Wretched Stimulation

The craving succubus
The temptress draws him in with deceptive, shallow leisure
These impulsive choices lead him to suffering he cannot measure
Safe within her blackened wings
Basking in euphoric touch
Hallow fantasies fulfilled
He revels in his shattered will
No hope, no love
The painting smear
Emotions disapear
Descend in to cupidity
Soon to dwell in depravity
An endless pit of agony
Where satisfactions cease to be
A new era of pain
Only to return again
Reaping nor fortune or fame
Is mission deemed insane
Sick with lust and suppressed carnal intent
His indulgence in desires leads him to lethal punishment
Binging and purging
Blazing a path to Damnation
He cannot escape the wretched stimulation
Seething and writhing
Rotting in his shame
Decaying betraying
And digging his own grave
[Solo: N. Vowell]
[Solo: D. Palenske]

No love

False Awakening
05:06

The curse of life - Now bear the vast unknowing
Dwell in the endless void of uncertainty
Existence is the prime mystery we behold
The truth bereft - veracity remains untold
Bound to this labarynth, an endless maze ambivalent
Drowning, directionless race
We'll never wake from this miserable reverie
Relentlessly fucked by those who throw masquerade
Decay in the trance of a failed deity who's long since perished
The gods have left us to rot
Sever ties to a world slave to these aincient creeds
We must break free from this false awakening
Retaliation of fathomless oppression
Heedless deeds of depraved procession
They pull the strings, they blind our eyes
While they take everything, liberty bastardized
[Solo: D. Palenske]
Lost forever in what feels like end everlasting dream
Laced with treachery, reality not what it seems
Denied passage to a new age of prosperity
We choke beneath the profits of the self proclaimed elite
Spiral. Distance. Descent. Denial. Fate (X2)
We must break free from this false awakening
[Solo: N. Vowell]
[Guest Solo: Malcolm Pugh]

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

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.
