Zachary Chapel My favorite melodic hardcore release to date. These guys really grow on you. Love the cover art too.

Morts Well-performed melodic metal that may not stand out from the plethora of comtemporaries that exist in the metalcore world except for a couple of things. The songs do actually have tunefulness to them rather than sounding like garbled noise and the unusual (almost unheard of in this genre, in fact) use of gang vocals providing harmonic support - and it works really well! It also helps relieve the relentlessness of the shouty lead vocals. Other metalcore bands take note! Favorite track: Smoke Signals.

I am all that's left When the smoke has cleared and the embers have died I am all that's left Left to rise from the ashes of a fiery past Now burnt out I am all that's left My mind races to places once lost Burned out in the back of my head The smoke whispers secrets told long ago Secrets, lost to the wind I am lost to the wind Ashes to ashes Dust to dust It's not that easy to forget the past Ashes to ashes And dust to dust Its just not that easy, to turn your back on the past These secrets burn so deep Into my heart, into my mind Until they take over my life Consuming all, control my mind So now i live a constant lie Let me be, just set me free From secrets bound so close to me Constricting now, struggle to breathe With smoke so thick i can not see Smoke so think i can not breathe I am all that's left

When all i have is flesh and bone I look to you and find the truth My flesh is scarred My bones are broken I'm not the man i was before I locked my heart behind closed doors And though my blood runs thin My heart still beats Life clings to me like a disease A sickness i can not treat Release me Cast aside these chains Release me Let death claim me One thing you can never hide Is when you're crippled inside But i wear that mask so well And it kills me That you can live your life Blind in your ignorance Like nothing every happened While every day i sit and wait I wait to forget These memories etched in my skin While every day i sit and wait For this pain to end Trapped inside my mind I long for an escape We could of had it all My mind fatigued i can not breath And now there's nothing left Restless eyes how can i survive So this is what it feels like How did i end up in this mess So this is what it feels like That feeling rising in my chest So this is what it feels like To fucking wish you were dead

Hierarchy 03:09
You were born to live until your final days You were born to love, unconditionally So live your life with pride And love with all your heart It's the one chance you've got It's the one chance we've got You're here to live not to survive Our time is short so live your life And when your days run thin Don't cry to me You're all so weak To blindy follow A world without a care Fuck your narrow mind Just open up your eyes And witness the reality Born free of obligation You have no direction A path to mould yourself Inifinite possibilities Endless heights to reach And yet you fall right at their feet And so i beg of you Flee the shadows Before your bright eyes fade And so i beg of you Flee their shadows Or start digging your own grave Staring at the ceiling Wondering where i went wrong My life was cut so short And yet i've been here so long I'm running out of time I'll scramble my goodbyes To everyone i've loved I'll miss you all so much Fragile walls close in on me Make do without the space If i could do it all again I'd change everything I could have been the one to walk in the sun But the world is such a dark place now So as the rain clouds gather overhead I say goodbye blue skies

Gray Matter 03:35
I've been searching for the right words but all night they have eluded me But now i finally have them you are nowhere to be seen and so i scream Just take my hand I'll lead the way I promise you we'll make it through the day But you never heard And i'll never learn This is no way to live This is no way to live But you never heard And i'll never learn This is no way to live This is no way to live So now i stand here once again just waiting for this pain to end Your unrelenting gale force winds batter my shelters i'll never let you in NOTHING'S WHAT IT SEEMS In this world of hate this world of lies Nothing's what it seems and it sickens me Days escape us As quickly as a setting sun This time eludes us We need to make the most of what little we have left Days escape us As quickly as a setting sun This time eludes us We need to make the most of what little we have left For so long i have buried my head waiting for the day I could stand up tall And scream out to the sky I'm not ready, for this life to end I'll keep fighting, until the bitter end Look at me A shell of what i used to be But i still have my memories And i'll keep fighting Look at me A shell of who i used to be But i still have my memories And i'll keep fighting Until the bitter end Until the bitter end

I am lost Caught in this never ending cycle of Confusion Never knowing what to think or What to do I swore i'd never live like this I am lost I am so lost and i'll never be found Searching for purpose When all i find are dead ends I'm not going anywhere I'm searching for answers but they never come I'm searching for answers but they never come All my life i've been told what to think by everyone So now i question everything I've ever known And i'm so alone I'm lost in the world and it's killing me Please leave me be Just set me free I'm lost in the world while i'm searching for the answers I swore i'd never live like this Bound by the chains of my own insecurities Set me free I cannot breathe I'm lost in the world and it's killing me Set me free Set me free Forever i'll stay lost in the world No answers to be found No purpose I am lost I am lost I am lost
