Alienism (feat. Mark Iannelli)

lyrics
You have crossed a fine line
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
You have crossed a fine line
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
It shimmers like diamonds
In the light of life
It shines like gold
Watching these glass palms shatter
Welcome to the modern realm
We're all just pawns to rooks
[All of you, your greed destroyed you,
You burnt these torn up pages,
And showered this world in ink,
Silence your fucking greed with these words]
Reclaim the fucking throne
You have crossed a fine line
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
Reclaim the fucking throne
You have crossed a fine line
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
Fuck your demands
Have pity on these broken hands
Fuck your demands
Let these fires burn
Break the fucking mold
Humanity is not yours to mold
(Not yours to mold)
Release your stranglehold
(Release your hold)
Humanity is not yours to mold
(Not yours to mold)
Release your stranglehold
(Release your hold)
Humanity is not your to mold
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
You have crossed a fine line
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
It shimmers like diamonds
In the light of life
It shines like gold
Watching these glass palms shatter
Welcome to the modern realm
We're all just pawns to rooks
[All of you, your greed destroyed you,
You burnt these torn up pages,
And showered this world in ink,
Silence your fucking greed with these words]
Reclaim the fucking throne
You have crossed a fine line
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
Reclaim the fucking throne
You have crossed a fine line
Lining your pockets with blood and sweat
You filthy souls
Fuck your demands
Have pity on these broken hands
Fuck your demands
Let these fires burn
Break the fucking mold
Humanity is not yours to mold
(Not yours to mold)
Release your stranglehold
(Release your hold)
Humanity is not yours to mold
(Not yours to mold)
Release your stranglehold
(Release your hold)
Humanity is not your to mold

Through My Eyes's long awaited full-length album Victoria was well worth the wait! An amazingly heavy hitting record which mixes progressive death metal with big symphonic inspirations.

Wretched Existence
by Before The Harvestsupported by 4 fans who also own “Alienism (feat. Mark Iannelli)”
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed.

Been listening to this since 2013. Eventually tried to track down a CD but now I'm starting to go digital. So, has 7 years of listening to this EP dulled the experience? Not even slightly. Amazing work. From Nathan's ghost beats on the snare, polyrhythmic measures and insane kick pedal work, Eric's unique tone on vocals and both Aaron and Josh's melodies and interesting structures. Just hope they get the chance to tour England soon.

Great stuff. Really can't get enough of this groovy spacey magic. Brutal and beautiful. 10/10 would bang. Looking forward to the next release!
