I suspend in a realm
bound by flesh afloat
a sea of hands –
tugging
choking
snapping bones
In the end,
there will a be a victor in this duality
released into the arms of eternal rest
or split in half, scattered amongst those seeking it.
A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck. Bandcamp New & Notable May 19, 2021
