Blood stained grounds to the South, lain on the altar blade and bone
Blood drenched grounds to the East, the flaming breath of Charchurel fills the air
Blood soaked grounds to the West, Gods of the Desert set forth war
All consuming ravenous hunger, Holy Death devours life before me
Sickle and scythe cut down and mow down, the splintering of flesh and bone rampant
Scorched Earth ruinizationed lands annihilation
Flying arrows from the dunes cut and pierce through the sandy skies
Apep's wrath upon me
Dimensionless pits open up, the sand, the sky, and the spirit falls
Distant sun turns dull, taking it's last convulsing breath
The arid ground grows cold, vultures feast upon the bodies
The stench of life disappears, melts away and dissolves into nothing
Plummeting through the bottomless abyss, cascading through the void of Set
Contorted stone faces breathe flame, primordial tongues echoing from their savage howls
Blistering hot winds swirl and rupture from below, thunderous roars piece my ears
Lacerate my flesh, thy inner walls forever collapsing
Colossal Serpent of the Deep opens it's jaws of a thousand teeth
Creation melts away and dissolves into nothing
Through the gates beyond the Realm of Dreams, now illuminated is the blazing Path of Thorns
Step by step, I slice and hack away the suffocating sublunary vines
From the forest I emerge upon the shores of Tiamat's boundless and endless eternal oceans
Setting sail, embarking on the odyssey, never to return to existence

A harrowing and driving journey of emotion, expertly dashing between dissonance and powerful consonance (as another person said) in a way that takes you on a scary-yet-smooth journey through ripping thorn thickets and out into a blessedly open clearing, before plunging you back into the thicket in your mad dash. The concept is rock solid, the non-Western scales are refreshing and are excellently hammered into both dissonant and non-dissonant moods, the songwriting is very well crafted. pinkytheent

The last time I found thrash this spectacular it was Vektor. It's everything said about this masterpiece what needed to be said. So let these words here be a little reminder to finally buy 'So It Goes' for the few people who haven't. mourner
