Stonier 09:58
From the inside to the outside From my heart to the end Never knowing, never known All I get is all I give I might be making myself sick Isolated and alone There’s a way if I can see it I’m not sure that I can reach it To transcend, to go on From the inside to the outside In my heart to the end Reaching away Reach beyond I’ve tended to my own For so very long And it made me strong How can that be wrong? Now it’s time to turn away (Before I turn to stone) Pulling myself over the stones Before the light, slipping away Pulling myself over the stones Before the light, before the love Dragging my weight Across this rock Reach for the light Hoping to love If my strength fails And this test kills me I’ll keep reaching away Reaching beyond Believe in me Reach for me Until grace Releases me

Destroyer lives in here This plunge headlong Many the victims Refuse to be one Empty sucking Dry dead clicking Fingers sticking to, staining everything you touch Tainted me Straining to see Whatever used to mean so much This love so strong Where it all went so wrong No more room for victims here Nowhere to run to get clear Feel it going down Coming down on me One more dig to see There is redemption There is anything in me Windows...painted ‘em black Barricaded the doors I will take it In pain until I die Suffer a wall to drown the screaming Look insanity in the eye This plunge headlong Where it all went so wrong No more room for victims here Nowhere to run to get clear Feel it going down Coming down on us Shedding my skin Again and again Cold and reptilian

Beast 03:31
Escape the pain that makes you man Lose all your hang ups It doesn’t matter anymore When you make yourself a beast Forget what they want you to be Break all your promises Now that we are animal It doesn’t matter in the least Show me the way you feel this time Let me see through your eyes Choking on the taste of the lies Shit’s best left for the flies I know the pain you feel in your mind I can feel it burning in mine Spit it out, the bitter taste of lies More shit to feed the flies There is only this

Dogs, men, slaves Show of teeth Cut on backs Of lesser men They see Only red Night’s blanket downs Still there is no end Sixth siren howls Calling us In to drown In the hearts of metropolis Bleeding in love Seething with hate Madness we create In misery Is this the way all things should be? The precious soil Turned black with blood All this pointlessness Our greatest creation The endless toil Turns to bad blood To all this pointlessness We pledge our contribution

Not Dying 04:37
I’m trying to heal myself I’m trying to believe There’s a reason to be a better person I’m gonna keep living I’m not dying Made to take take everything That you’re gonna throw at me I’m gonna enjoy the pain Pain. Sweet. Pain. Sweet. Pain…

about

“…roaring sludge metal that fans of High On Fire and early Mastodon should probably feast their ears on.” — BrooklynVegan

“The heaviness of Chapters cannot be understated. Low tuned riffing rattles the earth to its very core, with punishing density and a molten anger that burns clean through the soul. Melodic lines sing like weeping angels, creating a stark contrast to the destruction RADIAN unleashes.” —The Sludgelord

“…listeners get to experience soul-crushing doom and subtly catchy heavy metal riffing right alongside one another.” — Captured Howls

“A sludge metal album that delivers a huge sound, majestic pace variations and a mix of accompanying styles that ultimately garnishes this opus with a cutting edge over so many others in a crowded genre.” — The Razor’s Edge
