lyrics
The Disaster
Are we all just empty vessels influenced by the world?
What is your function?
Whether it’s kindness or hostility
Everyone has the right to praise, disregard, and condemnation
Which mode of control do you consent to?
Violence, opulence, abstinence?
Excitement is uncertainty
Noose so snug, you shrug it off
Defend what controls you
Because it is comfortable
I misperceive, but I must believe that I’ve never made a single choice in my life
I misperceive, but I say that we’ve deceived ourselves for long enough, accept how you operate
Gripping your thoughts far too hard to concentrate
The sickness grows when inflicted, convicted, restricted
We are all chained to a set course dictated by blood, mud, and luck
The mind, the body, the master
You are the anger, joy, disgust, surprise, kindness, pity, envy, love, fear, trust, affirmation, negation, guilt and devotion.
Modesty, and self-attention, I am wracked with apprehension
Meditative, ill-tempered
Admiration, obsession, triumph, anxiety, excitement, desperation, satisfaction, indifference, and sympathy
We are all chained to a set course dictated by blood, mud, and luck
The mind, the body, the disaster
Learn to love the locust
I decide that I have no choice in the matter
I decide to embrace the puppet master
Blood is the problem, but I accept what flows in me

What’s in a name? Everything. And Vancouver-based Without Mercy certainly stays true to its name. Ruthless and menacing,
these Canadian metal titans have cultivated a fusion of death and thrash, a sound that shows off the band’s respect for, and dedication to both genres....more
Bought this for Pierce Williams. Everything else is good too, but Pierce is one of the best drummers in death metal. The band is quite cerebral but reasonably accessible. A good mix of technicality, brutality, and atmosphere. Cool vocals. Metallurgical Fire
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
I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on.
10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come. Magnus Blackwood
An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.
