Úzkost

I’ve failed you Every single day. I daily nail you To that tree. When I try to do What I want to What I know I should I don’t. When I try to do What I don’t want to What I shouldn’t I do. I claim your name In the same breath I curse it. I beg forgiveness While plotting my sin. I carve your words And face into my arms While the devil Is carving out His place in my heart. I could say The devil made me do it, But I called Lucifer in. You stand at my door and knock, But Satan is already here. Faye looks down Kneeling at the feet Of her Savior Watching the boy she spent A lifetime praying for Wallow in his own filth Watching her hopes undone Hearing me twist Her prayers to blasphemy. You lived on your knees To give me strength to stand, But this life is my own. These choices were mine. You haven’t failed me. I’ve failed you both. This body’s unclean. This body is weak.

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."
