Nothing left
We all choke on each other, craving for ratification
Collapsing the collective lung, caused by emotional deflation
We've got the cancer, all together we're sick to the bone
A gigant malignant growth, all together we're left alone
Hollow turn holy, we're well on our way
Holy turn hollow, what’s left to say
Hollow turn holy, we fade into gray
Holy turn hollow, we're going astray
Uncertainty
I’m Striving to find where to berth, is excellence to much to ask
Where would I put all my trophies, have to put my worth on display
The narcissistic grin in the mirror makes me feel betrayed
You won’t last for long
Severely addicted to your own significance
Contaminated veins
There’s nothing left to see
There’s nothing left for me

Uncertain Answer
03:46

|

I’m at least half way - I’m at least half way there
Still not sure where that is
I’m sure I’ll cross the - I’ll cross the finish line
We’re all going there
As if uncertainty was the cancer
Everybody’s looking, looking for the answer
Have you found it? Found it now?
I haven’t found it, I haven’t found it
Not fucking yet
You seem so eager, so eager to get there
Still not sure where that is
Now don’t you worry it’s inevitable
We’re all going there
Some seem to be dead certain of their being
I wish I could see, see what they’re seeing
They Said I had to save my soul
Wash up and get myself clean
But I gave it all to rock n roll
Counterculture and punk routine
But what does it mean?

Surrounded By Plague
04:04
|
|

The nights are getting darker
Lets go to sleep and hope for a new dawn
Digging our graves deeper and deeper
We got lost into the void
So contrived burning it all down that we forgot to sow
So easily infected, in weaken hearts it lies
Surrounded by plague, and now it caught your eye
Nothing to reap so we feed ourselves
Yeah we feed ourselves with fear
Fear from the guts telling the truth, can promise that much
No need to check facts when the truth is in your heart
So easily infected, in weaken hearts it lies
Surrounded by plague, and now it caught your eye
We digged our graves so deep we got lost in the void
Burnt it all down and forgot to sow
Digging our graves deeper and deeper
We got lost burning it all down

Hopplös Hopplöshet
02:29

Jag slår huvudet i väggen gång på gång
Kommer ingenstans ingen nästa nivå
Trampar i skiten som någon annan har lämnat
Vad fan är det här, det var inte så här jag har tänkt
Självförbannelse och efterklokhet är inget jag lär mig av
Trots att jag vet, trots att jag vet
Skjuter allt framför mig igen och igen
Ett hopplöst fall av hopplös hopplöshet
Blundar och önskar att allt ska ordnas
Hoppas att tiden ska bedra sig själv
Söker gnistor i tillfällig lycka
Men när mörkret faller faller det hårt
Förpuppad ångest och sönderriven tid
Allting ska ställas till rätta
Snart så finns det ingen smärta mer
Alla ska ställas inför rätta
Mina egna tankar har gått i baklås
Dom är aldrig till någon nytta när allting känns svårt
Jag hinner aldrig ångra något innan min tid är över
För när mörkret faller faller det hårt

In For The Kill
04:11
|
|

Dazzled by the depth of darkness
Can’t help but it is just so scary
Trying hard to fall to the ground
But there is no rest for the weary
Equipped by life to forage for the herd
A veil of kindness swill
Never will they expect the inevitable
Going straight for the kill
Collecting golden crowns of citations
Mistaking altercation for pure strength
Your self righteous supremacy
Feeble minds will yield at length
A veil of kindness swill
Going straight for the kill

It Might Rumble
02:58
|
|
||
|
As long as the streams are running down
There is no more time to spill
Let’s taunt gloom with lungs full of air
Scream our hearts out in the face of ill
Tilting on the verge to definite end
Standing firm on solid ground
With no distance left to descend
We’re clearly lost lost and found
Just how poor were the worth of the world
If no words of compassion heard
If the wounds of grief had no relief
and obstructions never got blurred

In Case Of Humanity
04:01

The darker your mind, the brighter the stars in your eyes
With burning regrets I stare into that endless night
The tongue slithers in lies
I can’t see how this can be made right
Grief is the price we all pay for devotion
The prospects seems humiliating and unfair
Countless teardrops lost in the ocean
I’ll break my back before I say I can’t bare, it ain’t fair
And can’t be right. Is there no light?
Living graves for the weak and deceased
A tomb of flesh enacted for murdered beasts
An ever growing wound of what seems a bottomless depth
Absence of dignity but not of death
Can you see where the light in darkness lies
Your light grows dark by the losing of my eyes

Barren By Design
03:09
|
|
||
|
Take a look in the mirror to know what failure really looks like
One hollow glance, take it all in in one gaze
Take it all in
We're barren by design
All together devour the lies
No matter what we find
We're barren by design
Our futile attempts to escape
With hope as the only promise that remains
The riches in our pockets will turn into dust
Shut up
Get up
Misplaced trust in the time honoured orthodox
It's our duty, as a matter of course

Black Sails
02:23
|
|
||
|
I’ll be the first one to jump ship
When the water comes pouring in
I didn’t ask to be captain
Never sought to be crowned anything
Set sails, for my unholy grail
Black sails, unholy grail
A definite end to the greatest of scenes
The ground rumbles and I have nowhere to lean
The stage goes dark and there’s no way back
A sense of awareness is what I lack
I never saw this coming all along
With guilt and pleasure it followed me home

Unsound Enough
03:36
|
|
||
|
Bleak on the outside, weak on the inside
But brave enough to lose
Walking on shattered glass
My heart is yours to abuse
Reap from my inside, peel of my outside
No fallout unsound enough
A consistent stream of loss
Unable to fall through the void
Meager enough to pay the cost
Lost on the outside, stale on the inside
No surface left to bruise
There’s no battles left to fight
There’s noone left to accuse
It’s my fault

Last Dance

I’m the metaphor you’ve heard of before
Deceiver disguised as a saviour for the poor
Give me your hand, your values and your heart
I’ll change this fucking waltz to one, two, three, four
So come and dance with me
You better let me lead
Or off with your head and I’ll let you bleed
I got only one of eight on my side
The only logical conclusion is that I rise
Let me be your light let me be your guide
Filled with despise i will reprise
I’ll watch you bleed
You’ll bleed for me
I’m the metaphor you’ve heard of before
Don’t wait for me to knock on your front door

grace.will.fall Jönköping, Sweden
founded at the end of 2002 in Jönköping, Sweden with one simple goal: to play wild hardcore punk rock while having as much fun as possible. Since then, the band has performed hundreds of shows and festivals across Europe, released a bunch of EPs, three albums and the fourth coming just now! ... more

It's Hard To Have Hope
by Svalbard
supported by 4 fans who also own “Barren By Design”
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again.

Another great example of how quarantine positively affected underground musicians.

Another satisfying dose of metallic, sludgy melodic post-hardcore from the Newcastle, Australia-based outfit.

Dark Triad: Bitter Psalms To A Sordid Species
by Epiphanic Truth
supported by 4 fans who also own “Barren By Design”
This album is everything I want from an extreme metal release. Ferocious riffs/blasts with some of the best extreme vocals I've heard in ages contrasted against beautiful atmospheric passages and some exceptional crescendos. This has easily secured it's position in my Top 10 for the year list and may well yet secure top spot. Incredible, incredible album - cannot recommend it highly enough.
