lyrics
I take a walk through this forest
Until I reach the bark where we carved our names
A climbing trunk with no branches
Reaching outward still stands tall all the same
The skyline is overgrown
We’re reaching for sunlight to carve out a home
I walk through these piles of dead leaves
I drag my feet through memories
I take a flame to my limbs
Burning, these ashes they take to the wind
This single burning pyre
Won’t be a catalyst for a forest fire
The canopy overhead
Consumes all sunlight
Raining down the dead
The forest floor
Turns day into night
And as we grow
Nature/nurture shows
The scars we couldn’t see
How could I live to know
This twisted trunk
Has grown crooked because of me
Don’t tell me
This is a sorry state
When I know
These branches can’t hold the weight
My imperfections run through the rings
Every layer repeating the flaws of my sins
I’m ending a legacy here
Keeping this patch of forest clear
Until I reach the bark where we carved our names
A climbing trunk with no branches
Reaching outward still stands tall all the same
The skyline is overgrown
We’re reaching for sunlight to carve out a home
I walk through these piles of dead leaves
I drag my feet through memories
I take a flame to my limbs
Burning, these ashes they take to the wind
This single burning pyre
Won’t be a catalyst for a forest fire
The canopy overhead
Consumes all sunlight
Raining down the dead
The forest floor
Turns day into night
And as we grow
Nature/nurture shows
The scars we couldn’t see
How could I live to know
This twisted trunk
Has grown crooked because of me
Don’t tell me
This is a sorry state
When I know
These branches can’t hold the weight
My imperfections run through the rings
Every layer repeating the flaws of my sins
I’m ending a legacy here
Keeping this patch of forest clear

KOMBAT - NEW DIMENSIONS OF PAIN

This is some seriously good old school death thrash! Every track tells its own story, some leaning more towards thrash, others towards death. I felt transported to the early 90s, back when I was still finding out about the more extreme sides of metal, and shit, that felt good!

Expected this to be a screamo record since it's on Miss The Stars, but it's more of an ambient/post-rock release. Reminds me a little of the era of early Sufjan Stevens without the annoying stuff. Really good music for studying, staring out the window on a rainy day, etc.

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great!
