Spinebrain Caught by surprise by talent of my fellow Finnish buddies. Especially the guitar work is great and the duality of vocals gives a good contrast and balances the flow. I am expecting great things from this band.

xFloKx This album seriously kicks ass.
Open your wallets, download, prepare some black candles for your altar, crank up the volume. And be prepared to grow some chest hair!
The album title makes me think of Shades of God - in the best possible way. Great guitar work and killer vocals. Favorite track: Too Late.

In the mist of morning What bleak thoughts are running In the darkness of your mind Your face sculpted of stone A mask to hide the suffering Of the darkness of your life How did your life come down to this Perhaps in oblivion lies bliss Too tired to take another breath You see no way out but death There is no forgiveness There is no compassion In the darkness of your mind You can find no purpose You can find no meaning To the darkness of your life How did your life come down to this Perhaps in oblivion lies bliss Blade in hand your course is set You see no way out but death But if you stay your hand a while Perhaps this pain you can survive And find the strength to carry on Another day will dawn

Inside the palace of deception In a bone white oval room Spreading hatred and confusion You plot the course of mankind's doom The twisted words of unbelievers Can't dim your greatness in our eyes But when you're taken from your throne We see the madness in your lies From the top of your tall tower You tell us what we wish to hear For the prize of fame and power There is no price you hold too dear The twisted words of unbelievers Can't dim your greatness in our eyes But when you're taken from your throne We see the madness in your lies

Face of God 07:30
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. How can you bear witness to this pain And still believe? How can this world be a work of love You are deceived And the face of god Is the face of man And the plagues that our Lord sent us Are but crimes of man I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. How could He give up His only son For this cursed earth? How could one man's death absolve us all Of our sins? And the face of god Is the face of man And the plagues that our Lord sent us Are but crimes of man

Crawl on your knees to me and Taste of my flesh Taste of my blood as well dear Come on be my guest We will be as one this night love Have no fear You shall receive my gift now The second coming's near Bring me the fire Of your burning passion Bring me your blood and tears For my satisfaction Bring me to the gates of heaven Bring me the key Bring me your soul to serve For all eternity I am the savior of Your forbidden dreams I am the lover The lustful seraphim I can show you things you never Saw before Submit and I shall give you Everything and more In the fire of our love Our bodies melt as one My lips a searing brand On the curve of your neck Your skin so delicate Burns to my touch Together we shall drown In a sea of flames

A dying man lies weak, surrounded By a mournful congregation Hand in hand, they wait upon To witness his last breath As your life now fades away So many things still left to say To those of us who have to stay And must face another day As your life now fades away A dying man, full of regrets Unable to face the truth Of the final obliteration Of his soul from this world How many days went by wasted How many years in misery? And now you lie by love surrounded Surrounded yet alone As your life now fades away So many things still left to say To those of us who have to stay And must face another day And must face another day A dying man, full of pain Lacks the strength to speak again Words unsaid, tears unshed Weighing down his heart Now the time has come to part From this shell your soul depart Flesh to earth, bones to dust Memories to rust As your life now fades away So many things still left to say To those of us who have to stay And must face another day

Too Late 06:54
We are lost, our time has passed We've given up on life In our hearts the burning shame A cruel twisting knife What was once a fertile land A graveyard soon to be For carelessness, apathy And pure selfish greed The ending came So suddenly I can't believe We're drifting through the ashes of This dying world It seems to me We could've done more Darkness falls on broken earth As the bell ceases its chime In our childlike innocence We thought we still had time But it's too late Too late! Hollow words from hollow hearts Those promises lie broken The truth always left unheard No braver words were spoken All our time we squandered by In revelry and toil Now we gaze on what is left Dust instead of soil The ending came So suddenly I can't believe We're drifting through the ashes of This dying world It seems to me We could've done more Darkness falls on broken earth As the bell ceases its chime In our childlike innocence We thought we still had time But it's too late Too late!
