Perpendicular To The Living Ones

Bow Echo 05:42
Rapid intensification of the storm occurred without warning Cells fall in line, a devastating alignment of backside energies Pillars of blackened clouds roll, tearing a hole in the sky Horizontal hail obscures flying limbs and debris A linear aerial assault few shelters can withstand An unrelenting surge from beyond the stormfront A system erratic, most definitely tornadic A unique fingerprint of nature uninhibited Only once the torrent passes can the decimation be assessed, the dead counted As another squall appears on the horizon

Black peaks rupture from out of hibernation Magmatic leviathan, airborne incineration Boiling oxygen, liquid aerial suffocation Sulphuric lahars, outward obliteration Expelled from the depths, the earth’s rapturous breath Against a magenta horizon A civilization ablaze An acidic haze to end all days The inhabitants scatter, a panicked melee And as the amorphous flesh flees in vain As a society is erased The score, a million screams, plays As molten nickel rains down upon the fields of flesh

Tinder Kindling Fuel Inferno Maintain Decay Extinguish Coals Repeat

Our nightmares are replaced by something far worse, reality A renewed sense of inescapable dread The monster under your bed, a lie you were fed A distraction from what lies there instead Employed by boogeymen, surrounded by ghosts We all live as vampires, every day an exorcism What once were nightmares, where our fears took formidable shape Are now the places in which we attempt to escape

about

GRIDFAILURE closes out 2022 with its fourth title of the year, Perpendicular To The Living Ones. The solo project’s first fully collaborator-void record since the Covid-lockdown-released Epicenter MMXX: Quarantine Instrumentals, Perpendicular To The Living Ones drops forty-one minutes of caustic harsh noise elements, gnarled post-industrial beats and panicked percussion, and immersive field recordings, most of the tracks replete with torrents of vocals that demoralize the listener with tales of inescapable natural disasters, viruses, incineration, and more. Simply put, this is GRIDFAILURE 101.
