lyrics
Light
Illuminates the sky
Vulgar rays spread like snakes slithering
Upon the fleeting clouds
The time has come
To tame the elements
And place the reigns upon nature
Hands reaching toward the heavens
To bring them down
A cabal of intellect gathers
Arrogant hearts and ambition fomenting
A plague of astonishment blooms
A bitter flower shedding putrid petals
Cutting the air in their salacious sway
They sing a whispered song, virulent
Heralding the demise of all things
The mental gifts bestowed upon My children
Lead to unceasing greed and destruction
Their machines facing the welkin
Babel’s tower reconstructed
A bitter flower shedding putrid petals
Cutting the air in their salacious sway
They sing a whispered song, virulent
Heralding the demise of all things
Behold the stalwart figure of metal and wire entwined
An infernal image of mangled sinew and ligaments
An unsightly creature indeed
Illuminates the sky
Vulgar rays spread like snakes slithering
Upon the fleeting clouds
The time has come
To tame the elements
And place the reigns upon nature
Hands reaching toward the heavens
To bring them down
A cabal of intellect gathers
Arrogant hearts and ambition fomenting
A plague of astonishment blooms
A bitter flower shedding putrid petals
Cutting the air in their salacious sway
They sing a whispered song, virulent
Heralding the demise of all things
The mental gifts bestowed upon My children
Lead to unceasing greed and destruction
Their machines facing the welkin
Babel’s tower reconstructed
A bitter flower shedding putrid petals
Cutting the air in their salacious sway
They sing a whispered song, virulent
Heralding the demise of all things
Behold the stalwart figure of metal and wire entwined
An infernal image of mangled sinew and ligaments
An unsightly creature indeed

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!

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.
