Kadin Wisniewski "Crumbling Sands" is deadass one of the sickest death metal songs I've ever heard in my entire life. Favorite track: Crumbling Sands.

The only thing that pulled me out of the fabulous reverie was the screamo vocals, which I realise I just do not like within death metal, but that's just me. When the guttural vocals are there it really sinks the boot in! I will follow what these folk do from here on. Favorite track: Shifting Realms.

This suffering will not go on in silence The world will know of your torment and pain By my word I am bound to your grave To forever haunt the earth in your name Drenched in the blood of thy enemies slain Their cries for mercy will fall in vain To my Dearest mother, to my forgotten father I regret nothing that must be done For the weight of this curse has become too much to bear And thy will must be done Beneath a crimson moon An omen is revealed a plague to purify To erase the stain of humanity Now all will know of the ravaged corpse of our fallen angel And the day her life was strangled... Her piercing cries echoed As she died bruised and mangled Beneath a crimson moon An omen is revealed a plague to purify To erase the stain of humanity From kings to peasants, beggar to hierophant All become one under the grasp Of our martyred empress And through my vessel Her world will be achieved Smothered in demonic victory Beneath a crimson moon An omen is revealed a plague to purify To erase the stain of humanity

Centuries of endless travesties Quest for justice on borrowed time Living under false identities Dissimulating an archaic paradigm Facing the cycle to cast the first stone A time of deceit, a journey yet unknown The past life seems distant and unreal Can't outrun, can't outlive the origin of self This potent struggle Perverted truth, deserted roots Impinged by the chill of death Visions past create unrest Forged from the hidden depths Few but strong at will Forced into duels to the death Our rivals we must kill War cry as loud as the thundering skies Enemies in disarray, Neutralize! Gazing into their eyes Burning through flames of ice Fate turning its deadly wheel As their flesh meets with steel Resistance eliminated without remorse Absorbency of spirits A display of divine fury Deliverance Let them fucking burn A voyage to the surface Destinies are less concealed Instrument of justice The aftermath revealed The giver and taker of creation Revenge never brings redemption Till the day we are reborn There can only be one

Molded in my youth By cemeteries filled with the rotting dead Their voices stir inside my head and deep within my sleep Their visons begin to seep into my physical reality Begging to be set free Post-mortem telepathic communication Breaks divisions between dimensions Existence null and void As chronologic spiritual transformations Begin to intertwine An interchangeable vessel, it's form deregulated Levitates and then disintegrates Ectoplasmatic essence of consciousness Lingers, then dissipates right in front of me Foretelling my fate... Instantaneous, specters and revenants fade in Chosen, I am here by design a conduit Between the illusion of life and death To reveal the convergence, The harmony of creation symbiotic to the dissonance of Destruction In shifting realms, Boundless Indifferent to varying waves and lunar modulation In divination, imprisoned Within a cruel world, Poisonous and immolated Negating our existential dissonance An unveiling Forever triumphant unfolds

From the viewing glass Images in mosaic roll past Weaving a monolithic tapestry And from the palm of my hand Entire lifelines are like crumbling sands Fleeting in their greatest triumph of unknown glory A falsified image, catering to your vanities Consume the culture, smothered in your insecurities Survey the wasteland upon my throne of depravity Your shallow views sicken me I can set you free, instead you will drown In societal putridity For you are nothing but slaughter feed A byproduct of never ending greed Disintegration enveloping Twisted relentless conditioning Distances contract, Yet our separation becomes deeper From the window we retract This subconscious reaper Masked by the mechanism, To ensure our compliance A technological prison envisioned To disrupt our cognitive alignment Manipulated and extorted A mind contorted, An unintended consequence, Of a misdiagnosed analysis Crushed by broken promises and forgotten dreams We are falling further into the machine The war for our souls is over, And a new desolate world now begins ...From the palm of my hand Entire lifelines are like crumbling sands
