lyrics

What do you fear?

Bugs crawling around you as you take your last breath
I can smell the fear around you
Take your last breath as the cold dirt surrounds your entire body and you're forced to suffocate

The cold chill of death has his hands around your throat
You try to scream, but no one can hear you
Look me in my soulless eyes and understand that from here on out, you're trapped in my world

Tell yourself that it's only a dream, but everything seems to feel so real
The very hell that you fear could be the cause of your demise
Are you afraid yet? The buzzards are waiting for you
Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I can see your every move

What do you fear? Are you afraid of something as simple as loss or death?
What do you fear? Is it something major just like the end of the world?

Be afraid!
I can make all of your nightmares a reality
No more dreams, just images of what is to come when we are through with you
I have shown you that there is such a thing as The Devil
He comes in many shapes and forms
The Devil is your fears

Never sleep again
All you'll see are images of what you fear the most

Be afraid!

Wretched Existence
by Before The Harvest

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Terror Of Gotham”

Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here. mourner

I stayed away from this EP for awhile, because at the time of the release it seemed like every "djent" band was copying the Egyptian/oriental sound. Overall, I'm glad I revisited this album, technical aspect of the music mixed with the quality of sound and the br00tal vocals makes this record really spectacular!!! fathead dog
