Collapse 04:26
An endless soul A dying soul There is no ending and no beginning An endless soul A dying soul A current rises and falls like the tide An endless soul A dying soul Time is a circle repeating itself An endless soul A dying soul Narrow perceptions that these are our lives So as we rise from the ashes Our true selves will emerge And when the walls start falling down We pray for the same thing Collapse An endless soul A dying soul Narrow perceptions that these are our lives So as we rise from the ashes Our true selves will emerge And as walls start falling down We all pray for the same thing Ten thousand voices cry out, ten thousand souls released and they are all praying for the same thing Disciples, praying

Revenant 05:18
Consecrated, death on hallowed ground Once returned back to the earth. There's no damnation, the soul has been released A funeral pyre ignites, burning so bright. A light in the the darkness beacons me home. Chaos is calling, fire burns cold. A desecration, to disrespect the dead But dead is dead, rotting away An empty vestal, it's wounds will never heal The soul has passed through the window... Light in the darkness beacons me home. Chaos is calling, fire burns cold. See that flesh is just a curse trapped inside Skin an earthly prison of sin death is freedom No we cannot escape, death is rebirth Die and we will be reborn even stronger

Bereavement 04:07
Sorrow and the process of bereavement Lost faith, the denial, the deception Beloved torn asunder and ripped away Kneel down, hang your head if grief Sorrow, tears of mourning Shed in grief, loss Fading, life through my hands Strands of time, gone Life is lost, our perception A grand divide, opens Follow, trails of ruin Into light, darkness Our denial is a weakness, our fate... Cut through my skin And you will not find my soul What you are looking for is not here It's a matter of perception What we can't see is real.... Our perception of the ending Our denial is a weakness Sorrow, years of mourning shed in grief

Rot 07:27
All is quiet through endless night Final peace in the dark Born to die endless night We return to the fold All you have done had been done before And will be done again... Holy sacred we are crucified passing judgment in our lives Life is endless for death feeds life We return to the fold So when I die bury me here with no casket or trinkets from life I'll decompose into the earth So the cycle is whole Holy sacred we are crucified In the passing of light Holy sacred is blood red skies Final peace in the dark Endless cycles of passing time light from darkness as death feeds life Born to die in endless time We return to the fold. As we rot we feed the earth As blood is spilled life returns We give ourselves back to the earth So the cycle is whole Holy sacred we are crucified In the passing of light Holy sacred is blood red skies Final peace in the dark Endless cycles passing time With strange eons death dies All is rotting we are born to die With strange eons death may die... All you have done has been done before And will be done again Born to die endless life...

Allfather 06:22
Seek, see, rise, fall Weep, pray, loose faith Allfather we bid you to rise Your children have lost their way Your shadow engulfs us all It's darkness obscures our flame We breed, destroy and consume We rise to fall, the serpent calls Not created, merely transformed Not destroyed, merely transformed The seeker of truth loses faith, in quest of oblivion The path is now ours to take, unending The sleeper awakens to see, the dream is forgotten The two worlds now hidden from sight, subconscious The father of all is asleep, now we are forgotten The dreamer that gives us strength, allfather The serpent is eating its tail, ouroboros rising This unending path is the world eater The sleeper awakens The dream is forgotten The two worlds are hidden from sight An unending pathway Right of passage In blood Unknowing Unseeing World eater arise

Veil 06:38
Sacrificial lamb to die On the altar under the knife Blood is spilled yet nothing is gained Offerings made by mortal man Dead on the altar, I learn to see This is an illusion, pull back the veil All we know is a lie We believe we are going to die Loose your ego and sense of self Death is faceless and so am I... Dead on the altar I learn to see This is an illusion pull back the veil No words can express what we don't know We try to comprehend life without an end There's no ego, there's no self in the end no face, no name You are not you You are the ending Nothing

about

After two critically beloved records on Seventh Rule and Profound Lore ATRIARCH make their Relapse debut with their finest moment yet. Blending death rock, doom, black metal, punk and psychedelic drone/noise ATRIARCH immediately establish themselves as one of the most creative and compelling heavy-music bands of the 21st century. Imagine Bauhaus as covered by Eyehategod, or Sisters of Mercy filtered through Neurosis, and you start to get the picture of what ATRIARCH has achieved on their new record. Once every few years a band comes along that takes the familiar and creates something wholly new. ATRIARCH have done just that with An Unending Pathway.
