Old restless skin, an aged pallet
Portraying an obscure existence of torment and such resilience
An empty vessel, the broken casket
What temple does this man bow down to?
Before us, staggered standing and hardly breathing
Arms light the skies
Eyes fall open wide
Thy shall not listen
Preaching to us while you quiver and moan
Cold desolate skin, empty sermons you submit of self loathe
Still you deliver, but only to your own
Empty vessel, broken casket
Cast aside like filthy rags, succumb to your solitude as you will preach to us no more.
Eyes open wide, at your pyre you beg for remorse
But to whom, we shall not know
And for why, we wait to be shown
Thy shall not listen, swallowing the darkness as it fears the light
Its groans haunt the eve and infect the breeze
Its whisper is carried a thousand miles, chilling the bones of ten thousand men.
Earth is fire, you must obey
It will cleanse of life and rid the light from day
Fearless we remain
Misled, we cast it astray
Speaking not of our lord, but of a benevolent creator
Whose generosity would flourish until the deceiver earths their seed and speak not of loyal, but of power and greed
As a wound must bleed to heal, Liquid fire from lacerations will cauterise its anguish
Its adversary and its architect
WE HAVE BECOME FIRE

From Ash and Sulphur

Stripped is the light from day
The heaviest nightfall that consumes all life
Frost bitten summer abandons all growth, left with empty mouths and barren wells
Forcing the allegiant to swallow their sworn oaths
Unsettling tranquillity and uprooting array
The darkness has spread and adhered to all hope, leaving humanity in dismay
Uprooting array
Leading humanity astray and left bereft of life
Their misery settles like dust to cloth
A pall of darkness beds the Earth
Alluring only to the Moth, Impatient and in lament of the Sun
Their misery adheres like ash to water
A pall of darkness beds the Earth
Luring the weak to slaughter, impatient in lament of the Sun
Misery streams down like Achnelith
A pall of darkness smothers the Earth
In lament of the Sun, awaiting its rebirth
Frost bitten summer abandons all growth, left with empty mouths and barren wells
Relapse in loyalty, breaching their oath
Unleashing hostility, leave all in disarray
Infinite heirs to madness inherit widespread decay
Regret torments those in awe
Neglect reflects their ignorance and portrays their violence
Visionless visionaries feeding from sulphuric fog
Vomiting their fictitious perceptions, leading the darkness astray
Adhering to all hope, leave all in disarray
Civilisations cleansed of civilisation, the allure of inhumane influence.

All Was Froze
07:24

Solar radiance stood still
Opacity of the reddened fog growing frail
Atmospheric intolerance, pioneering the greatest chill
Hardening surface harbouring the spreading affliction
of Icey parasites
Seeking no harvest but seeking to crawl
Through our homes, through our skin
and through our clothes
Exhume
the warmth and leave nothing but emptiness
Crystal chrysalis blooms into fragments of despair
Spreading wings and infiltrating our breath
Into our lungs, and solidifying our blood
Choking on a reckless gasp of air
Smothering the flame that once
brought us to grave with a moth eaten cloak
Suppressing its path but submitting
to its glowing shards
That rebuild our hopes,
with remnants of warmth
from the hidden light of the sun
Contagious irrelevance of our pastors
Like driftwood, astray from the fabric of normality
Absorbs nothing but the cold, for months, for years
Leaving us as the dregs
Will this solitude direct us back to reality?
Will this endless winter surrender, and release us from depravity?
Liberate the winds from this seizure
Unfold your grip on prosperity
Remit the warmth from the hidden light of the sun
Return to morality.

