lyrics

Were you surprised by the invisible horrors made manifest? Shocked by what lurked beneath? Buried under silent resentment, now raised up from the dead: the hate. The greed. The cynicism. The rage.

Our citadels are built on graves. Our history inked on flayed flesh. And our engines, those engines of sempiternal despair, they perpetually run on blood and petrol. Those twin mercurial gods, demanding worship with quiescent ignorance. Like so many jealous gods, they command us never to speak their names, just marvel at their mysterious workings, even as we quietly pray for their blessings, the miracles they provide.

So don't feign shock when the thousands of daily brutalities that make our gears turn can no longer be hidden from our view. Rather, tear down the gods, the idols we have built, who demanded that we worship them with silent complicity.

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)

Lined in Silver
by BREATHS

supported by 20 fans who also own “XXIV”

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
