lyrics
The storm at the sea
A place where fleeting dreams bleed of humility
A rift between discomfort and discovery
Pulling me from reality
I must beat the demons before they devour me
I shall set them free
The ocean dissolving my mind
One lapse at a time
Eroding the walls
Taunting the gatekeepers of the deep
I struggle to breath
Tyrannical
They sift their claws
Into the subconscious neural core
Like mechanical chains that pull you downward
Beneath the sea are the spirits that feed on my memories
Sitting perched beneath the sea discrete
In their domain you can never escape
Without the lost word
Following me
Following me every step I make
Stay here too long
Roll the dice you may lose everything
They will betray
The minds that indulge in fantasy
I see them again and again
Their desire is to deprecate me
The ocean dissolving my mind
One lapse at a time
Eroding the walls
Taunting the gatekeepers of the deep
I struggle to breath
No more will the tsunamis of the dark aeonic
Whirlwind stop my will to live
To become free, my vitality
The vertical road from the trenches reaching
From the primordial deep
The ravaging sea, you’ve humble me again
Ascend
A place where fleeting dreams bleed of humility
A rift between discomfort and discovery
Pulling me from reality
I must beat the demons before they devour me
I shall set them free
The ocean dissolving my mind
One lapse at a time
Eroding the walls
Taunting the gatekeepers of the deep
I struggle to breath
Tyrannical
They sift their claws
Into the subconscious neural core
Like mechanical chains that pull you downward
Beneath the sea are the spirits that feed on my memories
Sitting perched beneath the sea discrete
In their domain you can never escape
Without the lost word
Following me
Following me every step I make
Stay here too long
Roll the dice you may lose everything
They will betray
The minds that indulge in fantasy
I see them again and again
Their desire is to deprecate me
The ocean dissolving my mind
One lapse at a time
Eroding the walls
Taunting the gatekeepers of the deep
I struggle to breath
No more will the tsunamis of the dark aeonic
Whirlwind stop my will to live
To become free, my vitality
The vertical road from the trenches reaching
From the primordial deep
The ravaging sea, you’ve humble me again

You know when a song's chorus or hook just really hits the spot, right in the pocket? This album is 45 minutes of that. 🤘

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.

Much like the two previous albums, this album grew on me the more I listened to it. IE know exactly what they are doing. 10/10, can't stop listening to this. Please do a tour in California!
