Asbestin A true gem that deserves much more recognition and should be a cult classic in vein of 'Grace' by Adorn. In the world of copycats, it shows that mixing shoegaze, metal and who knows what else can still surprise and astonish. Made with a very clear vision as a concept album of sorts - the theme works brilliantly, connecting music and the story. Favorite track: Castle in the Sea.

DonnieDarko If you like screamo/emo/experimental stuff with an amazing singer and full of brilliant ideas, this is a must buy, it is one of my alltime favourite albums.

Welcome Sun 01:40
Here I enter Stranger to a chance The Sun it scorches Distant holy lance Come now, unafraid Forward towards your dreams Exhausted, looking back My home swept in the sea All is under Buried beneath the waves God peers over Victims to his rage

I lost my faith yesterday There’s nothing left I can return These islands are mystified Abandoned a pillar to mourn The dogs of war are limping now The blood trails mixed with their own sweat This generation's tired I fear they may already be dead let ‘em burn let ‘em burn let ‘em burn let ‘em burn

Ryujin 03:52
Your presence is haunting With power to rule these waves Your spirit is mighty Burdened with endless pain I come here before you Guided by fear and blood I can not defeat you My vengeance blocked from above Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on You say you're amoral React to environments That man is a virus Sent here to plague your kin Show some restraint now I know that we can be saved They’ll listen to reason So long as they’re not afraid. Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on Fear me Fear me Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on

These days are sacred but I sit idly by The light diminishes before I am even awake Meaningless I grasp for meaning Dreams aren't shattered so much as they are slowly left to rot The infection causes neurosis, an unsettled mind sleeps to eagerly Sleep is the poor man's respite, passions too difficult to attempt I am left to fill my void with materials, the phone is charged and ready Packages arrive at the door, I justify, as i slowly fade away Your body to me Your body to me God grant me serenity Grant me the fortitude Create within my will God grant me the courage Grant me the discipline Achieve these naive dreams I am too afraid to go against the grain, the consensus has spoken for me It feels too young to linger, too late to evolve The sun, warm and inviting, steals my energy as I relax Eyelids drip while a feeble mind scrambles for more I am afraid to eliminate the ego for I fear it leads to death My salvation lies in abandonment, but my conscious will not submit If the world is sin then I am the rain that seeks its growth But something can be said of comfort, my comrade to the grave Your body to me Your body to me God grant me serenity Grant me the fortitude Create within my will God grant me the courage Grant me the discipline Achieve these naive dreams

The Red Moon 07:02
Moon tonight Omen to me Your arms I lay Fiction from the wave Succumb to me This is the hour You long for strength Your higher power Dark is near Fight with my will I gaze to the sky Falling, can I die? Succumb to me This is the hour You long for truth Your higher power Succumb to me This is the hour You long for love Your higher power
