DAMIEN MCSHERRY What an album ,i listened twice with earphones exercising today and love it. At first i thought the vocals were too low in the mix (a while back) but with careful listening i realise i was way wrong they're just right, Favorite track: Let Pain Be Your Guide.

providence_lost Gorgeous homage to melodic extreme metal. The lyrics on this album are poetry. A new favorite. Favorite track: Years in Exile.

H.L. As I enjoyed INEXORUM's latest melodic black death metal release "Moonlit Navigation" a lot, I check the back-catalogue and discovered this EP. The energy level is at the maximum and although the songs are melodic they come with rough edges as well. In total, this fast-paced 5-tracker is a more than solid debut, though not as catchy as the latest release. Favorite track: Raging Hearts.

a sacred hall beneath the pines between the city lights and the northern sky travelers convene in this place of frozen time all are welcome here tales of legends past and dreams of worlds to come we forge our own way with raging hearts through the night into the sun from lands afar the road so long we gather here where we belong the taste of smoke driving to create forging steel, dormant senses shocked awake tales of legends past and dreams of worlds to come we forge our own way with raging hearts through the night into the sun the world outside these doors, filled with sorrow and the mundane let the rune-wards lend their strength drawing power from hearts aflame this fortress stands for those who seek invigoration from the walls, claim your weapon feel exhilaration with vigor and determined will choose now your true desire from thought to action fires of our own creation works forged in our own fire and through the snow and forests of the north gather now your strength and venture forth gather now your strength and venture forth

breathe deep, blood pounding through your veins hold tight, essence of the self remains endure, limits of the flesh defined control, form subservient to mind don't look away, as needles pierce the skin resolve, you control what you let in to find the source, where you feel the most alive you'll know the way. let pain be your guide oh, this beating heart is yet unstilled vision blurs with tears of agony racing pulse, counting scales from one to ten tendons strain, firebolts of neuropathy diagnosis undefined selective pathways are aligned reframing every sense of self clawing back, clawing back to health living fear, will i ever be the same again? what is to become of me? in such restraint, feel the walls closing in oh! what kind of person will i be? diagnosis undefined selective pathways are aligned reframing every sense of self clawing back, clawing back to health from under heavy burdens you will struggle and emerge stronger than before find the truth within these words no one fights alone carry your strength from deep inside while you resist, know that you're still alive light the torch and hold it high find your way, let pain, pain be your guide

inside these walls confined to time and place closing down such shame upon thy face unspoken words a prison of the mind did you hear them? echoes from another time open wounds that never heal they belong to you, a prophecy made real through years in exile, written in your scars liberating light, a sign from distant stars so far from home freezing, hungry and alone a litany of sins, yet to atone cast in sorrow years of grief, calcified a lake of tears engulfed, the grand divide open wounds that never heal they belong to you, a prophecy made real through years in exile, written in your scars liberating light, a sign from distant stars and as you count the years, behind a distant haze forever out of reach, and yet sustained by dreams of brighter days the path you walk no maps to mark your trail solitary journey the lonely traveler's tale with every step, though you may be alone you're one step closer, one step closer to your home one step closer to your home

To Omega 06:11
in silent hours, the fear takes hold the sense of ebbing time what lies ahead, what lurks behind a dread so undefined and when you realize mortal after all in sudden clarity this fate awaits us all omega ever calling unto the void we see but one path forward oh, these words we leave behind the marks we make upon the world this is our legacy, eternity to omega and beyond in sudden bursts, the heat of fire a drive to make a mark ablaze with will and purpose one last time before the dark as the years fall away viewed from wiser eyes we search for meaning in our lives one last great work before we die omega ever calling unto the void we see but one path forward oh, these words we leave behind the marks we make upon the world this is our legacy, eternity to omega and beyond the spark ignites the flame, to see and feel from thought to form, it bursts into the real the tyranny of time all consuming inevitable loss will you let it own you? are you still fighting? are you still fighting?
5.
on a day when the world was young we followed the path of the sun we gathered near the water's edge never knowing where our journey led from the shore, across the waves behind the clouds as the daylight fades the frigid winds, the foretold storm the clash of thunder, as the sky is torn from shore to shore hear the voices of those who've gone before this is their home under the waves, you'll never be alone horizon lost in the crashing squall on the winds, a distant call thoughts of home and the ones we love afterimage, lightning-lit from above lashing waves pour over the sides in this violence, we fought to survive the final blow, waves crash overhead ever down... to dream with the dead from shore to shore hear the voices of those who've gone before this is their home under the waves, you'll never be alone look to the north across the water under starlit skies never forgotten, forever alive hear the tales whispered on winter winds under shimmering lights forever, forever alive
