Undying longing awaits me
Empty eternal existence
A fate worse than death
I want now more than ever
Rays bring me rest
Rays bring me rest
My shadow speaks
Clinging to my dying breath
I need no strength or blood
But I need a gruesome death
The sun so vile
The sun so vile
I say light the fire
Let my heart turn to ash
I say light the fire
Let my heart be purged from pain
Your death brought me here
I cannot go on like this
Immortal and wrought with sin
Burdened with loss the grief burns within
I cannot go on
This vile sun
I thought my soul was gone…
Undying longing awaits me
Empty eternal existence such a selfish life I’ve lived, now take it away
Rays bring me rest
Rays bring me rest
All my memories mean nothing
May they perish with me
May your gods condemn the weak
All my memories mean nothing
May they perish with me
May your gods condemn the weak
Let the darkness take over me

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
