lyrics

-Usurper-

“Kill me I know you want to
I see it in your eyes
Kill me I know you need to
For the ancient blood”

“Step closer forward to the fire
Let me see all of your magnificence”
Immersed in shadow a figure forms
Exhale the smell of death

Locked onto its eyes I’m staring deep into a black void
“Your eyes don't wander too far”
Standing frozen, locked in place, unable to make a move
“Mere bravery is not enough you’ll see”

Here basking in the dim moonlight the corpses rot around me
I grip my blade and steal myself
For I wish not to join them
Pondering its existence
How could this beast lay undiscovered for centuries or eons
Heathens like this deserve flame
Now’s not the time for idle thought
The land must be cleansed

Lunging forth exploding with energy forgotten
“It seems this one wishes to fall”
Slicing air
Stumbling down
It simply seemed to vanish
“You fool this forest wont let me die”

Advance forth into darkness
Lose yourself in hatred
Swing your blade to no avail

It may seem that I have underestimated this creature
How cunning and quick
“Look to here you filthy mortal feel the claws across your back”
Gut wrenching pain consumes me
My carelessness cost me much
Losing blood I turn around
Just like that it vanishes into the air
Usurp the woodland throne or be consumed by black magic
The choice is yours

Locked onto its eyes I’m staring deep into a black void
“Your eyes don't wander too far”
Standing frozen, locked in place, unable to make a move
“Mere bravery is not enough you’ll see”

Advance forth into darkness
Lose yourself in hatred
Swing your blade to no avail

Visions of Infinihility

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723

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

Much like the two previous albums, this album grew on me the more I listened to it. IE know exactly what they are doing. 10/10, can't stop listening to this. Please do a tour in California! Stephen
