Sirens 02:56
Hear the sirens, the screams grow louder Cleanse the world in everlasting fire We don't deserve a happy ending May all be washed away in the burning rain I am the shadow that looms over all I am the plague in the veins of the earth I am the beginning and the end I am humanity
2.
Filth 05:35
Filth, you're nothing but swine Your arrogance makes you blind No purpose, you're just a waste Violence is all you chase Filth Your cowardice is clear to see Filth Let it be known, you disgust me Your existence, I despise Your mouth spews only lies Contempt is all you feel I hope your grief never heals Filth Your cowardice is clear to see Filth Let it be known, you disgust me If all men are brothers, you're the bastard son For all the hate you spoke, I'll cut your tongue Selfish, ignorant, hopeless, you're a walking plague I'll watch as you descend into your shallow grave Filth In life you sealed your fate Filth In death you're still a disgrace

The cold air bites my back The weight of solitude cracks my spine My skin crawls and my thoughts are blank This unknown force takes hold of my mind Emptiness shrouds me Loneliness consumes me Trapped in hell, eternally Locked in mind without a key A war within, a sneak attack And the weight of solitude blinds my eyes Solace in reach, but still my heart sank As the little hope I had withered and died Despair torments me Abandonment taunts me This mental purgatory Nothing more than a fallacy And yet I still can't break free...

Necropolis 06:25
Cavernous abyss of wretched torment Its charred walls cracked and eroded The air burns with sulfuric rotten contents Reeking flesh of the decomposed Necropolis A cityscape of fallen prophets Necropolis Where even God can't see us Eviscerated limbs float in suspension The earth stares with Eldritch eyes Revenant howls echo in discordant tension Disassociation reigns, reality dies Necropolis A cityscape of fallen prophets Necropolis Where even God cannot save us (2x) Hordes of Hades, harbingers of oblivion You long for the light of the sun Unholy legions offering lives to the one Ancient horrors rise in vile putrefaction

Writhe 06:43
Its claws slice deep in my mind In a loathsome mockery of life Repulsion of the light inside Flaying being, its tendrils like a knife My thoughts, mangled and depreciated A curse of flesh is bestowed Flawed soul, mangled and devastated A dreadful plague taking hold "Writhe, contort, inflict every limb" The air is godless, the air is godless "Writhe, break, extract life from him" This war is hopeless, I am helpless My will, siphoned ruthlessly Hold me and hear me weep Let entropy consume me Drag me to eternal sleep "Writhe, contort, inflict every limb" The air is godless, the air is godless "Writhe, break, extract life from him" This war is hopeless, I am helpless
7.
Godforsaken, they have all abandoned me Looking at myself a silhouette is all I see Longing for ascension beyond this astral plane Drifting through entropy, in silent darkness I remain Hear my call, my elegy of misery Extract my soul, take this life from within me The gnashing teeth pierce my flesh endlessly The Everblack pulling me to eternity My body is a husk, just a hollow shell This mental purgatory makes life a living hell Cast me amongst the stars, the universe shall reclaim The waste of matter that my spirit became Hear my call, my elegy of misery Extract my soul, take this life from within me These gnashing teeth pierce my flesh endlessly The Everblack pulling me to eternity Though I bleed, these wounds will never kill me Dragged through hell, but the void will not swallow me I will break these shackles that confine me Banish the Everblack, I control my destiny

about

My long-awaited debut album is finally here. On this album, you'll hear a collection of some of the darkest thoughts I've ever had. It is a journey through depression, disassociation, misanthropy, nihilism, fear, death, and suffering. There are thick doom-laden riffs, blackened textures, walls of screeching noise and low ambience, neoclassical harmonies, dissonant progressions, and the screams of a lost soul trying to find his way back to himself.

I am truly proud of what I have put together here, and I hope that you all enjoy it. I have put blood, sweat, and tears into these songs, and I truly feel that they reflect the emotions that went into creating them. That said, I want to clarify that releasing these songs marks a sense of overcoming. Releasing these feelings into the songs has been very cathartic, and I'm relieved to be moving on from them. To anyone who read this far, don't be afraid to reach out for help. You are stronger than whatever ails you. Take care of yourselves.

- Xander (Against Thee Wickedly)

"Twisting, atmospheric metal that balances towering guitar grandeur with magma-throated despair, featuring lyrics that venture into the mind's darkest pits." - BoredInPittsburgh on "Writhe"

A DIY Pittsburgh-based solo project that fuses death and funeral doom, noise, black metal, drone/ambient, and a slight neoclassical influence into a dark, heavy, and melodic sound that is more of a feeling an atmosphere than a particular genre.
