shallow screams hidden in shadow
seek exposed entry
distant, incessant droning draws near
pestilent flies gather and breed
eclipsed clarity shelters the swarm
harboring larvae of insanity
buried – writhing layers of thoughts
breeding – stinging contradiction
breaking – scraping and clawing
breathing – nauseating secretion
compulsive desperation
feeds manic destruction
grasping and ripping
shredded layers tear and fade
pushing free of suffocating intrusions
only to be torn away by echoing screams of madness and delusion
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
