about
Wrath is the ultimate sin, a burning rage that can lead to destruction and chaos. Its flames are fuelled by hatred, anger, and resentment, and it consumes everything it touches. It is the sin of vengeance, of taking matters into one's own hands and seeking justice outside of the law. It is a sin that can take many forms, from a quick temper to full-blown violence.
Its lyrics tell the tragic story of a woman who was physically and emotionally abused by her father. She escaped her father's grasp by marrying a man who promised her sanctuary. But instead of finding solace, she found herself trapped again in a cycle of manipulation and abuse. Tired of the endless suffering, she decides to take matters into her own hands, killing her tormentor.
The song Verdict is an ode to the sin of Wrath, a reminder of the power it carries and how easily it can consume us but it is also a tale of hope and redemption. The powerful orchestra and death metal riffs are a perfect representation of the emotion and serve to bring out the rage and intensity of the emotions of the protagonist. The woman in the song has committed a great sin, but her courage to stand up to her abuser and take control of her own life shows finally her strength. Despite the tragedy and destruction in the song, it is ultimately a story of courage and perseverance.
lyrics
Dehumanized by friendlessness
Isolated with a yearning hope of becoming invisible
A nauseous miasma of oppression
Sowed the seed of rage and darkened my psyche
I won't Endure
I won't accept
I won't surrender
I won't consent anymore
Hard to believe lightning strikes twice in the same place
I've been deceived by the safe harbor promise
There's only a boat sinking in a sea of whiskey
Where I see your reflection of abjection sharp as of my father
I am not your maid, I am not your servant, I am not your property
No more humiliation, no more provocation, no more manipulation
I can't suppress anymore the despicable thoughts towards you
It fuels my fire the way you frown at me with your churlishness and belligerent attitude
Ah, the sharpest sword is a word spoken in wrath
I can't hold your hands with a clenched fist
I can't hug you with a knife in your chest
I can't caress you with a scalped head
To prove that I exist I must kill you
Eye for an eye for all these years of abusiveness and assault
Bloody retribution to cease my wounds that never heal
I breathe adrenaline I crave blood to quench my thirst
A hammer to your head finally puts you to sleep
I must kill you once again even though you're already dead
Ironically you were always hammered but now you've got a real hammer deep down your skull
I fear a single hit is not enough and you must pay for everything you've done to me
Asphyxiate as you have suffocated me, cornered, intimidated, and kidnapped my freedom
Stab you multiple times as you have pierced my heart
Decapitate, aching to flaunt my trophy
Dismember you into pieces and eat all your raw flesh
Ingest and digest you inside of me to turn you back into shit
Because that's what you are, that's what you are!
Aus so krummem Holze, als woraus der Mensch gemacht ist, kann nichts ganz Gerades gezimmert werden

This is fantastic! Some seriously tasty brutal tech death, with absolutely crushing riffs, rhythm, and vocals.
The album's production and mixing is also perfect, it's very balanced and allows the music to shine through the brutality.
Highly, highly recommended! somethingsomething9
Absolutely crushing dissonant death metal!
With great production and tight performance from these meat sacks, this dark brutal dissonant masterpiece will be on my favorite list forever.
Don't pass up this album, trust me it's fuckin great!

Old school Death Metal in its purest form. Thanks to Transcending Obscurity for this little gem. Found it on Bandcamp Friday. The clean singing part in „Rot of Ages“ is epic - i did not expecting this. Highly recommended for everyone who loves old school Death Metal! Sælzer Bub
