Descent

Complacent constructs engulf the landscape
As minds are numbed beyond repair
Gazing at the mirror as it cracks
Screaming at the carcass as it snaps
Conflicted visions impairing thought procession
Search for colour amongst this blackened cognisance
A picture painted with stark desperation
While strangled by the arms of the abyss
Cast aside remnants of past philosophy
Left with little but opposing values
What is one to do?
Shivering in perturbation
Beset by puzzlement
Perplexed in wonder of abatement in time
Tones of conviction projected
Laying in wait for a chance to respond
Thoughts of resilience still clinging
Manifestation of contention begins
In an instant freedom reigns
Waning chaos
Manifestation of contention begins
In an instant freedom reigns
Yearning order
Counting days
Feeling dread return
Endless waves
For one to discern
Quandary Follows
Expression’s devoid
Lost in the Helpless conjecture
The division is deafening
Forever questioning values
Empty conclusions are found
Writhing hatred
Testing of faith
Lacking in patience
Futile, bewildering

Collapse
05:25
|
|||
|
Conflicting ideals ripple throughout the framework
Disturbance
Disorder
Engaging ataxia
Misanthropic cataclysm
Morality redefined
Nothing has meaning
No ideal has weight
Being part of this façade, I can no longer take
Inspecting nature in its essence has yielded fruitless results
There is not one once of potential substance
The silence of being echoes in the winds of despair
Cave into detachment, just like everything else
Yet still tortured by the obligation of meaning
The tension was always meant to break
Destruction of self
The only option
This is a cycle not ever meant to end
Your mind is withered
Your body is starved
Embroiled in self loathing
For feeling a thing
Devoid of motion
This construct is stagnant
We are contrived to this baseless notion
Yet still tortured by the obligation of meaning
The tension was always meant to break
Destruction of self
The only option
This is a cycle not ever meant to end
Collapse under your own weight
Our downward spiral will perpetuate
Crumbling resolve so apparent
Birthing forth dissolution
Forsake forbearance and surrender control
Belligerent throes becoming absolute
Reject all order
Reflection was in vain
Consumed by carnage malevolence shall reign
Engulfed in anguish I will not refrain
Insight the system obstructing all method
Instil imbalance in this realm without meaning

Valley Of The Ghelgath should say it all. Listen to it and nothing else needs to be said.

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10

All tech, no wankery. Enigma scythes through riff after riff in a techy, slightly disheveled manner; incorporating eclectic little interludes and Necrophagist quality leads. I highly recommend you invest in this little Silicon Valley tech startup ASAP.
