    Other people hear harsh, random noise. I hear a soundtrack to the cosmos being devoured from the inside out.

      This was my take:
      ua-cam.com/video/qDuFp08G33A/v-deo.html
      Not for the feint of heart.
      The lyrics on this song are amazing this is a 10 for me I feel like they express the sounds and emotions that I have like no other. The cosmos will devour us all in time, we are nothing, no matter how much we want to be. A black hole will eventually destroy everything and that is what this song is. Live, laugh, love but we are sentient only to suffer the eventual finality of the heat death of the universe and we are powerless in preventing our inevitable demise. The human condition is harsh the truth is hard to swallow. We have hope and that is the only thing that can’t be taken away. Invest in god and the ideal that our spirit transcends this outcome.

    It's so abstract and experimental (just as the visuals), but then 2:38 hits with that wash of melody, and then that slow, nasty, gnarly, T H A L L, evil riff from the last section. Not to mention the freaking Bulgarian choir singing. This is the thing right here!

    HLB never really grabbed me, but this song did. This sounds HUGE! Love the blackened elements in this. The beginning reminds me of Akira. This would be an awesome sound track to the kids unleashing their power. Also cool how the guitars mimic the choir vocals in the beginning.
    Curious how it fits in the context of the album.
    Thanks for the video 🙏

    I don't know how many people have mentioned this, but the choral segment at the beginning is the bulgarian traditional song Kaval Sviri. Bulgarian choir works so well with metal because choral sections are cool, and the bulgarian choral music is known for its dissonance.

    The "female vocal effects" are actually sampled from a song. Bulgarian acapella choir, to be exact. Look up "Bulgarian folklor- Kaval sviri" if you're curious enough. You won't regret it. As for this track as a whole? Straight naaaaasty. If this is the direction deathcore is going, I'm here for it!
    EDit, because I forgot to say it: I like Instill better, but it builds on the foundation laid out in Labrynthian, so I'm not too surprised that I'd like it more.
