lyrics

Behold masquerades plaguing the Earth

The faces worn to portray
Our self contentment
Hide away our burning self resentment
We feel the suffering
Of masses following
Led blind by hopeless expectations

How can we live our lives of fabrication
When those of truth languish devastation?
Portraits crumble whilst ashes remain

Their minds unhinge
Vicious cycles of existence
We must forget lessons from the ignorant

All tensions rise
Feel the frustration
Take up the arms that will bring the true salvation
Expose the weakness of the human condition
The imperfections are the ammunition

Our lies counteract our purpose
And leave behind the limitations of what we can become

Break down the walls you feel give safety
The life that's led will only cause true agony
Refuse to fall to the inflicitons
And find the strength to shed the skin

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 62 fans who also own “Masquerades (The Delusion)”

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723
