lyrics
i can’t escape the
darkness
it turns out everything is bullshit
egregious, self-satisfied
but i’ve been trying not to think like that, no…
…i gotta be positive
there’s a lotta good things about life
whoah oh
it’s been a helluva ride so far
and there’s still more to go
i’ve been tryin' for a while, can’t even bring myself to smile
it’s like dyin' for a cause that i do not believe in
i try to understand the light, i try to fall asleep at night
i’m givin’er all she’s got- and i don’t wanna fail
but i need some
darkness
after all these years, i’d been hoping for a
glimpse of the other side
i spent a lotta time on the good stuff
just to learn well maybe that’s not my ride
i try and try and try and try
and then it all starts over again
i ask myself why
why do i even pretend?
i was trying for a minute, but that was before i found sin &
now that i have i’m not sure i wanna go back again
i tried to understand the light, never fell asleep at night
i did what i could with what i had
but i gotta have
darkness
now the time has come- day is on the run
night has fallen and for good, just like i always knew it would
hope you said goodbye to light
because it’s in the past- it was never going to last
now the sky is black and everything’s falling down
life is like a lost & found
sometimes you get lucky
(and the world is black)
how can i feel this way? i thought the light was here to stay
but now the darkness da da da darkness
here for good- i knew it would
but i thought i might have light...
...i will have
darkness
darkness
it turns out everything is bullshit
egregious, self-satisfied
but i’ve been trying not to think like that, no…
…i gotta be positive
there’s a lotta good things about life
whoah oh
it’s been a helluva ride so far
and there’s still more to go
i’ve been tryin' for a while, can’t even bring myself to smile
it’s like dyin' for a cause that i do not believe in
i try to understand the light, i try to fall asleep at night
i’m givin’er all she’s got- and i don’t wanna fail
but i need some
darkness
after all these years, i’d been hoping for a
glimpse of the other side
i spent a lotta time on the good stuff
just to learn well maybe that’s not my ride
i try and try and try and try
and then it all starts over again

i was trying for a minute, but that was before i found sin &
now that i have i’m not sure i wanna go back again

about
Nekrogoblikon Los Angeles, California
What happens when you put a bunch of bloodthirsty, music-loving goblins together? Well, a lot of disembowelment, but also a lot of catchy tunes. Formed six millennia ago, and practicing only every other leap year on a full moon, the band has perfected their brand of crushing goblin music. ... more

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.

Disco Inferno is the best synthwave-esque track I've ever heard, and that says a lot.
