ARTERIES - Year of the Snake, This Will Destroy Us.
lyrics
To stand the test of time we all walk a line.
Take it from me that the worst is yet to come.
There's no embrace no love from hands drenched in blood. Take it from me. Give in to paranoia, make friends with hate.
No voice of reason, a stranger in my own skin.
Go take the test and say goodbye to all you know.
Pallbearer, how do you bear the weight?
Those who suffer have paved the way.
For unknown foolish reasons you wear this blindfold smothering your view. Will you play a part, hands of treason?
We’ve come too far to let it fall apart, slipping away.
This is not the first sign this is not make believe.
We drift away, separate lives, searching for more.
We sit on numb hands broken, waiting for change to come.
Everything will fall apart, take it from me we’re falling apart.

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
