Our spines entwined,
Your veins weaving through mine,
A larval knot
Encased in a molten cocoon –
All bedrock and magma
Fused to our flesh.
We are a zygotic mess
Writhing, dripping with sweat
That would extinguish the sun
And rust the sky
If given the chance.
But we hide in the core,
Swaddled in secrets,
Beneath layers of dirt and deceit.
Our venom infects the crust,
Leaving oceans barren
And orchards withered,
As we twist about our refuge,
Eager to rupture the mantle
Pulled tight over our body.
And each spasm is seismic,
Forcing mountains to quiver
Buildings to crumble,
And tectonic plates to grind.
The surface is magnificent in chaos,
We will emerge as one and devour it.
You scour the depths of my throat
With your reptilian tongue,
And find no remorse.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
Seattle’s Laden captures the storm and stress of the greatest, grimmest post-metal, crafting songs from 20-megaton riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2022
Featuring members of Noothgrush, Graves at Sea, and more, the Oakland metal band juxtapose cavernous doom with spaced-out shoegaze. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2024
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
