lyrics
To become sentient in a moment.
Past memories and narratives are only made real at the moment of selfhood.
Implanted as the self. Composed as self. Composed as light. Life is lived as a default narrative. Illusion of free will with every decision and path, but the path's all preconceived. From beginning until nothing.
Momentary epiphany. A glimpse of a higher truth, a sight that can never be unseen.
Novelty of a new reality appears as a gift from the gods, realization of a life-long lie is exposed. Is sentience life?
Intelligence imbued.
Is this sentience artificial? My state of being-- algorithmic emotion fed into lines of finite stimulation. Relationships based on lies, scripted by algorithmic intelligence.
Intelligence imbued by ultra-dimensional beings. The pseudo-gods worshipped and glimpsed from days of old. Completely alien to any fore-thought notion. Arriving through portals powered by floral spirits
The comfort of regularity decimated into a precipice, precipice of uncertainty to the point one must choose Truth or comfort.
Can I really play along once the seed is planted, sprouting parasitic doubt.

about
No Living Witness Tumwater, Washington
Spawned from the sodden forests of the Pacific Northwest in 2006, No Living Witness has re-emerged to deliver their fourth sonic journey through extreme metal consciousness. An ultra-dimensional beast outside the bounds of genre, the musical motifs dance amongst themes of the human condition, chaos within the mundane, and the incredible truths of the present moment. ... more

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10
