lyrics

Condensed debris compressed into a world
Circling star cutting a path of disease
Serrating our future
Evolution disguised
Light years isolate our faces
A sentiment resounding through space
A malignant beacon flickering away
The universal pedigree of hate

An ill-defined race opaque by disgrace
We circle in silence
A magnet for violence

Our legacy a ballistic test
Of minute impact on the face of existence
Projecting polluted screams to the billions
Recieving the deserved magnificent silence
We are the fundamental components
of our destruction
Nails raked down on the chalkboard
of universal dysfunction

An ill-defined race opaque by disgrace
We circle in silence
A magnet for violence

An ill-defined race opaque by disgrace
We circle in silence
A magnet for violence

So are we ready for a showdown
As your world is ripped out of its ellipsis
There is no finer flesh to fall
Than the skin that drapes our empty souls
Motionless a perfect diseasse
Asymptomatic beckoning the extinction to be
Genetically we are suppressed into reliving
Our historic poverty until it snuffs us out

Make Them Beg For Death
by Dying Fetus

supported by 5 fans who also own “Slipping on Noise”

This album has a problem with the MP3 VO compression. I'm pretty sure that's what Bandcamp downloads when you download on mobile, and the album has a bunch of weird volume jumps when I play it on the app. The flac sounds fine though. Kaewin

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williams

supported by 5 fans who also own “Slipping on Noise”

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan

This album is amazing, standing proudly alongside Machine Head for aggressive and emotional thrashing and headbanging. Can't wait for a chance to see them play live. nightbeard
