about
Blackened apocalyptic crust recorded by Phillip Cope of Kylesa.
Incorporates elements of doom, crust, and black metal into a cello and upright-bass driven sound that is every bit as beautiful as it is brutal. Features album artwork by Bryan K. Ward and logo design by Dave Dean of Nux Vomica.
This self-titled, debut double-LP from Dead To A Dying World is for those who truly appreciate the aesthetic value of deluxe packaging and heavyweight color vinyl. The album is pressed on 200-gram, translucent green wax and features heavyweight jackets, metallic-silver printed innersleeves and gatefold graphic, and is neatly enclosed in a heavy-duty slipcase. Mastered at 45rpm for superior sound quality, this is an album that was truly meant for vinyl.
Released on March 24, 2011 through Tofu Carnage Records
lyrics
Wander the planes, absent minded, burning to believe, nothing there
Sky is seeping it's blood onto me, cover my skull, head forward
Nervous twitch keeping me alive, making me run
Agony the antidote of reason, shed my skin, tear my rotting carcass
Flowers in fields replaced with metal scraps, walk upon them in remembrance
Of how they once felt on the freshly sliced flesh.
Force the shards into your eyes
Scolding unconscious, behold wrath
Bones turning stone, turning clay, the chapter ends
Twist in the winds, ripping the seams, scatter
No flag left standing, no temple host to guide the lost
Shallow graves break the land, where seeds find purchase
feeding on each other, all souls broke and empty
Reclaimed the cycle, the land cries out
Wander the planes, absent minded, burning to believe, nothing there
Sky is seeping it's blood onto me, cover my skull, head forward
Nervous twitch keeping me alive
See the world for all the lack of glory.
See the beauty in the emptiness, rotting catacombs, ripe stench-filled walkways
This is the scope of our ruin and the culling of harvest
Bone riddled sewage clawing your knees, dragging and pulling
Deeper you fall under, your lungs fill with ashes
Sinking one by one, cold and alone, red ash turned to stone
Grey skies hold heavy the cries
This is the scope of our ruin and the culling of harvest
Bone riddled sewage clawing your knees, dragging and pulling
Deeper you fall under, your lungs fill with ashes
A smoldering cancer devouring the earth beyond sight
Dark coal speck imbedded in your soul shatters to branches
Black spine branches crackle out like teeth with no mouth
Light doused by smoke spewing wings dripping with venom
Behold the deluge, angry shatters the land underfoot
