Broken, shattered, scattered throughout the land
I find myself gone
Body decomposing in the earth
My consciousness alive looks up to the sky
Broken, shattered, scattered throughout the land
My legs (my legs become)
The roots (slowly growing)
My arms (touch the sun with the) limbs of the trees UGH
The sky looks back longingly
I can feel the sins of humanity
I can feel everything
I am gone but here
Everything you feel permeates me
All the pain, all pleasure, all knowing
I’ve become a god of death and life
All the love all the fear all the screams I can hear
The wind must be my breath
Consciousness forever alive
I cannot escape my shell has died
Six feet deep my flesh (rots beneath)
Elemental binding
I’m blinded by the blackness of death
The vicious cycle of life in which we all take part
No choice we eat the force fed lies
Forever unknowing
The vicious mind of man
Cursed to this life of sin
Cursed to this life

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
