lyrics

And at once I realize that the hand I hold is black with corruption, that the gilded rhetoric is a sibilant mantra meant to stifle guilt, that the staunch discipline of tradition is merely the coward's path, and that this descent into compromise is the death of friendship. I've witnessed you slit the throat of the young idealist and impale empathy to the hilt of your sword. You wear a stranger's face. Your eyes hold no recognition. Conceal the vastness of self-betrayal beneath the scientist's cloak, beneath the scholar's mantle, beneath the hedon's frock. Drink the blood of this perverse deception. Escape in inebriation. Bonds consecrated in our most private moments. Loyalty sacrificed in the blaze of denial. My emptiness has built your altar. And I worshipped myself in you forever.

A bit slower release in comparison to what I've heard from THOU already, yet still disgustingly beautiful. Marcin Wielewski

Can never really go wrong with Thou--they've established themselves as a band that consistently puts out high quality releases. Also, there are very few bands that I would trust with Nirvana's material, but these dudes do a killer job on the Something in the Way cover. Fantastic juxtaposition of blackened growls and tender vocals. Hank
