lyrics

Ridiculed devotion—like a fool, the guilt's fueled.
The vilest conspiracy, I recall and withdraw....
My wishful thinking is the root of it all.

Intimidated and disintegrated...

I would compare you to
a swarm of scavenging ants, foraging for pain.
When you are through, what will remain?

Scoffing at my vows as you
sabotage the truth you pursued.
I have realised and reviewed
that indeed this is nothing new.

Listen to this lament, the fait accompli:
Those pretentious lies left me with nothing but woe.
While I maintain a fancy masquerade,
another fraud can tell my claim is a mere decoy.

I traced the trajectory,
an endeavour to find the source of my cloying sentiment,
yet its complexity has consumed me.

Two roads diverge ahead.
I choose one that I dread,
while I say I'm misled.

I would compare you to
a swarm of scavenging ants, foraging for pain.
When you are through, what will remain?

Scoffing at my vows as you
sabotage the truth you pursued.
I have realised and reviewed
that indeed this is nothing new.

Distant Pixels
by Subnuba

supported by 8 fans who also own “Altruist”

On ne pourra certainement pas reprocher à Subnuba de vouloir aller trop vite : si le groupe annonçait la sortie prochaine d'un album avec le single Ascending Light, Distant Pixel ne sortira que trois ans plus tard. Et à l'écoute de cette pépite, je dirai qu'on ne pourra pas reprocher grand-chose à Subnuba tout court. Le trio a travaillé d'arrache-pied et ça s'entend : le death metal technique est exceptionnel, aussi bourrin que fantastique avec ses arpèges électroniques de science-fiction ! Jordan Vauvert

Voilà qui nous rappelle les morceaux du grand Atheist, la touche progressive en plus ; et, plus généralement, quelques fleurons que l'on trouve actuellement dans l'écurie de The artisan era. ça promet ! Poesy Rider

Will admit found the dissonance initially off putting, but by the end of the first song caught the groove and loved every second! It's almost like a lost Pestilence album. Full on reccommend! warchrist30
