lyrics

Breathe me into loneliness.
Become the forming walls of absolution.
In the wake of curiosity, will I rise into discovery?
In passing time, I see the shape of memories swallow the founts of the wanting.
Lead me into severance, ascend the winding way of all creation.

Climb into the sky, remake what’s me.
Dismember the face of this nightmare.

The thought of influence is all-controlling, reduced to human form to fight the face of innocence.
I see the thing inside begin to drift away.
Of what I was before is now forgotten.

This mind is torn apart.
All thought is thrown away.

Gaze down and reach the central point of broken consciousness.
Composed of sight reveals myself in singularity.
Constricted now, it withers as it rips and winds.
In atrophy, eradication strangles my mind.

This illusion.
This delusion.

How have I come to be? What place is this?
Have I died? Or, do I linger?
How have I come to be? In waves I shift.
In this mind I live, and I linger.

Now, I have come to see this face is fear.
Become life inside, and try to begin.

My flesh is ripped away.

Falling into the endless space I’ve made, moving forward.
Feeling the traces of dreams, the night embraces me.

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

The Eldritch Realm
by Parius

supported by 10 fans who also own “Symbiosis”

Legit the only thing wrong with this album is that it is far too short. I would love an album like this that's twice as long! Oh well, maybe I'll just listen to it twice haha (also just editing this for my vinyl friends, it doesn't say anywhere on the record, but this one plays at 45 rpm. Had a bit of a spook when it sounded a lot slower than I remembered lol) danielkrause

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction

Shadow Burn
by Dessiderium

supported by 9 fans who also own “Symbiosis”

Dessiderium manages to truly say something from within, giving a voice to the truly indescribable world of deep depression, loss, and grappling with an unwillingness to continue on. This one-man visionary seems to have mastered the art of putting sounds to the exact feelings he and others have experienced, creating a unique yet highly relatable soundscape of both dread and sorrow. americaneurosbmlover66613
