Lives rooted in abominations [1] your fear is found in punishment [4]
Sons breathe in hypocritical mindsets, and exhale broken covenants [5]
King of tremendous majesty, save me oh source of mercy [6]
Do not pass me by [7] Do not abandon me to die
What you've done to the least of my brothers
You have also done unto me [8]

I bought this strictly because it is on a Richmond VA label. Color me surprised! Sludgy, Doomy. Hardcore, Metal, whatever you want to label it, it is good! Also the cover art is pretty sweet! nostd

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
