Kind of weird for people to be saying they like this, but not metal in general. It's pretty extreme to the point that if you can get into this, you should theoretically be able to get into others. Every rising metal fan needs a gateway band or two to open their eyes to everything the genre has to offer.

@BlueRaven893

Yes, my thoughts as well. It is a bit strange that non-metal fans like this. This is apart of extreme metal. It's intense, very fast and vicious, something you would think would push away non-metallers. It's nice to know this is a gateway band, though, to bring in new listeners.

@And Violate If you're referring to me, then, no. I think they are fully capable of understanding it. They may choose not to. As for in the moment? I don't honestly care if they don't understand it or can read into it's meanings. It's most likely because I don't find it hard to figure out things like music.

@And Violate this actually isn't in my top or anything, I can't really claim to understand it in a profound way. I'm mostly just shocked that some non-metal listeners heard this, and it stuck for them. 10 years ago if someone who didn't like metal heard a band they'd end up enjoying, it would be a nu-metal or metalcore band with a lot of verse/chorus/verse structures and clean singing.

I can probably speak for them. I listen to various metal acts, but I'm by no means a "metalhead". I'm superrrr picky with metal. This album is much more melodic than most other metal albums, but less hyperfocused on Melody and less "cheesy" then most "melodic metal" bands. The best way I can describe this band is "musician's" or "music fanatic's" metal, if that makes sense.

@rapmetaldemon09

@@eingyi2500 I see what you're getting at. It's almost technical melodeath in a way. Super progressive and technical, but just melodic enough to stand out from the crowd of various death metal bands trying be the heaviest, and most brutal. All the while avoiding being so melodic it contradicts the idea of death metal. Where casual music listeners can easily grasp the idea of bands like Soilwork and In flames, critical listening non-metalheads may still prefer something as tasteful as this.

Emptiness Ensconce me In a bible black sigh Absorb my tribute My abject need Robed in flesh Assuage my malaise, my lust to create With displays of teeth, devour me To extract my being I trade blood for ink Vivisection complete Commit me to memory I'll be a frail utterance cutting deep Bones eroded, shaped into effigy Make me a siren's song Make me a monument to suffering Face to the pavement Wrest me free Will you place me upon the altar? A thirst for permanence? An ego to sate? Envy's firm grasp? Commit me to memory Commit me Amongst settled dust I breathe aromas of midnight Sense the marrow's gentle pulse I'm free Then a tickling in the throat An ache wells from within Vessels Constrict I'm in the grip of angst again Free me
