lyrics
You were a child when you first felt it
The mass hiding inside you
Its silent, fibrous bulk within
Pressing itself into delicate tissues
And so you bore its weight
While:
Your bones twisted around it
You ate until you retched
It grew harder to breathe
The string in your back frayed
You put a good face on it
Fear cradled your soul in its palm
In the hours that bracket sleep
The doctors couldn’t find the mass
Their machines turned up nothing
But you knew it was there
You could feel it shifting
And so you gathered yourself each day
And carried the mass in silence
The anchor inside the quiet stoic
The spindle of strength that guides the unwinding
The heart of your truest self
The mass will abide inside you always
And will sink you by heartbeats in the end
The mass hiding inside you
Its silent, fibrous bulk within
Pressing itself into delicate tissues
And so you bore its weight
While:
Your bones twisted around it
You ate until you retched
It grew harder to breathe
The string in your back frayed
You put a good face on it
Fear cradled your soul in its palm
In the hours that bracket sleep
The doctors couldn’t find the mass
Their machines turned up nothing
But you knew it was there
You could feel it shifting
And so you gathered yourself each day
And carried the mass in silence
The anchor inside the quiet stoic
The spindle of strength that guides the unwinding
The heart of your truest self
The mass will abide inside you always
And will sink you by heartbeats in the end

about
Pyrrhon New York, New York
"Outré as they get, everything Pyrrhon do emanates from an obsidian death metal core - just that this music is that much more expressive, its impact that much more disquieting than almost anything else in the genre."

total brain melter! Krallice decides to take their music in a slightly different direction, introducing extremely chaotic and technical riffs amidst super complicated drum patterns. heavy Behold the Arctopus vibes from this one.

Labyrinth Constellation
by ARTIFICIAL BRAINsupported by 125 fans who also own “The Mass”
A spectacular debut album, which sets a brutal and atmospheric tone, very well suited for the cold and unforgiving edges of space they are themed around. An amazing album from start to finish.

One of my very first metal albums that i listened to, and i still listen to it almost every week, Artificial brain do an amazing job of creating a brutal and atmospheric sound, with a great deal of technical guitar and unique parts of each track, worth every penny

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 122 fans who also own “The Mass”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
