lyrics

draw my blood or breath or both
i have nothing else to offer you
let’s cling to this and pray we don’t tip over
make believe fine honing
to perfection
sharpening the blade until
there is nothing
left
is love but an instrument of survival?
a path to absolution
in such a cold, cold world?
a prism refracting
rays of self-loathing?
a shield upon which
fire and sulphur may rain?
war weary we stride on
through the mud
and pitch-black rivers of fear
we shall fight back
but we will not win
and when the dust settles
break the skin
and look within
this is as deep as you will
get with me

Incredible sound, ideas. It´s a masterpiece. settlingmedal

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 27 fans who also own “Sharpening The Blade”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

When it comes to the "atmosphere" in "atmospheric black metal", this release probably succeeds the most in making me feel like i exist within this universe of music. domfabio
