about

“There are fragments in my mind of who I once was,
But the memories are obscured by regrets….
By apologies I’ll never have the chance to make”

Regret compounds upon regret, and The Lost Man sinks into the oubliette that is the ramshackle building he has found himself in. His mind lapses as he stumbles from room to room. The walls seem to have moved. The architecture seems to have shifted. The faces in his mind blur and become dithered icons of confusion. Blurred eyes deceive his steps as he lurches through the kitchen and towards the back door. The screen door crashes open and the sun strikes his face. He wipes his eyes, and the yard takes form. His breath catches in his chest as he remembers. A mound in the dirt and a weathered headstone mock him as he steps down from the porch.

lyrics

I am transformed.
A shapeless artifact of myself long gone.
There are fragments in my mind of who I once was,
But the memories are obscured by regrets...
by apologies I'll never have the chance to make.

My eyes no longer see them...
faces and shadows of those who have gone from my view.
The weight of all I have seen blurs my vision.

These eyes are not my own.
I don't see myself in the mirror.
I do not recognize this image.
Past or present.

These eyes can’t be my own.
I can't see myself in the mirror.
I cannot recognize this image.
Past or present.

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
