lyrics
Surrender grows in you slow
Its tiny grasping hairs filling the empty holes
Clotted and stiff, you wonder how you bloated so wide
The screens buzz hot in darkened rooms
Where resentment made a home of you
For the rest of its life, the rest of your life
Dumb drone lodged, rudderless in time
Fearful and thick, sclerotic and blind
The lifesore dam leaks above town
At home, your hands divide your gut
Deluded that some deeper trench
Could cure neglect, forestall the flood
The old rules slump like stricken trees
And all your hatreds burst to light
The little hairs that clog your heart
The little hairs wriggle inside
The systems unwind in glorious real time
Nothing is real, and everything is fine
It’s a new world, you have your pick of lies
Your hallowed despair birthed no insight
Just lust for the heel turn, the bully’s glib spite
You know it’s shit
But we’re all taking a bite
You don’t need consent
A few precious organs quit, the whole body dies
The hour grows late
And the blade nestles shy
To await your throat’s final complaint
Its tiny grasping hairs filling the empty holes
Clotted and stiff, you wonder how you bloated so wide
The screens buzz hot in darkened rooms
Where resentment made a home of you
For the rest of its life, the rest of your life
Dumb drone lodged, rudderless in time
Fearful and thick, sclerotic and blind
The lifesore dam leaks above town
At home, your hands divide your gut
Deluded that some deeper trench
Could cure neglect, forestall the flood
The old rules slump like stricken trees
And all your hatreds burst to light
The little hairs that clog your heart
The little hairs wriggle inside
The systems unwind in glorious real time
Nothing is real, and everything is fine
It’s a new world, you have your pick of lies
Your hallowed despair birthed no insight
Just lust for the heel turn, the bully’s glib spite
You know it’s shit
But we’re all taking a bite
You don’t need consent
A few precious organs quit, the whole body dies
The hour grows late
And the blade nestles shy
To await your throat’s final complaint

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."

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantationsupported by 333 fans who also own “The Unraveling: Hegemony of Grasping Fears”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 303 fans who also own “The Unraveling: Hegemony of Grasping Fears”
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.

Infrared Horizon
by ARTIFICIAL BRAINsupported by 296 fans who also own “The Unraveling: Hegemony of Grasping Fears”
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
