svil Randomly clicking though Spotify's "Fans also like" feature 6 years ago led me to this gem. It's a crime that more people don't know about it.
This album is a perfect storm of hope and despair. It becomes better with every listen. Couldn't recommend enough.
Favorite track: A Place To Hide.

Shreddysam This is an "underrated gem" as I discovered this totally by accident... and would kick myself in the butt if I've never found it...

Totally catchy, speed metal/trash riff with melodic, emotional tone to the album. I never though you could blend the two with so much finesse. This is the equivalent of musical candy....

Hope to hear more in the future....

Overlooked 08:14
Witness the dawn break the comfort of night. There is no reason, or strength it provides. Within me begins the start of decline. Forever alters, the past that is mine. Something has come in between us, but we will not break now. Feel no longer strength in numbers. Seems our world will be the end. Can you carry me my friend? I am lost. I'm too scared to bear the cost. Why can't I see it when it chooses to appear? Overlooked again and my burden is clear. Something has come in between us, but we will not break now. So here we are. Alone we've made it through the dark. To see what we've become inside. A change that we can't hide, but I'll always, always deny. This ends tonight. Fading with the light. I'll change my ways in time, only with you by my side.

Regression 07:34
Before we began, time without end. The origin of us all, preparing for the fall. Lesson learned tonight, the value of hindsight. Informs us of when, and how it will end. History leaves scars, where transformation starts. Desperate to provide, a reason to survive. Children of the shade, all born to fade, away into the end, and begin again. As we regress into a state of infinite, we condemn the innocent. Prepare your soul, time will unfold. No light, dead night, future, unsure. The margin made too thin, the battle we can't win. Futility denied, reason lost to pride. We have regressed, there's nothing left. Humanity is lost, to cosmic holocaust. As we regress into a state of infinite, we condemn the innocent. As we regress there is nothing here to mark our past. Pretend to live again. It's too late for our sake. We're too late, escaping fate.

Indignation 06:06
Light behind your eyes, can't see anything, shut them. Sound is obscured, cannot find, left behind, forgotten. Please, I've done nothing, cloudburst. I miss the rain to purify. No it's too late to pardon my crimes. Near is the end, I can't stay here, I am defeated. There is nothing left to break me. I know I'm alive. I miss the rain to purify. No it's too late to pardon my crimes. Days come and go swallowed in shadow, with no place to hide. Indignation, no salvation, even for me. Near is the end, I can't stay here, I am defeated. There is nothing left to break me. I know I'm alive.

In Sickness 09:19
Further, adrift from my soul. Further, from where I know. Closer, to those who will steal. Closer, to your sense I appeal. Absent, the presence of light in this place. Absence, could be my only saving grace. Present, the end of all days is drawing near. Your presence, I feel here. Please can you save me? From eternity alone in this place. Wait, it's far too late to save your soul, within the sickness grows. Careless, my mistakes have lead me here. Careless, I close my eyes in fear. Confess, the nature of your stay. Hopeless, is my fate. Desperate now to find a cure, for we live in sickness. Please can you save me? From eternity alone in this place. Wait, it's far too late to save your soul, you live in sickness. Can this be? I'm awake, I'm free. It has been so long since I've left, I'm home. Desperate now to find a cure, for we live in sickness.

In Stillness 01:29
I'll we've known is hidden in light. All we've known ends tonight.
7.
Deadlights 07:42
Standing at the edge of existence, staring at the distant horizon. Waiting for a sign, a signal that will lead us to a new reign, where we can start again. Careless progress, wasting knowledge. There is no one safe from the end, we all meet the same fate. A chance to be spared from the cold light when it starts to fade. Can we change fate? Time will bring us back to the origin, reliving our first moments. Dangerous to assume we are meant to be here and be in control, oh we will never know. Darkness has come to take us home. A chance to be spared from the cold light when it starts to fade. A chance to be spared from the cold light when it starts to fade at night. Meet me in the deadlights. Wake me, tell me that it's over, I need to know, that we're safe, and we can discover, where we belong.

Breathe 07:45
Breathing in, I sense the air changed tonight. Giving in, I embrace the bright starlight. Time has come around again. I'd do almost anything; give away everything. To realize what's fraudulent, and undo what I've betrayed. As I breathe the air, now I feel un-scared. In front of me, the answers were there to see, the answers there were to deceive. Don't believe, nothing is meant to be, nothing is what it seems. And I wait for all of time to end. The rest of my life to being. And it's hard for me now to pretend, I'm ok. As I breathe, the air, now I feel un-scared. As I breathe. Suddenly everything that I've loved has turned against me. Holding on to this moment it seems my efforts have been in vain. I forget to breathe.
9.
A mistake for us ever to be at all, revealed at its infancy. Recognition of doom from the stars, shrouded in their secrecy. The coldest of all mornings. Something draws my eye, distracted from all else towards the sky. Carried from my earthly senses. Suddenly alone, with all my deeds for which I can't atone. Knowing how but never coming home. I awake from here right now, only a dream, the safety of our absolution. You take from what is known, tearing the seems. Enter dawn of recreation. Scared, waiting through the night with hope for day. Never breaking, only misleading. Here with you now, I accept my fate. Though our hearts are strong, we are far too late. Now we know that this is how it all must end. No comfort from my faith to lend. All that we are becomes what was, the safety of our ignorance lost. A mistake for us ever to be at all, revealed at its infancy. Recognition of doom from the stars, shrouded in their secrecy. The coldest of all mornings.
