lyrics

These dark waters so clear
So defined in my mind
Pulling deeper within
Haunting and driving mad
Unwanted but still here
All attempts are futile
Ebbing never flowing
Gaining in strength whenever opposed

Compulsively resisting these waves
Ritually defying treachery
Fight it back or lose control
Cycling out into absurdity
Negatively reinforcing pain
Reluctantly steer further in

In faint whispers and screams
This obsession rules me
Avoid, compulse, cry out
My voice but not my words
Built up walls and blockades
Knocked down by the tide
Infection just festers
Can’t cut it out or keep it in

Compulsively resisting these waves
Ritually defying treachery
Fight it back or lose control
Cycling out into absurdity
Negatively reinforcing pain
Reluctantly steer further in
To this place I do not know
Desperate to do anything
To find the shores of sanity

Ready to capsize and
Belong only to these waves
Blech

Hidden just below the surface
A flood of twisted urges
Constantly threatens to leak out
Unless consistently bailed
All of this weight creates such pressure
One of these days I’ll snap
Without much left to hold onto
This current will surely sweep me away

A Monument to Silence
by Alustrium

supported by 151 fans who also own “Dark Waters”

This is probably the most melodic Death Metal album I've ever heard. Not really in the Melo-Death sense tho. It follows more progressive and technical flavors with its riffs and leads. But the riffs are often big and memorable as well as the solo's. There is just as much melody and bending as any shred therein. One of the most memorable Death Metal albums of all time! They've crafted all the parts in equal measure for a complete and exciting Metal work. Salami Dick Death

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
