t give into you. It’s all you know.
You never get to have it your way. Now that you have figured out what goes on in my brain it will take years for us to admit what went wrong, so wrong. Where do we go from here?
Cut the hand off at the wrist and give your life some meaning.
Pale horse, got you pushing against the grain.
Let me ride upon your back, as far as the eye can take me.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
