The second in the Damnati trilogy; it tells the story of hypocritical leaders during the American settlement.
lyrics
~VERSE~
We are heroes, victorious
Stand over foes, stand glorious
Unkempt madness, raging sadness
You were mine, you're out of time
Silent, she shies
No one heard cries
See for your eyes
Everyone dies
Secrets denied in your life...
~CHORUS~
I had come for you!
Defending you from yourself!
Malicious, I'm a fool!
Hypocrite; I loathe myself...
~BRIDGE~
Painful; you were once me
Armageddon; God served us well
Scream for fire, heat and death
End it now, I'm in disgrace
Cast aside my brothers
Cast aside my lovers
Cast aside remorse
And I scream; where are you now!?
~OUTRO~
I see now as I fade
Knowing I have merely days
Where is my brother?!
And I scream; where are you now!
Rhetorics plungs through me
Gripping, laughing at me
Where is my mother?
And I scream; where are you now!?
~CHORUS~
I had come for you!
Defending you from yourself!
Malicious, I'm a fool
Hypocrite; I loathe myself...

The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023
