Crack the shell. Ascend the sky Rise, extend your palpitating wings Crack the shell. Ascend the sky Fly you disgraceful wretched things

"Passion…it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us, guides us… passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments; the joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we’d truly know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank… without passion, we’d truly be dead." Happy 20th anniversary to one of the greatest shows ever made. 💖

As a (former) violinist, I am just in awe at how well these guys incorporate the violin into a genre that doesn’t seem to be habitable for the instrument. Absolutely beautiful, I can’t wait to see what these guys do in the future.

“The dappled dying Flowering cold grey tombs With crumbling walls... I feel Our truth is laid bare

And plague colours A masterpiece of pain The portrait of what we are.”

Sick new video for Gojira’s The Cell.

Nocturnally helpless Weak in the light Depending on a prayer Pacing deserted roads to find A seed of hope

They are the trees Rotten pulp inside and never well Roots are sucking, thieving from my source Tired boughs reaching for the light

Brutal.

It’s just...so brutal. 

“Hammer blade on anvil forge Hel, know our name Wade knee deep, in sod of gore Once more unto the breach. To War.”

Song of the day. This is another great album that came out this year. 

"When you get to the other side please send a sign. It'll fly through the atmosphere in time. And if you hold the truth within your hand You only send it back through the rain. Reborn."

What I’m listening to today. I discovered these guys a couple weeks ago and am really digging this album. Not to mention, the album art is totally badass.

“When I was younger I caught a glimpse of fate, Above the water, flickering. So lonely it seemed, so fragile was its beam, In stormy waters, threatening.”