The plight of ash woven tombs,
carries burden like disease
Incessant sky fall preserving
the skin but destroying the soul
Search for the strength to find resolution
The dust hardens to clay, your tears fall like cement
and bind your hands with the dirt
Becoming the ground as the earth curdles your blood
and abrades at your sores
Continue to empty this hole yet it overflows with sorrow
The mound exhumed, tells of history - tells of mourning
Molten human dregs, your eyelids unable to restrain the misery, impervious skin weeping
Using our blistered limbs as tools. Tools to deliver only anguish
Blackened hands smothered with grief, stained with human residue
Unearthing a victim of preservation,
sanity blooms as the moonlight would ignite ocean
A passage, a sign, an embrace of emotion
Suppressing the mourning with a deafening slumber,
an awakening so vivid it would deny the sound from thunder
Cast an epiphany from this seething mound of ash
Forge life from your swollen heart of fire
This moment of solace defies all that was written
Monolithic mountain
Subdue the currents that quench our sores
The winds that erode our skin and the rains that cauterise our wounds
Glowing skin, molten within – fuse our palms with your flesh
Becoming one, entwined but the agony curdles with your blood
Sacrificial allegiance
To hold hands with the dead
Their revisions bleed through your porous skin
To see and to breathe of the worst you could imagine
Monolithic mountain
Ever watching eye, the eye that eats into the shadows
Merciless Belial pours searing heat into every man’s palm
Permeates through flesh, through bone
Twisted within thousands of men
Empty shells stand by your side and you have never felt so alone

SUBMERSIVE THUNDER
ANNOUNCING THE CRACKING SKY
THE SUN SURRENDERS ITS CROWN
GLOWING RED GIANTS
MANIFESTING THE TIDES
ALTERING THEIR BREAK
ESOTERIC MOON ARISE
TOO RESONANT TO FORSAKE
RETURN TO YOUR SLUMBER
AND FORGET THE WORLD

Cohesion
07:50

Atomic collision, sulphuric dislocation to nourish
The wrath of imbalance
Premeditating failure of unity between Earth,
Sun and Moon
Centrifugal collapse,
insecure and volatile
The core of actuality becoming frail
Elusive tides honouring their myth as an unstable force
Not to be reckoned with
Liquid war with an immortal
Sword nor shield could withstand such affliction
From an adversary that knows not of mercy
Bestowing death with fluency
Generations of loyalty eased, cease life
In awe of the great white wall
A tidal force will reign down to
appease the deity and quench its charred blistered heart
Offerings neglected as treason to its thirst
Commanding the seas to rise for and take heed
Smother the lands with organic genocide
With destruction and disease
The wrath of imbalance
Premeditating failure of unity between Earth,
Sun and Moon Reversing the balance of life and death
Entire civilisation swallowed into a molten black tomb
Every morsel of inheritance digested and churned into excrement
Aside their beliefs, blinded by solidarity
Generations absorbed never to be spoken of
As a mist dissolves by the touch of Sun
With no recognition of existence and no one to speak of its relevance
All is lost
Flawed is the bond
Cohesion within aversion
A premature end

She breathes with a heavy despair
Open wounds will open minds
Forge an attraction for perversion
Waiting to glare inside
Ignorance fluctuates through the masses
But when she speaks even your god’s will hold silence
And we will feed her with our death.
Listen we did not
Divinations betrayed
Negligence held the pyre whilst we worshipped the fire
we must now pay our due
Spoken not in words
Her decaying soul enrichens the sulphur
The stench of what is to come, misleading to none
The bones of every man crumble to dust
War cannot be undone
Glowing fissures scorching the winds
Igniting and suspending the flame
Setting fire to the sky, her tears quench nothing but fuel the burn
And blood drenches her skin
Molten heart pumping magma from her veins
A torrent of death
To spill through these blackened days.
Through starvation and frost, through the darkness and death
Uniting all to drink from the same chalice, yet there is nothing left
An aftermath breathing with the sun, revealing hope but yet serving none
To witness no man’s land, and empty space where you will preach to anything
Suspended between earth and sky, a whisper will fragment into thunder
She has spoken with an empathy for disaster
Her Destructive noose, constricting life
to an endless winter, to a year of no light
Listen we did not
Divinations betrayed
Negligence held the pyre whilst we worshipped the fire
Listen we have not
Inspirations have frayed
Negligence held the pyre as we became the fire

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore

If you told me that Dischordia shared members with Dysrhythmia I'd believe it without checking. Angular, dissonant constructions that give no fucks about human enjoyment. I need more.
