lyrics

Fear creeps through every inch of my body
Telling me without a doubt that something’s not right
A liar, a falsehood, a trick, sleight of hand
I’ve been fooled before, won’t be fooled again

Misinformation being spread like a plague
Breathed one mouth to another, poisoning the herd
With each new infection hysteria grows
Vigilant to the faintest hint of dissent

With defiant and unearned righteousness
I’ll disarm your argument and frustrate you endlessly
There’s no need to justify that which I know
I’ll use any means to get to my end

Reject the unenlightened
Separate, block off, segregate, quarantine
Slow the rate, the loss of our values
Identify and amputate intolerable truth
Draw the blinds on blinding light
Manufactured relief, easy to believe
Beckon, lure in, and overcome with passion

In clever little phrases we’ll conjure the end
Burying ourselves in a mountain of enmity
Too busy looking out for a way to ascend
To watch for the mine planted on the next step

Desperately searching for a truth to believe
One that is simple, easy to swallow

Disagreeing
And name calling
‘Til there’s nothing
But hatred left
Once close friends now
Named opponent
Loved ones happy
Now that you’ve bled

Push them down to quell their hate,
Bring back silence that you crave
Grip tight to what’s been gained
For fear of being mistaken

This hatred of conflicting information is likely of human design
But when is the thirst for self-confirming data finally quenched, satisfied?

Divided we stand to shout cross the aisle
Commanding control of the facts
In hopes of creating a better future for you
In the end it’s united we’ll fall

Misinformation being spread like a plague
Breathed one mouth to another, poisoning the herd
With each new infection hysteria grows
Vigilant to the faintest hint of dissent

In clever little phrases we’ll conjure the end
Burying ourselves in a mountain of enmity
Too busy looking out for a way to ascend
To watch for the mine planted on the next step

A Monument to Silence
by Alustrium

supported by 151 fans who also own “United in Enmity”

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
