Monolithos 04:31
memories spread sinewy and pain coagulates a parasite behind the veil walls of ice slide in marrow — the flock submits kneeling before the malformed idol the last antibodies have faltered, imbalanced on fragmented ground all that remains are the echoes of sublimity crashing down the mute void has no horizon memories spread sinewy and pain coagulates a parasite behind the veil walls of ice slide in marrow — the flock submits kneeling down we stand by, hesitant, as the last human remnants swirl downward into the unknown in the end, ice takes the place of bone how long will we maintain the decrepit cult of a spectre impervious to our pleas? ice takes the place of bone

traders in flesh traders in flesh traitors — hovering constantly traitors — debased carnalities haunted by the memory, her dreams are fraught twisted hands and rotting grins surround her, promising rot traders in flesh traders in flesh traitors — hovering constantly traitors — debased carnalities lie in wait lie — he feeds on her infancy lie — a perverse pageantry infest — our famished thoughts infect — the breath of pestilence left hollow by his touch, she has but one need twisted limbs and rotting skin engulf her, now she bleeds

Sunless Dawn 05:03
blinded and broken by loss, the flesh stretches thin across the edges for we are amalgamations of forgotten dreams and incomplete miseries failure incarnate, the grand destroyers the skies above us burn with the memories of those we’ve abandoned the ephemeral is all we have all we have returns to dust your legacy is merely one of regret and remorse reduced to ash, scattered and forgotten your absence, a tumor, consumed the stars spreading through the limbs of existence the skies above us burn in a sunless dawn eternal the skies above us burn much like our father’s kingdom time spent waiting for salvation from suffering without end the hubris that it takes to believe this horror holds some meaning some imagined purpose beyond simply not being dead beyond simply not being dead yet the ephemeral is all we have all we have returns to dust the skies above us burn
4.
Witness 05:32
we are the cancer in the heart of the world we dream of crimson death eternal behold a pale horse, a rider, a witness to the fall behold a prophecy, a promise that hell is better than we deserve hell is here starve steal covet corrupt we find no savior, no hope for this world we welcome crimson death eternal behold a pale horse, a rider, a witness to the fall behold a prophecy, a promise that hell is better than we deserve
5.
in an anemic glacier they think they found the truth with their circulation wilted and broken they kept the beat as the ice had emoted to stop the cognitive erosion within frozen blood, the ice at its most ferocious lies the confluence of flesh and worship they think they’ve found the truth we think we’ve found them you think you found the truth I think I found you as the earth vomits blood, its guts on our jaws the individual experience is a hostile, indifferent existence
6.
Drowned 05:11
she dreamt of forever, of her name on the lips of the gods in a world filled with light she was not an artist, but with one bullet birthed a crimson mural dripping slowly, a river of blood, teeth, and hair hands drag her downward, gasping for air her light fades a daughter ripped from the void, left adrift in the sea nameless and abandoned — in the undertow she is free traumas crash around her like waves tides draw her into darkness — a welcome grave she dreamt of forever, of her name on the lips of the gods, of not drowning alone she was not an artist, but with one bullet birthed a crimson mural we all drown alone with the first shot, she made him her masterpiece and with the second, she signed her name she signed her name
7.
when night obscures the course of hours, we fear what sleep might exhume the vessel is but a breathing corpse enshrouded, entombed my body no longer drifts in the lake of sorrow, but my spirit withers in the absence of light shackled to the burning earth our bones are charred my fingers seek the wretched truth my eyes seek the marks of scars beneath the soil, find not a memory but a tiresome existence reduced to a carcass let them spread our ashes together beneath the dying heavens my body no longer drifts in the lake of sorrow, but my spirit withers in the absence of light

about

Denver's GLACIAL TOMB take death metal to new heights with their eponymous debut album.

Unrelenting, calculated, and intense, each of the 7 tracks on ‘Glacial Tomb’ see the band draw inspiration from death metal at a time where the genre relied on unforgiving sonic brutality as much as it did masterful musicianship. Tracks such as the opening "Monolithos" and "Witness" see the band club and pummel the listener with some of the heaviest riffs to spawn from the western US, while "Breath of Pestilence" showcases the band's punk rock spirit as they contemplate existential dread, misanthropy, and failure.

Not to be confined to a single sonic identity, much of GLACIAL TOMB's music ebbs and flows throughout the spectrum of the extreme; the group incorporates sludging riffs and angular, dissonant black metal chording into their arsenal. 'Glacial Tomb' is a heavy, at times uncomfortable, album and is one of 2018's most undeniable releases in the genre.
