Noctai Carapace
Sallow Moth
Bestow me with flight, a black shell of armor, laced with poison fungal creatures So give me the most dark power that I can hold, conquer nature Foulest seed, into the tree With illness I'll disgrace eternity Into my esophagus, a piece of blade from nightmares becomes a part of me, Noctai guide me in any encounter Against nature and mankind, watch them grow weak No growth made without destruction Annihilate, slow vengeance runs deep Experience thrill of poison A mileau of marching roaches A prize to the beast No right or wrong feast I send my best Throng of fungal, prickly egglings Target the empath To bring across as dinner Cold dirt I wear the armor Like a blade in the ground I found the armor Like a blade, I found the vein Corked brain Unleash a molten larva A tactic cooked from home Familiars stew in pain I stir, now like gravel and clay Old flayer, something conscious Through a gate, through all persons that glow In a vine that curses all those who watch the tree A prize to the beast No right or wrong feast I send my best Throng of fungal, prickly egglings Target the empath To bring across as dinner Feed I wear the armor Like a blade in the ground I found the armor Like a blade, I found the vein I reach a new height I've made a feast to last years Sights unknown Hate, silence them, my teeth Deals poison, feed Trudge the mound of men, my teeth I can taste their wisdom Wistful strength Dream, slow death War In time for the sleep All warriors gather Offer war They're shackled, death, machinelike cream They're digested, digested, deconstruct garments With sadistic motive, I can gather all these strains Lunch is over, whores Poison tip blade sharpening, night I worship the night Noctai watch with me Wield all the poison Noctai watch with me Night wash the trees And I find, I see you smile I wear the armor Like a ground for my idol Dimension of it bleeds and sighs Spirit calling Spirit calling From the darkness, enrapture me The voice, the pain, sour kind Enrapture all veins Spirit come, wakes Wait for the time, the third moon shines Night to the false eye

All songs written & produced between August 2 - September 23, 2024. Released on cassette via Negative Wingspan.

This EP is a collection of esoteric artifacts and alien relics from the Sallow Moth universe.

Relic of Deceptiva:
A miniature gravestone in the shape of a moth. A chamber for Tyria, queen of the defected mutant faction known as the Deceptiva. She was shrunken down to the size of a regular moth, rendered harmless and soulless. She floats through the chaos of space, eventually landing on Thryl-3M, a purple moon with soul-regenerative qualities.

Gutscape Navigator:
A living artifact insect that can be digested or implanted into one's digestive system. It can detect illnesses and viruses and eliminate them or manifest them, depending on motive.

Noctai Carapace:
Armor created by Noctai, a dark sorcerer and nightmare moth entity. It is bestowed with the power of flight and wards off nature or druid-based magic. It creates small fungal insects with poisonous attributes.

Return From Planar Chaos:
Through impulsive science and magic by the Thryl-3M's inhabitants, Tyria slowly reforms inside of a vial. She gains an enlightened consciousness, yet retains her innate desire to mutate other living beings.
