Empowered gaze through limitations
Finding room in closed up space
Shedding callous hesitations
Torrent of life through stagnant veins
Staring into the abysmal future
Bodies wilting under graves
Where in the dirt and the endless darkness
A glowing orb still flickers away
With unburdened vigilance in sleeping eyes
Staring up at familiar ceilings
Harnessed the beam of visceral light
Still in the marble sky I saw no meaning
It slowly stirs, around in circles
Until I find myself right back at the beginning
To find worth, to find purpose
The search is endless in this lifeless lack of meaning/
I sought to speak with the ominous voice of the universe
Or have its almighty hand pin me to my bed
Or some spectral figure gowned in healing light
Come to lift the sorrow from my head
Though I felt alive, I was still unhappy
As my skull was unscrewed from my neck/
The life was poured out of my body
I don't recall what happened next
Hate is home / Hope is distant
Fate is cold / Ground imprisons
Death unveiled / Dark has risen
Cold prevails / Life is hidden
Everything gets tangled in dreams I can't recognise
Spinning like storms at the back of my head
Once in a while swinging pendulously by
Hung from the clock that counts down to my death

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs. gebs
Seattle’s Laden captures the storm and stress of the greatest, grimmest post-metal, crafting songs from 20-megaton riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2022
The new album from Cult of Luna is full of the same epic, sweeping post-metal for which they've become known. Riffs & atmospherics abound. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 22, 2021
