We have some damage control to do
One hundred hurricanes to clean up after
Just you wait
Wooden legs will do you no good
When you try to walk on flames
They will burn your substitutions and
Touch your solid skin
You can look back and
See the wrongs made in your trail
Creeping up your veins and
Swimming through you
And the flames are rising
You're sweet on my tongue but
Bitter at the back of my throat
I will swallow my pride
In a hypocritical stance
Go down to the lake and
Wash the poison off your skin and
Try to make yourself
Clean again

Against a grey lit sky
My body aches
Constant noise to break my spirit
It won't take much
This is the tipping point
For her the breaking point
Now the night is setting in
It's like having memories
That I can see through
My eyes won't keep straight
Do you want proof?
This is the tipping point
For her the breaking point
Consider me your enemy
There's no way you'll come back from this
This is the tipping point
For her the breaking point

Lay To Ruin

Pack your suitcase with memories
Wrap them carefully
So they don't break
Place them in a bag
Ready to hold all the problems you have
New faces new people
They won't mean a thing
You're stuck inside your mind
Hot sand walls and twisted trees
Will make you suffer
She says please won't you save me
My problems are eating my insides
I've got my whole life in the making
Her grip slips
As she falls she cries out
If you try to help my dilemmas again
I will take you with me
Fights and arguments will do you no good
It's like I'm floating on
A cloud of black air
That tries to steal my breath
She says please won't you save me
My problems are eating my insides
I've got my whole life in the making
Her grip slips
As she falls she cries out
One more fucking time
I god damn dare you
I will take you with me

Descent

This is it
It's been creeping for a long time
Once I'm gone all you'll have is a rotting crown
No gold or glory just one less life
As I close my eyes
All I can see is galaxies
As I close my eyes
All I can see are frozen memories
This is it
The time has almost come
With no regret I'm drifting slowly down
Into insanity
Oh no
My descent is colourful
Pushing past the unknown
This is it
The time has almost come
With no regrets I'm drifting slowly
Down into insanity
Hands of smoke they
Won't let go of me
Oh no
My descent is colourful
Pushing past the unknown
Oh no
My descent is colourful
All of my stitches come undone
Let's change my shape and
Change my face
Let's mould my personality
Into a breathing stone
Until the water beckons me

Deja Senti

It's cold
I can feel the snow
My senses are failing me
I hear bells and haunting tones
Shots of wind cut my skin
No noise follows
My conscience is working fine
How would I know?
You will learn how hard
This endeavour will be
After it happens
You can't take it back
I can feel where my skin ends
And the water begins
Silky fabrics flow
Dancing in waves below
Shots of wind cut my skin
No noise follows
My conscience is working fine
How would I know?
Cascades of white fill my lungs
With frozen air
I'm floating deep down
As orbs like mirrors
Kiss oxygen goodbye
So cold
A gentle breeze
Will send me numb
There's no more air
Nothing I can grasp down here
Your poison words
Can't swim this deep
They can't get to me
As I'm floating deep down
My conscience is working fine
How would I know?
There is no revenge
So complete as forgiveness
I'm finally gone
The water I feel no more
My last breath fails
The water I feel no more
It's cold outside
I can't feel the snow anymore

Dyssidia Adelaide, Australia
Part of the rising cohort of world-class Australian progressive metal, Dyssidia have crafted a unique sound amongst their
peers, combining bone-crushing riffs with rich harmonies, soaring vocal melodies with brutal growls and breathtaking soundscapes with intricate rhythms.
Following 3 EPs, Dyssidia released their epic hour-long full length album in March 2020. Next album due in early 2024.

Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic
by The Ocean
supported by 13 fans who also own “Quiet Waters”
J'admire les groupes capables de suivre une feuille de route déterminée (et encore plus de s'y tenir) : Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic aura droit à un successeur qui sortira dans deux ans — un délai qui paraît généreux. De l'autre côté, créer quelque chose d'aussi extraordinaire que ce premier volet en aussi peu de temps, c'est surhumain. Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic est sombre et cataclysmique, The Ocean revient sur un post-metal oppressant sans être dénué de grâce. The Ocean offre toujours plus !

I remember hearing this album way back when it just came out, listening to it on YT on repeat. And now I have it in 2022 on CD! Excellent for fans of prog metal, with a nice balance of genres.

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun
supported by 11 fans who also own “Quiet Waters”
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here.
