———————
FROM THE DEPTHS

Praise be the unseen
Ponder not the ocean
So deep
What lies just below the surface
Will steal your sanity
Tainted
Foul unclean
Their lidless eyes
Bulbous unblinking
What lies just below the surface
Will leave you insane

Gaze upon the shoreline
The stench is sickening
Odorous of sea and rot
This place reeks of aquatic disease
When I arrived
on this broken harbor
I hadn't foreseen
the awaiting horrors

Their skin
A sickening slippery green
Almost amphibian
Some bipedal
Others shamble four legged
All armed with teeth
Fit to rip and tear flesh asunder

Desperately I try to hide
I cannot bear the sight
Any longer
Terrorize my feeble mind
Between fight or flight
I'll choose the latter
Frightfully flea for my life
What monstrosity
Would produced such
A wretched spawn?

Their skin
A sickening slippery green
Almost amphibian
Some bipedal
Others shamble four legged
All armed with teeth
Fit to rip and tear flesh asunder

All at once
Restless eyes dart straight to mine
Paralyzed
Stricken deaf
Frozen by fear
Collapsing
To the cobblestone below
What will now become of me?

Praise be the unseen
Ponder not the ocean
So deep
What lies just below the surface
Will steal your sanity
Tainted
Foul unclean
Their lidless eyes
Bulbous unblinking
What lies just below the surface
Will leave you insane

How is nobody talking about the video itself? TONS of work went into this. Thanks for not going into a dimly lit room and flailing your arms everywhere while a hot chick dressed all spooky walks around ambiguously…cue fire…random indoor rain…etc. Y’all went full 6th grade science fair with this video and I love it! 😝

[hannibalcorpse]

That Decapitated vibe at 02:09, awesome! i catched you Rob, haha!
Cheers from Argentina my friends!

[twilightsunset]

This so FIRE I cooked a delicious meal with it.

[EMH-Ascending]

Dude, I know the vocals aren’t for everyone, but good grief you gotta love the instruments here! I don’t give a fuck if you’re a metalhead or not, this rocks, and the music video is very well put together! I wish I could like this more than once.

Technical death metal is my favorite subgenre of metal.. I love all subgenres of metal, but I've been listening to Technical death metal since 2010..

This is going into my Technical death metal playlist.

[WhiskerBiscuit]

That was intense from 0:01 - 4:22. Can not wait for new album, Matricide was killer

[luciferianmanor]

Absolutely Amazing Track! And The Video Is Fantastic! Perfectly Done Guys, Thanks! 🤘🏻🖤👍🏻

[johnmcaulay]

Nice one guys. Can't wait to get new CD.

[AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

This is gnarly, I was pumped to hear what you guys were up to after the last single, but now I'm very excited. Unique Leader always has the right bands, and I have a feeling that this record will further solidify that opinion. Great stuff, those riffs are sick 🔨🪓

[Venom_]

Never heard this band before but I'm glad I did this song stomps

[DeathlessTVofficial]

Song starts at 00:40, thank me later.

This track is great as always boyssss, cannot wait for this album!!

[TopShelf]

I need to see you boys live again. Come through NY! 💣💥🔥

[minimus]

Holy shit this is awesome, just gets better and better 😍

[michaelespinosa]

Please tour with ingested and mental cruelty and destroy every trend like pantera 1996.

[monsta]

reminds me of the 90s MTV videos...like tool n stuff....cool shit guys🤘🏼

[fawzialnazer]

Matricide is one of my all time favorite albums and this shit is as good and brutal hell yeah!!!

[kevinprice]

It's like correspondents meets martyr AD

[NickyHC]

Whoever dislike the video. Are you feeling ok?

[Mdrobile]

another banger from South Jersies finest

[killfox]

I don't think I've ever just stood up in my room and just starting breaking my fucking neck to a song in a long fucking time. Drag me through fucking hell. This shit fucking slays. Cognitive for president.
