Unwarranted deaths on my land again
Why do they keep doing this?
Streets painted as a bloody mess
Of my children—those made speechless
Conflicts with the gas of death
My surfaces losing breath
[Chorus]
Burn your oppressive synthetic history
Start again
My limbs will rise from ashes
Against those abusing my lamb/land
Their world, I, won’t last forever
Their Mom, I, won't last forever
Stand together to stop the sanctioned murders
Stand together to stop the sanctioned murders
And then we’ll listen, praise them, their lives matter
More than what you think
More than what you say
More than property
The death of all you see
I, the roots, am sick of witnessing bloody Sundays
Say the names of your murdered
[lost in the cacophony of names and voices]
<{(Your silence approves their violence)}>
One long Sunday extending through my bark and leaves
Say their names before they’re lost
in the fires of histories
Say their fucking names
Killed without shame
You only see the flames
But now we’ll listen, praise them, their lives matter
More than what you think
More than what you say
More than property
The death of all you see
Burn your oppressive synthetic history
Start again
My limbs will rise from ashes
Against those abusing my lamb/land
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
Even in its prettiest, most celestial moments, the South Dakota trio's sound feels dark and dense and deeply rooted. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 24, 2021
Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2020
Abstract Illusion achieve to create an imaginary landscape that magnets to our metallic soul. An extraordinary rounded album that will continue spinning for a long period. josich
