Poesy Rider Tout le monde connaît le death metal old school : Il s'agit souvent de vieux metalleux (Memoriam par exemple) qui font donc du vieux death metal, disons à la mode du début des 90's. Tout cela pour dire que ce Asunder serait plutôt du classic death metal, car il n'est ni moderne ni old school. à voir avec la suite... Favorite track: Conqueror.
MindOverFour

MindOverFour In my list for quite a while, their new ep convinced me to get them. Super advanced progressive death metal. Not simply "tech brutality"--there is a real range reaching from Cynic and Opeth to all your classics of Canadian death metal. Favorite track: Solar.

King Jonas the Humble I really liked Derelict (see below) and this is their front mans next project. Samskara delivers similarly intense metal, but with a slightly more modern "core" sound but without yielding to stereotypes. Samskara demands a good dose headbanging and I'm happy to provide. 4/5 frenetic whammy bars. Favorite track: Fuelscape.

Fuelscape 03:38
Digesting images of obtuse ends Pieces of puzzles we must not assemble Drilling, endless holes Catalyzing flesh Hate-lust for grey desolate landscapes Labyrinth of rationalization Constructing these vast alien soils Trickle-down karmic fallout waves Engineering clouds only to stave off the burn See how easy it is to destroy a planet I see the Earth crumbling I crave nothing of this Under a hearth collapsing Sheltered but unprotected I feel shame and doubt Our names will not ring out Fire dancers seeking to call rain Dreaming of vibrant drought-gone hues Reaping our liquid black harvest Dry, toxic, bitter, hateful, selfish All this wasted time All this wasted life Now, this is all mine

Solar 03:30
Ra! The ancients were looking in the right direction Their eyes were solar bound In lore they left us with the right connections Their gods were solar bound These conscious vessels, extra-systemic Ever in conflict with an evolved nature A hidden message swaying gently in the breeze The greenest of our kin drink directly from the sun Peer through a gateway to a clear perspective Your thoughts are solar bound Glimpse a vision of our true potential Our hearts are solar bound As we reflect upon the blind destruction of the past These rays keep on giving Free to evolve beyond this flesh and rock and ash Towards cosmic living The histories reveal our slow progression When minds were fossil bound Select few visionaries shattered conventions Their dreams were solar bound

Separate 04:06
Am I more than my name? Can I transcend through accomplishments? Immersed in self, fully separate Engrossed in craving others We are born into solitude Fundamentally divided Uprooted from the source of all being But this is only temporary I feel a longing for your touch Can you please spare a moment to kick me directly in the teeth? What has individuality achieved for us? Are we really so elevated? Through constant conflict and competition Our potential is debased All existence is love or war And the choice is ours Tear my heart out through my ribs See? Now we're together Paint my face clear with your spit Please, I will always listen I feel a longing for your love But it seems that I will continue walking down this path alone

Conqueror 04:14
Seize the world for all it's worth Every inch of this planet Earth There are no rules, nothing's preset Your only masters are those you accept Open your eyes, there is no clear predefined path Your own two feet and your courage are all that you have Strength, resolve, focus, openness, presence of mind Harness all these and claim victory every time Forget destiny and reject fate Behold! Your kingdom is what you create Seek no privilege, collect no gifts Build your own power and consecrate it Some claim limitations are their birthright To these then I offer this insight: You will only achieve what you strive for Know that the universe could have been yours No one holds the keys to your prison You must choose to emancipate yourself Many voices will seek to make you forget That nothing stands in your way Except your self This is all yours

about

Asunder explores the positive and negative paths that humans can take, pitting self-destruction against salvation, both on a personal level and on the scale of civilization.
