1.	The Darkest Side Of Truth 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Dwelt in darkness and fear, the answers are before us, if only we allow ourselves to see them. Have you wandered so far off the path to not even realize who you are? Have you crawled so deep inside mankind’s deepest sorrow to still not see the truth? Dear god..will you cease to see thee truth, o’ foolish one? From thee, are yours to claim, are yours to grief. These sins are yours to grief. Have you wandered so far off the path to not even realize who you are? Have you crawled so deep inside mankind’s deepest sorrow to still not see the true destruction? Dwelt in darkness and fear we seek repentance, we seek mercy from the seer. The answers are before us if only we allow ourselves to see hope in the hands of death. If we allow ourselves in the hands of death. I am not truth…the truth is me, I am not death…death is me. We are blind, we are blind t’ill the end of time. A shroud of mist that brings only pain. Dear god…will you cease to see thee truth, o’ foolish one? From thee.. We came to claim thy resentence. Dwelt in darkness and fear we seek repentance, we seek mercy from the seer. The answers are before us if only we allow ourselves to see hope in the hands of death.
2.	A(LIE)VE 04:49	lyrics	buy track
I feel alive, even though I know this fire burns me dead, I feel alive, even though I know it feeds off my regret. Diminish the struggle of my never ending self-destructive fears and sickening strives, This intrusive self-distrust exterminates my sense of self. Uncertainty, the equilibrium of despair and uneven distress, Falling in line with the frustration of life’s urge for misery. Life’s urge for misery. Self inflicted torment, follows me to the grave. It cuts my throat, It burns my wounds. I have become an anguished tyrant to myself. Diminish the struggle of my never ending self-destructive fears and sickening strives, This intrusive self-distrust exterminates my sense of self. Uncertainty, the equilibrium of despair and uneven distress, Falling in line with the frustration of life’s urge for misery. Life’s urge for misery. Release me from shame. Release me from pain. How can oneself survive the ache that crawls within? How can oneself hate to the point of endless regret? Self inflicted torment, follows me to the grave. It cuts my throat, It burns my wounds. I have become an anguished tyrant to myself. I feel alive. Relieve my urge and end my misery. Relieve my urge and end my misery. Relieve my urge and end my misery. My misery.
3.	Cleansed Soul 05:35	lyrics	buy track
When the moon rises and we cease to exist in this unholy heaven. It grows and it grows. How can I stop this foolish feeling? Until the sun falls from the sky and heaven burns in conflagration, Can I see the light glowing through these creeks of fulfillness? Would you live, If I didn’t break through these walls of forgiveness? Would you live, if I didn’t cut through the silence and repression? I’m still unworthy of a cleansed soul. I’m still unsure if I’m safe from myself. I’m still unworthy of a cleansed soul. I’m still a victim of my own hell. I can feel the ashes, they burn, they burn, these ashes burn my soul. Until the sun falls from the sky and heaven burns in conflagration, Can I see the light glowing through these creeks of fulfillness? No. I’m still unworthy of a cleansed soul. My sins will burn this world whole. They burn, they burn, they burn The ashes burn my soul Would you live, If I didn’t break through these walls of forgiveness? Would you live, if I didn’t cut through the silence and repression? I’m still unworthy of a cleansed soul. I’m still unsure if I’m safe from myself. I’m still unworthy of a cleansed soul. I’m still a victim of my own hell.
4.	Glass Vest 05:29	lyrics	buy track
Fragile father. Deadly war machine. Under the cover of darkness I saw my vest reflect in your eyes. Broken and distressed, frozen to the bone, I came to follow the light. Despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better. Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness. Demised, tyrannized, I was solemnly born to survive. A child solemnly born to survive. Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence? Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better? Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness. Lost and hopeless, I was solemnly born to survive. All I am, a soldier ready to give in. How much must I bleed and bleed to understand the war I live in. All I have, a glass vest tight to my chest. Eternal strive for forgiveness, whilst no future can erase the past. “War had no mercy, not a single unaffected soul. I sorrowed the death of a battalion, oh they weeped as I held them in my hands. Eternally wounded and incapable of affection. I felt no fear, felt no shame, I felt nothing. I no more nourish life.. I shall never bleed the same.” I’m sorry, for I shall never bleed the same. It’s naught but an inhumane fate, to carry the weight of a dying world. I fought for nothing, and lost everything. I carried the weight of a dying world. Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence? Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair?
5.	Underworld Of Broken Memories 04:36	lyrics	buy track
It screams and screams, it calls me when I’m in my weakest dreams. These dreadful shadows that drag me inside the deepest hole in my mind, The fear of being surrounded by a misplaced broken image of myself. The pain of being at the edge of knowing who I really am. They are present, they exist. They are my hunger to be finally at peace. Mind exposed to the realm of hell, such are my wounds, my sins, my hatred. A lonely memory, under loved and soaked in sadness. They are present, they exist. They are my hunger to be finally at peace. At times I’ve deceived myself into thinking I’m no better than the darkness that forsakes me. That I’m no better than these shadows that follow me. So desperate, so hopeless, it forsakes me like a memory, lost. Engulfed by desperation, I’m forced to look upon my deepest wounds My mind speaks in tongues. It consumes my soul, it drags me from above. It carries my sins, It crawls within. It creeps inside and leaves my heart unseen. This prison crawled with lost memories. I’m stuck in a dream, I’m hanging beyond reality. I’m hanging beyond insanity. A daunting path to realize I’m extravagant in my weakness. Such are my wounds, my sins, my hatred. Why am I not overlooked for my Insignificance? Why does it follow me to the realm of darkness time and time again? Why? Only to expose my wounded soul, only to justify my broken heart. At times I’ve deceived myself into thinking I’m no better than the darkness that forsakes me. That I’m no better than these shadows that follow me. So desperate, so hopeless, it forsakes me like a memory.. lost. Engulfed by desperation, I’m forced to look upon my deepest wounds My mind speaks in tongues.

Before Ashen, I thought they were overrated. Deathcore bands seem to have a capacity to evolve quickly. I’ve seen quite a few bands in this genre grow exponentially from one album to the next, and Ashen is a particularly strong example. Metallurgical Fire

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. Gruso
