about
Consumed a journey to find solace
Caught between my deception
I'm caught between worlds
Caught in between security
Hands like crows
Circle my throat
Feast upon my eyes
I've searched my mind
I've purged it new
All of your doubts
Destroyed you
I scourge my mind
Of these burdens and purged myself new
I've lost all time to these burdens
That hold myself through
Left broken and bruised
We're all being used
Will you ever let me breathe
With blackened lungs?
How can I believe,
This house breathes,
When family bellows disdain?
Destined to fail!
No one ever believed in me
They said to me
'Put on your suit and your tie
Just follow in line
Put your life aside'
Put your life aside
You're not even
Worth the time
Put your life aside
You're not worth even worth (The time)
Even with your dollars and dimes
Put your life aside
(You're not even worth) The time
I scourge my mind of these burdens and purged myself new
I've lost all time to these burdens
That have held me through
Caught between my deception
I'm caught between worlds
Caught in between security
Hands like crows
Circle my throat
Feast upon my eyes
I've searched my mind
I've purged it new
All of your doubts
Destroyed you
I scourge my mind
Of these burdens and purged myself new
I've lost all time to these burdens
That hold myself through
Left broken and bruised
We're all being used
Will you ever let me breathe
With blackened lungs?
How can I believe,
This house breathes,
When family bellows disdain?
Destined to fail!
No one ever believed in me
They said to me
'Put on your suit and your tie
Just follow in line
Put your life aside'
Put your life aside
You're not even
Worth the time
Put your life aside
You're not worth even worth (The time)
Even with your dollars and dimes
Put your life aside
(You're not even worth) The time
I scourge my mind of these burdens and purged myself new
I've lost all time to these burdens
That have held me through

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 “Defaulter”
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!
