The Forbidden Land
03:29
|

|
Forgotten by the sands of time and obscured by centuries of dust
The faded grandeur of the forbidden land awaiting, alluring him
At its core, a towering shrine
Haven of the two-voiced spirit
Promise of rebirth, renewal of life
Carrying his aching essence
Standing atop the monuments
His bloodied sword raised to the sky
Burning ambition blinding him
Clouding his perception
A sacrifice to a cursed fate
Unaware of his own perdition
Once, the warrior of light
His soul now consumed by darkness
Standing atop the monuments
His bloodied sword raised to the sky
Infernal possession
The demon’s bidding now fulfilled
Once, the warrior of light
His soul now consumed by darkness
Standing atop the monuments
His bloodied sword raised to the sky

Neurosynthetic

An incision is made at the base of the brain
Implanted nanomachines penetrate neural tissue
A hybridization of parts mechanical and organic
Micro-machines interface with a vast sea of information
Another chance to live
Consciousness digitized
Memories and aspirations retained
Minimizing the burden of mortality
No longer bound to the physical body
The notion of individuality will be diminished
With the ever-increasing interconnection of thoughts and concepts
Consciousness converted to mere data
Able to be transferred, deleted, or alterer
[Solo - Connor]
An endless endeavor for perfection
Eclipsing the human condition
Artificial enhancement
Exceeding our previous limits
Losing oneself
In a quest for divinity
Another chance to live
Consciousness digitized
Memories and aspirations replaced
Minimizing the burden of mortality
No longer bound to the physical body

Harbingers of Demise
03:39
|
|||
|
[Solo - Jacob]
Disciples of the dark arts descend upon decrepit ruins
Scorned by this world, the congregate to conjure legions of retribution
Black candles burning in the frigid night
Underneath a canopy of stars
Ancient tongue is spoken
As the Ritual commences
The deceased contort their faces and return to life
Resurrected, reanimated
Eternal rest denied
Wrenched from the depths of hell they pull themselves
Up from unhallowed ground
Infernal hordes encircle their masters
Unburdened by the will of man
Reawakened in demented fury
Soulless eyes reignite
Revitalized as the acolytes plead helpless for their lives
The deceased contort their faces and return to life
Resurrected, reanimated
Eternal rest denied
[Solo - Connor]
The apostles of the abyss
Slain by rekindled swarms
Piercing cries heard far and wide
Signaling the harbingers of demise

The Clairvoyant
03:11
|
|||
|
The prophets speak of the end of days
Flames of the sun diminishing
Darkness and ash will blanket the earth
Final breaths, choking on cinder
Eternal light
Stifled and nullified
Premonitions
Of undying night
The clairvoyant cursed to bear this wisdom
Brandished with the mark infernal
Life aeternum, destined to see
Hellish remains of this mortal plane
[Solo - Jacob]
Eternal light
Stifled and nullified
Premonitions
Of undying night
And so it came to pass
Enveloped in turbulence
The fortunate ones perished in the cataclysm
[Solo - Connor]
Accursed ones
Left to anguish
In the everlasting realm
Of ruin and agony
Eternal light
Stifled and nullified
Premonitions
Of undying night

To The Grave
04:19
|
|||
|
A voice embedded and unseen
Birthed in my bleakest moments
Haunting dreams as it repeats its miserable mantra
Its chilling voice pulling the strings
Guiding this self destruction
A path to ruin and desolation
I feel the light fade
And the world turns to gray
The warmth leaves the soil
Any harvest is ripped away
Suffocating, choking the roots
Serenity withers
I feel the light fade
And the world turns to gray
The air is so dense
Crushing weight on my chest
Never-ending consternation
Unrepenting trepidation
[Solo - Jacob]
The only promise given
Is to depart and be forgotten
Reduced to decay
A faceless stone settled in the dirt
Let there be darkness
Let there be stillness
Let there be silence
An end to this voice inside
I’ll take it to my grave

The Accursed
03:59
|
|||
|
Faint echoes are heard
Of the dwindling souls that wander this world
Trapped between the land of the living
And what lies beyond
Crestfallen and hollow
Lamenting voices,
Like the howl of the wind
Never granted their peace
Bound by purgatorial chains
The faintest ember of life
Refuses to wither away
Crestfallen and hollow
Lamenting voices like the howl of the wind
Accursed immortals
Anguish forever under the cold dark sun
Accursed immortals
The Primordial curse ensues under the cold, dark sun
[Solo - Connor]
Suffering and despondent
Prayers left unanswered
Forgotten by the living world
Unrecognizable
Only a husk of their former selves
Torn between two worlds
Pallid and feeble
Bearing the sigil
The infernal mark
Crestfallen and hollow
Lamenting voices,
Like the howl of the wind
Accursed immortals
Anguish forever under the cold, dark sun

Call of the Void
04:30
|
|||
|
Standing on the precipice
Transfixed by boundless depth
Enraptured by the voices
Bellowing from the abyss
Transcending comprehension
Beholding the nothingness
I lay down my burdens
At rapture’s edge
No solace to be found
From this mortal coil
A birthright of despair
Embedded, perpetual
Everlasting domain of fallen men
Welcoming with arms outstretched
Unshackling these earthly chains
Reborn in shapeless bliss
Untethered from the throes of temporality
I descend into the abyss
Leaving all behind
No body and no voice
Answering the call of the void
[Solo - Connor]
Transcending comprehension
Beholding the nothingness
I lay down my burdens
At rapture’s edge
Unshackling my earthly chains
Reborn in shapeless bliss

Reawakening
04:19
|
|||
|
[Lead - Jacob]
Through undying night
Anguish and blight
An obsidian veil obscuring the sky
A fate now foregone
A haven forlorn
A crumbling husk
As phantoms …
Roam the scorched earth
In derelict hordes
Spectral chains, purgatorium
Crestfallen spirits, unending dismay
An aeon of chaos profane
[Solo - Jacob]
Through endless woe and turmoil
Passing the fallen, one with the soil
Desolate souls approaching the apex
As Primordial flames reawaken
[Lead - Jacob]
As shadows retreat,
Piercing the sky
Immeasurable radiance
Blinding their eyes
In moments, the firmament is split
All encompassing illuminance
Solace
Malediction undone
Accursed spirits welcome their end
[Solo - Connor]
As the shadows are banished
And eclipse undone
The ember rekindled
This realm reborn
Reawakened

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!

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.
