What have I found here
Deep in this wild wood
A place I’ve just now reached I
Never thought I ever could
Is this a time for me to celebrate
I must move on, I cannot wait
Upward I still must go,
I’ll dig in hard and make it so
What is this now
My feet are moving but
I’m going nowhere on this ground
My struggling wrought amiss,
A desperate thing this is
What I once thought I saw is
Shrouded now in silver mist
(unintelligible gurgling and shrieking)
The sights before my eyes have changed
The ounces of relief I’d found have gone away
It's all replaced with fear and pain
I’m choking like I can’t believe
Someone save me set me free
Dark and swirling smoky Hell,
It comes around me as it cracks and swells
Tragedy tackles me limits perceptions
Clears my reservations
Calamity handed me cards I could not play
Now the Forest has its way (come have your way)
The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
