Crestfallen
IRR
Meandering through this wavering world Robbed of hope, the slow decay Limbs turning to stone While this brute feeds on the soul I can’t escape the ire, Of coincidence, Bringing death, decay, and redemption I can’t escape the ire, Of coincidence, Slaughtering dreams in slow motion Crestfallen eyes are staring into the abyss Down to the eternal fires, hailing true bliss As the ire of fate claims its prey Letting me drift away, on this endless sway With arms ascended heavenwards, I’m ripped apart, getting dragged netherwards Down to the depths of time, Idly waiting to reach the ground Heavy with a radiating heart, I’m ripped apart getting dragged netherwards Down to the depths of time Brute, behold I won’t let your malign fires reign One last battle, ‘Til my flesh is ready to be claimed Yet I sense defeat, Rotten by squished cells of deceit Drowning in numbing heat As I’m drifting Into endless dreams

The second offering by IRR, Remains Remain, is as dense and unapologetic as it is melancholic and atmospheric. Intertwining tremolo-driven hopelessness with devastating bursts of morbid chaos, IRR sonifies the crestfallen times before an inevitable collapse.

The seven hymns of despair echo through fractured realms, each track a ritual carved in dissonance and devotion.

This is not resurrection. This is remembrance.

Remains Remain is not for escapists, but for those who sense themselves beneath the archway of a ruin.
