Michael Schiefer Excellent album. Yob, Mastodon... Vocals match the style of instruments. No bad songs, worth the price!

Thomas Montinari You got everything in there! Favorite track: Sepulchre.

bcb723 Jesus... this album fills up the room completely when you play it loud. Just makes you float away. Similar in mood to YOB, Isis, "Emperor"-era Mastodon and the feel of abandon and pain within Leviathan's "Scar Sighted." Also a stunning tribute to a fallen band member (RIP Brenden). In the insane amount of music released this year, "Premonition" nearly slipped through the cracks on me. Don't let this album get away from you! Favorite track: Passage.

A sending of light A flee to dust Dusk way our souls Bare the eye The archway to the valley Green's turn to grey The cosmic hand, it comes here If you can survive Through the path they are coming Howls of wolves I'm the first one The smoke lit our eyes Moving too far past A sending of light
2.
Sepulchre 04:44
Holy tether Live to drink blood God's that know the Valley of giants She sits on starlight Separate from the new world These teeth have gone for miles Name on their shut shrine Holy tethers Floating celestial Live to drink blood and fire God's that know their secret schemes In the valley of giants Gold teeth, white lungs Singing skills on their ancient tongues Approaching flies With winds that blows through their sides The iron one Mounted in storm Agents of flight Powers of old Unleash your stress Punished in Age of the night Name on the shrine

Passage 04:57
It's easier in these daydreams I left behind I left behind the lows As far as these souls My motion through other lives Stygian drink for your woes Parasitic cross-eyes Sickly cleaving axe blows Broken Sickly hallow gates I felt the eye My skin it always turns white The sea of death always rises
4.
Trost 06:11
Go outside the bonds A flow of blood Our hands together In patterns Tell all your thoughts And all your needs And all your trust Of the man I used to be Hold your Breath A holy ward Hold till now Soft light I find I wonder Soft light I find Belong here
5.
Hiraeth 08:03
Bury me A cancelled out noise Bury me Let him sleep in wells Bury me A closing oak Bury me Let him speak in wells Bury me In closing oak Let him speak Bury me You're always on the right deny these souls You're always on the right Waves of fire Deny these souls You're always on the right Breath in smoke You're always on the right Look to starlight The misery, the greed I felt the sun Restlessness I saw through starlight Restlessness Standing loud Wanting waves Align, fire Small lives, fear I saw the sun Restlessness I saw through starlight, and Restlessness Everyone all Align Everyone's all aligned

Lion's Blood 09:39
Hairless doll Measured by Coin that calls our name Make their way Side by side Make their thieves stay there Measured by An echo of divine Leader of godless Eyesight tighten by Gave our new day echo, devine touchless Mirrored, godless Our Eyesight, tightened by The touchless That gave our new day Make their way Side by side Make their thieves stay at pace Echo of, divine touchless A coin that calls our name to rise I drank the giants blood Hold the lions son The idle fawn The giants son Changed at dawn The Lion's Blood Lied to the God For my life I changed the lions blood I chained the night to the God's What I call life I am the liars son A night that's chained to the dawn A crooked eye for my life I drank through giant's skulls Water drops from their walls Idle mind, my son And their hearts grow old
