1.
The graves scattered, temporary rest for the dead shadows Lifeless sleeping regenerative bodily functions manifesting Reaping the vitality of the cursed land The wretched living among the few From afar appear as silhouettes; strange and demented Travelers weary beholden of the light Under nightfall the whispers of fiends make their descent Enslaved ghouls preparing the way The charred bloodlines corpses run dry The sustenance brings rejuvenation to the kindred Victims decapitated and burned Darkness selective; for the few will reign
2.
Demented terrorscapes escalate signing the book of my damnation Possessed in body, consciousnessly aware the dreams are real Transported to the center of chaos forced to abduct innocence Innocent no more.. Wretched whore of anticosmic sorcery Bestowing a sacrifice to her dark gods A newborn purged into the triangular abyss Extraterrestrial lights left blinded Ripping from the inside out A mere pawn I've become
3.
Die by my decree, enemies impaled upon the thorn of my gaze Fields dedicated to their slaughter, now dine in decay The flock of crows feasting upon the invader's remains Slay the Prophet, incessant killing required Rise my children, Don't halt with the blood Don't let them sleep, their suffering must continue The heritage of murderers
4.
Painting the dread images that come to mind Unaware being guided from afar The art form sadistic (self aware) what horror shall be committed to achieve the end? Perfect amalgamations What horror shall be committed to achieve the end? Perfected Unaware being guided The flesh is weak.. Bones become brittle A mind unraveled
5.
Dread hordes of angelic corruption linger in the outer heavens Singing their dread song of comatose A 13 headed abomination comprised of every species known The primordial ooze is running dry / evolve the flesh matter The leviathanic black holes it contains, the black flame burning Churning the cosmos prismoid crystals levitation Like Atlas damned to carry, the burden of a dead star Festering anti-cosmic wound, lord of nothingness
6.
Look into the death lights, spherical orbs causing paralytic seizure The phantasm brings out darkness inside temporarily Hypnotically die again Sleep again Hypnotically sleep again Die again temporarily Immortal phased occult psionics Coven of Arkham, nexus of chaos
7.
Transcend boundless limits The depths obscure Living the abstraction of consciousness Piercing through the smoke Universal awareness brought upon thy feet Aware of other existence Gaia, creatures of sentient understanding Not yet involved, Evolved, I preceptor of true immortality Rising from the dark side of despair To the deserts of primitive man Egyptian tribes become empires Let the fire imbue flesh For now humanity become of thee The begotten shell, their skin my tomb
8.
Ascending from the abyss, concealed blood reaver An entity from the vacuum of space Cover thine eyes before they are sewn shut Mysteris vermis Lucid offerings of self destruction Cartilage and bones fragmented and drained instantly Letting the words slip into your mind / letting the scripture consume you Reciting last words of existence Woven in your psyche Woven in dead obsidian veins Scorching any trace of it's existence

about

"Vølus is a one man blackened death metal act hailing from South Carolina. The sole member, Justin Vølus, presents us with this first unholy offering titled Festering Anti-Cosmic Wound a torturous and gnarly twenty-seven minutes. Somewhere in between Portal's Lovecraftian themes and Cattle Decapitation's more grindier tendencies, its a very brutal and oppressive mixture of both the black and death metal genres and is executed rather creatively.

The guitars and bass are everywhere, the riffs are wailing fast and deep, the bass is simply crushing it along side the guitars. The wild mixtures of the two reminds me very much of Portal's more spastic and rather angular sounding guitar riffs that are tuned way down, really pushing in that heavy feeling of dread. Providing the drums is Jared Cave Moran sitting in for this session. And he nails it as well, incredibly fast and on point, the performance is other worldly and at times feels like he's improvising much of it. It helps add to the chaotic and suffocating atmosphere the album builds.

Now, let me get started on the vocals. Justin completely kills it, mimicking what could be that of some anti-cosmic demon. Deep and guttural it sounds rather disgusting at some points (in a good way). The lyrics are rather dark as well, imagery of the occult, madness, and hordes of angelic corruption, are just some of the twisted topics this release touches upon. I also find it fitting as to how they're delivered in an almost spoken word style, it helps with the almost anti-melodic nature of this release.

Its a rather abrupt album I feel. It starts rather suddenly with constantly changing riffs and drum fills that make it seem very angular and anxious. I feel like it borders on the experimental and takes more influence from things on the outside of black/death metal. Dipping its toes into more noisy and even like a weird, twisted, heavy version of improvised jazz thanks to the drumming style. Either way this was a really fascinating album I thought and enjoyed my time with it. Though, I think its best suited for those already comfortable and familiar with crazier styles of metal."
