lyrics
The bow turns toward the air
Waves, they plow across the vessel
Sense of security was always an illusion
Blinding me, binding me.
Passing data streams through invisible mediums. Unspoken speech.
Animalistic instinct. Primal dance of games within games. Cues masked by cues, masked by masked cues. Monkey see monkey do monkey do monkey don't.
Divide and conquer. Machiavellian plain-sight propaganda infects the zombified media consumers. Black White Nazi Commie. Humans are no longer human to each other, but caricatures of cardboard ideological assumptions all fucking in echo chambers and fighting in the streets.
The meaning is lost in a world saturated with language. Perceptual relativity between those within the game.
The character I play in this staged play.
Materialized essence of something or someone I do not know. Functioning in a three dimensional field processing input and executing behavior based on stimuli of other I's. All eyes are One.
Passing data streams through invisible mediums. Unspoken speech.
Animalistic instinct.
Primal dance of games within games. Cues masked by cues. Unspoken instinct. Arbitrary primal utterance. Instinct speech.
Meaning is lost in a world saturated with language. Perceptual relativity between those within the game.
Waves, they plow across the vessel
Sense of security was always an illusion
Blinding me, binding me.
Passing data streams through invisible mediums. Unspoken speech.

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
