lyrics

Shriek with a breath of God, but I am only a man –
The sin is null when the word is grey, isolation again.
Said the cardinal to the apostate: “I’m inclined to agree,”
“Our adversary is sheathed in totality, not in creed.”

He was shaken by devotion, and kin before faith –
Like warm blood to dead, unfeeling fingers.
He was shaken by devotion, and kin before faith –
Execration without purpose, a ghost that lingers.

In secession – I am the wayward Gabriel, instead whispering the voice of man.

But I lament the failures of such a tragic ape,
Who gave man, woman, and gods their ugly shape.
Never to love again, prisoners of an eternal divorce –
Dichotomies of the divine, governed in ethereal sores.

PASSAGE/It Never Happened Split

Intelligent, compassionate, unrestrained, socially-conscious XXX hardcore from NYC. FFO: Earth Crisis, Battery, Envy, Green Anarchism, 90s hardcore with a flair of the modern and a hint of crust. Annulment

MMXIV
by Jukai

Dark, downtuned jams from Long Island, NY. Tastefully heavy and full of an abrasive aural nostalgia for the 90s. FFO: Disembodied, Harvest, Ringworm; late 90s metalcore. Ruthlessly heavy and filthy. Annulment
