Twisting and reaching up
Felt through the cambium
Wonder if we will join it
When our time is up here and now
Do you feel the life: the pulse traveling in roots?
My hand is on its grooves
I sense it. I espy it.
Gazing for connections to the past;
That’s all the phloem knows
Witnesses to sublime and hell
I sense it.
Somewhere alive beneath us
Somewhere breathing beneath us.
You cut, it dies. You cut and it dies.
You cut, it dies. You cut and it dies.
You cut, it dies. You cut and it dies.
You cut, it dies. You cut and it dies.
Twisting and reaching up
Felt through the cambium
Wonder if we will join it
When our time is up here and now
The thing is alive, so you
Cut and we die—committed genocide!
I sense it. A collective. Protect it. Alive.
It’s all of us, now we will never know.
It’s all of us. Where would I stay if I heard you?
Do you feel the life: the pulse traveling in roots?
My hand is on its grooves
I sense it. I espy it.
Gazing for connections to the past;
That’s all the phloem knows
Witnesses to sublime and hell

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

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
