When Her Prayers Are Silenced

Úzkost

To Lois Faye Thieler: My dearest heart: I don't want to know what it’s like To live in a world that Doesn't have you intervening for it. I don't want to Live a life That isn't covered By your prayers. My whole life, You have been Before your Creator Speaking on my behalf. What kind of life will I lead? What kind of man will I become? Where would I have been if "life had happened", Or you were too tired or too angry To daily get on your knees and cry out for me? I am the man I am because of you. All the good in me was from you. I learned how to live a life of grace and love Because of who you were. Who you were. You taught me how to love my neighbor and love our God. You pulled me from darkness and bathed me in light. You were the brightest flame in my life. Your strength seemed limitless. your joy infectious. Who can take your place? What will this world be? What kind of life will I lead? What kind of man will I become? Where would I have been if "life had happened", Or you were too tired or too angry To daily get on your knees and cry out for me? I am the man I am because of you. All the good in me was from you. Through you I learned how to live a life of grace and love.

Press

Angry Metal Guy

"Lo, and I Am Burning is a dark and troubling gem, a hoard of inner demons hurtling by, unleashed with so much honesty and trvth as to render the petrifying procession beautiful. Regardless of religious beliefs, I would urge all ye faithful to dissonant metal to make a pilgrimage to this album, as this is trvly faith-affirming stuff. Hear me, I beg. 4.5/5"

No Clean Singing

"Lo, and I Am Burning may very well be a divisive release, when all is said and done, and it may not be an easy listen even at the best of times, but it’s undoubtedly a brutally rewarding, not to mention disturbingly compelling, album all the same, and one of my favourite new discoveries of the year."

Noisey

"The album sees them maintain the raw, discordant black metal sound of its debut, while rounding out its sound with elements of doom and death metal."

Brian @ Meat, Mead, Metal

"Many of us are struggling, and sometimes each new day is like getting back up only to be punched in the face again. “Lo, and I Am Burning” captures that struggle, the metal turmoil that makes it seem like things never will be OK again. They will, even though that feels like a hopeless cause sometimes, and perhaps this music can help be a reassuring reminder that you’re not alone."
