lyrics
i am the child asleep in the abyss
a fury defined by years of neglect
together we watch
as the city collapses
the weight of the ocean
spills over the dead
i’ll make love to
the bones and the ashes
the slow dance
from birth to decay
i’ll smear the blood
on the walls of the temple
together we drown
in an ocean of tears
i am the face
that appears in the window
a daydream crushed
by the labor of guilt
i am the child
who wanders the ruins
an insect fear
that gnaws at our spines
i am the child
asleep in the abyss
i will gather the ashes
the slow dance from our birth
to our decay
i will wander the ruins

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
Good sound for a road trip !!! The stoner rock atmosphere as relaxed as driving on the open road while the wind blows your head clear through the car window. Stephan
A ferocious display of blackened stoner-doom from Moscow's Moanhand, who offsets moments of bleak ugliness with clean, haunting melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2021
