lyrics

I was born of the beast with blood
And laid into the fire
I drew no succor, I was laid into the fire
My heart was burnt, my mouth full of ash
Blackened were my limbs
I was fed the bitter weed
And laid into the black earth

I rose up, I was and was not
The fire was within me, I shadowed your world

I was laid into the fire, with flaming eyes that see
My mouth as knives, I carve upon the bones of humanity

There was no reason, no society
Only nature, biology
My eyes turned to flame that I might see
My mouth as knives that I may speak the truth
My angles sharp upon the stone

I rose up, I was and was not
I knew hypocrisy, The words were all lies
They shall be purged in flame
Ashes shall be made of them
Only the faceless sky shall remain

Ye Goat-Herd Gods Calgary, Alberta

The music blends melodic heavy metal with a vocal style reminiscent of the lid being slid off a stone coffin by the undead resting within. ... more

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow
by The Chasm

supported by 5 fans who also own “Bones of Humanity”

This is my favorite album by Mexican death metal stalwarts The Chasm, by a wide margin. All the meandering, proggy excursions of previous releases have been brutally curtailed in favor of mountains on mountains of riffs, and the result is a release that is tighter and more focused than any of their output in the last decade+. Consider my interest renewed. Patiently awaiting the next one. Ghuughra

Dream Quest Ends
by Smoulder

supported by 5 fans who also own “Bones of Humanity”

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
