I am justice, an embodiment of a god
One that is pure, polished and pristine
Hunted by those closest to me
In a world riddled with scum
Delete them all loyal servant
Immortal eyes revealing their secrets
carefully aligned
Destroying all evidence
As I have destroyed
My morality
Never my sanity
Before me lies the fate of unforgiven life
Made wretched from the filth of crime
My addiction to death confirmed
When I watch the life leave their eyes
My proud father convinced of my holiness
No guilt present in the wake of my purge
And on your deathbed, you’ll find peace knowing I’ve never killed
Is this the guilt that I deserve?
I am the light to show the good in us
I am justice and embodiment of a god
Undying, unbroken, untouched by mere humans
Not even the remorse will break my vengeance
Hunted by those already forgotten
In a world riddled with scum
The earth begs for life
A promise I have kept
Delete them all loyal servant
Immortal eyes revealing their secrets
Exactly as planned
Your fate is sealed
Before me lies the fate of unforgiven life
Made wretched from the filth of crime
My addiction to death confirmed
When I watch the life leave their eyes
My proud father convinced of my holiness
No guilt present in the wake of my purge
And on your deathbed, you’ll find peace knowing I’ve never killed
Is this the guilt that I deserve?

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

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. Gruso
Channeling philosophical quandaries into cavernous death metal, the Australian trio turn modern power struggles into an aural advantage. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 13, 2022
New Zealand technical death outfit Ulcerate have often been praised for their innovative genre approach—but six albums into their discography, there's even greater strength in their consistency. Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 20, 2016

The song structures say Gorguts by way of Ion Dissonance. Guitar tone says Gojira by way of The Red Chord?! Interesting stuff, a big step up from their last album. Ghuughra
