The final strokes are made upon the canvas
completing my life's work sprung from chosen isolation
My relatives are watching me from afar
from a safe distance where I have kept them over the years
They could never understand my passion
or cope with the fact of how driven I am
Determination has been the spark in my life
and has kept me balanced through creative ups and downs
I feel that art has chosen me
and I am merely a puppet in its grasp
Fulfilling me, a soul in bloom
An old vessel filled with the breath of life
Sudden anxiety is washing over me
I have spilt everything to complete this painting
and yet again I stand with nothing
- the weight of an empty canvas on my soul
Many times I have faced this
and sometimes the struggle gets hard
I've been taking it out on people once close to me
until I've managed focus again
I live my life the way I must,
but I've sacrificed a lot
I barely speak to my wife anymore
and I am a stranger to my own children
I could never make them understand
and I surrendered that thought years ago
I've become my own martyr and I know my loss

These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024

Pretty much anything Carl touches I'll love, and this is no exception. Black metal with a good a texture and production is a priceless combination. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
