Behold!
The imminent wasteland stretches out before you!
Dead earth entombed in a mausoleum of steel, concrete, and glass.
For what are our cities but inevitable ruins to remind future generations of the naked contempt that we held them in, as if to whisper across time “oh, foolish children! How naive of you expect to be left anything but decimated wreckage, barren soil, and genocidal air!”
And they will forage through an ocean of endless refuse, like a shroud over the atrophied earth, a moribund monument to venerate our cavalier disdain for the very air that we scornfully breathe.
For we have cursed them to be born in the shadow of our decay. We have condemned them to endless confinement in the prison of our profligacy.
An excellent find and a wonderful addition to the melodeath/doom of the world. We can never have enough music of this quality. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
Weirdly, BREATHS reminds me of Silverstein or maybe Emery, at their best, taking and elevating a genre that I have a huge amount of nostalgia for into something really excellent. An absolute banger. 𝚡̲adaa
