Tendrils suffocate all living things
Invaded my insides
Below the surface knowledge awaits
Perhaps the single cosmic truth
Madness ensues
I long for the truth
This empty shell no longer of use
Take my mind, this sacrifice
Control me
My body taken left soulless
Yet wanders the land
Control me
Still counting days until I see the end of time
Just a ripple away
Still counting days until I see the end
The nostalgia I will reside
Broken still twisted yet longing
The sun brings me strength
The blood I’ve consumed is now rotting away
Inside, there is nothing but decay
Consumed by cosmic beasts
Welcome the truth
With the lies that bind me
Consume
Welcome the truth
Pieces of the person I left behind
Lingers within the sand
Scattered just like I once was
When mind and body become the land
Hesitate the end
I long for my death
This empty shell no longer of use
Take my mind, this sacrifice

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
