1.	Coke Vulture 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Face numb, nostrils sore Salute for a second, hover close to the door Social interactions come with burgeoning ease Ignoring fact, abuse Man with a disease Mealy mouth God Spill your secrets so quick I'd rather piss on your tongue you prick Coke Vulture I see your tongue psychotic smoking to the filter as your eyes tell a different story Powdered glib, worthless bullshit Upper class for the night Long aboard the sinking ship where the money has forsaken all the rats We are all to blame for every crooked tooth stained by crack Feel the dry inhale Feel the stomach churn Dragged to the homeless' streets We are on the hook All for the cost of a gram We must fix this man that we've broken Or at least console Misery dust for all
2.	Hellfire 02:50	lyrics	buy track
Blighted ovum, cancerous cyst Trapped in a vicious cycle, self destructive writ A face of stone, a fist of steel Heʼs just a dying man, With broken feet Hellfire, Dragging knuckles, Splitting skulls Hellfire, A fading relic with a blackened heart, My true reflection tells the story of my past, my present, my future What future? No future! I am no longer shackled by the illusion of control I have failed myself again! I dream of death under this iron sky, Terrorize the people in your life Carry the torch of Hellfire Burning in my veins Hellfire Keeping me sane
3.	The Hollow 05:21	lyrics	buy track
All my wicked life Spent living in the hollow In the land of blood and sacrifice, the bitter truth is never easy to swallow. All those hellish days, Down digging in the hollow Covered in the phlegm of the slobbering horde Worshiping, Voicing the Damned Cry your fucking tears; You blind man! Spill all your fucking guts; Whoʼs the wise man? They sold our fucking souls; Those liars! Thieves, rapists, you filthy fucking pedophiles! Murderers, molesters, You chopped those babies up and put them in the ground Clipped wings, bruised egos, A false prophecy, No redemption, no remorse Conjuring The breath to fan your Dying flame, Rolling that heavy stone Conjuring The breath to fan your Dying flame To the destination with no name
4.	Wall of Time 05:55	lyrics	buy track
Zenith passage becomes futile, Now itʼs all just blood and doomed hearts Pushed to my extremities, Everything seems out of reach Raped by the old gods, touched by a blind hand As soon as the gold in the casket rings, A rescued soul towards heaven springs Now the old ones have your soul, May they guide you through the darkness, Release you from mortality, (The Ancestral lights) Drown me in my feeble superstitions (Sever all hope) Another lost soul, another bleeding star Show me signs, Haunt my mind, Wait on high and light the sky, Visit me through the wall of time Bleached baby bones buried deep within my sorrow, Ripped from your coil by a mortal quickening From my Mother’s hand, Through my Father’s eye, Eat the land, Move the sky Deep into the grey, drifting ever further, A crack in the immortal clay Fragments of bone pierce the skin Burned by the scales of fate Drop the weight Use the hate
5.	Demotivator 05:27	lyrics	buy track
Preacher Bury me with my back to the sky The whole world should see that I know where I'm going Praise the noose with voice of imposing giant The reverb is gone Silent and dead in a hole To never spend a pittance on the fine game of nil Life is hopeless So kill yourself Paint the walls with my fucking head Sorrowed art for attention Speeding with the windows open hoping to feel Teeth on the wheel Swallow the swill down Live forever as pig I deserve this Calm the hand and slit my wrist The skin suit slips down Words won't matter if I'm in the ground Choose life
6.	Spectral Embrace 06:26	lyrics	buy track
Descend into chaos again, Degrade yourself and succumb to depravity, One more time Such a useless endeavour, Like squeezing the brambles to become the thorn, Such a hero forever, Such a begging whore Wake up, repent, Youʼre nothing but a soft brained, ego maniacal piece of shit Iʼve lingered over your rotting corpse (On a pale horse) Waiting to pick at the bones, Waiting to swallow you whole Iʼll clean you out and make you hollow, Iʼll make sure you feel nothing anymore. Empty, Plagued, Distorted Maze Worthless, Weak, Determined Slave Iʼm just another rat in the Animus, Fated to die alone in lust Odious scum seeking truth in the succubus, Burning in the light of a dying sun

This is one of the most exciting young bands out there for me, and this album displays their entire range. How they can break from a tight riff into wild spurts of chaos only to suddenly strip it back to a danceable groove, how the music can be heartwrenchingly beautiful one second and unapologetically fun the next - it's all nothing short of amazing, and the stellar performances of every single member make this a joy to listen to every time. cluster

We suppose it's the Dublin groove tyrant's penchant for dank riffage. That's always appreciated. Plus, the lp drops on St. Paddy's - just after our birthday. Gonna get all commando in a kilt. Heddbuzz (I.R. Puffinstuff)
