Condescending to the last,
No virgin birth to save this
exemplary failure.
Under pressure by the past.
The literal weight of the earth
on our shoulders.
From form
to yes
To no
to void.
Dead bird
Like all spirit animals
Culturally taken.
Coming out
as the axe
in the tree of life.
The engine running on gore
And god's erected kingdom
on skulls,
But not anymore.
The truth lies in decline.
Curiosity admits the error
Of the first fish
to ever
long beyond the water
Descending the spiral
The furnace of time
In memories
all differences
Seem to align.
From form
to yes
To no
to void.
The dream is dead
And with it the dreamer
Dead bird
Like all spirit animals
our hostage.
Coming out
as the chainsaw
in the tree of life.
The engine running on gore
And god's erected kingdom
on skulls,
But not anymore.
The truth lies in decline.

Apostasyn

Witness of the all
Come forth and testify
Woman of the cult
itโs time to
Set your priest on fire
I turned my back on the oppressor
And replaced him with a lesser one.
A mild breeze of hope -
It cut me down.
The neurons are still hooked
on Apostasyn, the holy drug.
As long as I donโt quit,
It only substitutes.
Speaker of the gospel
Reset your frequency
Writer of the word
Itโs time to
draw the line
I turned my back on the oppressor
And replaced him with a lesser one.
A mild breeze of hope -
It cut me down.
The neurons are still hooked
on Apostasyn, the holy drug.
As long as I donโt quit,
It only substitutes.
Metatron on Methadone
Diluted and shaken solutions wonโt help
Exing the bottle of anti-prayotics
The church still fondles my pineal gland.
Metaconmen of the overworld
Guarded by cops in a shit state of mind
The overall madness will burn itself down
But hear me out,
Donโt leave me out!

All these prayers - unanswered
The enemy at the gate.
Conundrum - unsolved.
The end anticipates.
A contract with magic ink
Witnesses dissolved in history
The inkling bears contractions
This fertile womb consolidates
To heaven and beyond,
no frequency unturned.
Nowhere else to go
the white noise
from godโs radio.
Unfortunately
this is no mockery,
Even the pope knows,
There's no one to judge him.
Starving children vs. lost car keys
Tough decisions to be made.
Cancer? Returned to sender,
time to run or time to wait.
Poverty = Free will.
The 2nd yacht wonโt buy itself.
The common ground in blood and feces
beneath the bone spangled shelf.
To heaven and beyond,
no frequency unturned.
Nowhere else to go
the white noise
from godโs radio.

Traditional Black Magicks II
by Skull Servant
supported by 81 fans who also own โApostasynโ
I don't think there's any band that sounds quite like Skull Servant does. The songs hit hard and heavy while maintaining a strong melody, and the two singers provide a contrast that makes every song feel unique. The crunchy guitar and bass tone puts a lot of power behind the riffs, and the songwriting and arrangement makes this feel like a concept album. If there's one thing Skull Servant does best, it's creating music that is dynamic and ever changing.

The Hex of Penns Woods
by Almost Honest
supported by 77 fans who also own โApostasynโ
Almost Honest have continued to push the envelope within the modern heavy underground scene. To David's point, while they reside within the Stoner/Doom landscape, they possess a wildly catchy, diverse and intriguing sense of songwriting, meticulously merging elements of grunge, punk, metal and alternative rock. Honestly, this could be their best work yet.

Oscillating Forest
by Tangled Thoughts of Leaving
The Australian instrumental band juxtapose classical pianos and ambient swells with uncompromising, proggy post-metal.

Indifferent Rivers Romance End
by Wreck and Reference
Wreck and Reference expand on their metal base to deliver a masterfully-wrought album of pain and desperation.
