Stashing clasps, plates of armor no one needs, for wars no one fights but your own, only against yourself.
The teeth gnawing their tongues out of their heads.
Purposeful reminder of the taste.
This is what they wanted, or so they thought.
No escape in the house you've made.
No hiding in the ruin they've built to protect themselves, and their elders, and their feeders, and their thought process.
You can't escape for relief, relief from yourself.
The patterns you've built locking yourself into the cold.
Stand corrected.
Sometimes, to act right, we need to commune with the outside, but you just can't go face the truth if you don't want to be changed.
Change.
Crumple, through no pollution, the stomach to stand corrected.

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
A foreboding black-doom metal dirge, meditating on a dark world caked in ash, resulting from all the Earth’s nuclear arsenal detonating at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 14, 2018

I can't pin this down genre wise but it hits all the right buttons for me. They remind me of Nirvana if Kurt had started a blackened funeral scream band. The riffs are spacious and devastating and the screams are just as destructive and cathartic. It's just the right length too. Beautiful album. eManRenaissanc
