Whip meet hand meet flesh meet man
Meet the latticework upon his back
Flesh meet bone meet thorn meet crown
Meet yourself upon the dripping stone
Depth meet height meet plenty meet plight
Baptize yourself in the failing light
Where darkness reigns in cloaks of chains
And pain is all and all is pain
Ascend
Transcend
Bend your will until you can’t
Again, again
Close the ouroboros of man
I am
Doomed to repeat the same dead end
From tail to head
Devouring myself just to live
Rope meet wrist meet rack meet twist
Stretch yourself into unbearable bliss
In sickness and health, meet other meet self
Forsake within and embrace without
Depth meet height meet plenty meet plight
Baptize yourself in the failing light
Where darkness reigns in cloaks of chains
And pain is all and all is pain
Ascend
Transcend
Bend your will until you can’t
Again, again
Close the ouroboros of man
I am
Doomed to repeat the same dead end
From tail to head
Devouring myself just to live
The logic’s sound
But the premise is flawed
Sacrifice is nothing
When nothing is all we are
The logic’s sound
But the premise is flawed
Your scars aren’t a map
They’re just scars
I’ve eaten hope just to survive
I’ve climbed the ladder of bodies
Fall into your zealot line
I don’t need a whip to feel alive
I’ve hung from every thread I’ve sewn
I’ve settled every single debt
It’s the end and we are all alone
I’m here and I’m on my own
The gates are rusted shut
And the windows boarded up
And I finally understand
That it’s our own blood on our hands

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
On the forthcoming Tombs album "All Empires Fall," the band expands their scope and range, balancing brutal riffs with melancholy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2016

What an album! The only reason the album didn't elevate them straight to stardom is not enough people heard it. Modern classic - from start to finish. c1ch
