stomachgrinder My 2nd exposure to a BM band from Iran.. cold depressive BM here. Like it! Also love the self-artwork wherein the artist seems to have depicted the grotesque human nature below our skin! Thank you for exposing that too! Favorite track: Drowning in Nothing.

bmurator Iranian Black Metal. This has some great atmospheres & some extremely tortured pieces which are a pleasure (seriously!) to listen to! Love this latest EP by VitaPhobia! Highly recommended!

Pooch This whole journey is echoing in me and I feel this delaying reverberation will continue for a long time. I could easily identify myself with this album, subconsciously it was resonating with me from the first second. The lyrics are wonderful mirrors to the vocal performance and the melodies are paddling well his pain. For me, it's easily a 10/10.

Umbra Cornuta Soaked in mournful and abiding nothingness, An ode to the rot plunged me in a totally disquieting state. The lyrics are as unsettling and bleak as the music is. 'Dissolved, Deformed, Twisted'. Favorite track: Drowning in Nothing.

I am lost, I am suffocating, This flesh, Is not mine This face, This skin, These bones, These eyes This pain, This rage, This hate, Is all that is real I beckon you, O worms! Pierce through my skin I plead you, O crows! Tear through my flesh This body torn asunder, This soul ripped to shreds The rotting flesh, Hanging from my bones The worms, Crawling in my eyes The black soil, Swallowing, Chewing, The cold flesh Here, There are no faces, There are no eyes, There are no mouths, There is only decay This thinking meat, Now thinks no more This feeling skin, Now feels no more Now it only rests, A shelter for the worms My flesh, My skin, My bones, My eyes Now grows trees, And feeds worms, It feeds worms Faceless, Eyeless, Mouthless and SILENT!
2.
As I drown, In this purifying water As each breath, Escapes my lungs I feel myself, Drifting from myself Rays of light, One by one, Getting swallowed, By utter darkness My flesh, My soul, My every fiber, Getting pulled apart by the water What seemed like the end, Is the beginning of my journey All that I ever felt, Dissolved, Deformed, Twisted, Into pure nothing My eyes are gone, But I can see My mouth is gone, But I can speak My skin is rotted away, But I can feel I know now, The ultimate truth, The ever-growing, great DEATH!
3.
Crush me! Crush me! Break my bones, one by one Skin me! Skin me! Let my blood seeth, with your pain I relinquish, my soul and flesh I sacrifice, All that lives For you, All I have ever felt For you, Keeping this fire alive This raging fire, Burning my every cell For I am you, Your every thought For you are me, My every memory My every pain, My each agony Was in service to you, I am but a husk, To be filled with your fire, To burn this pyre To burn brighter than the sun To shine with blinding light

about

"Here, There are no faces, There are no eyes,
There are no mouths, There is only decay"

This EP is an Ode, a prayer for the rot, the inevitable for all flesh.
For all meat is destined to feed worms.
