lyrics

amalgamation, amino inception
the thriving womb of our forebears

the tireless reach across ocean epochs
the graceful agony of progression

for we have smelted cells
to carve new scales in hide
in turn recast feathers
with which we did take flight

the hardship of famine, in spite of cataclysm
survive and surpass in the face of all odds

The graceful agony of progression

crawl from below, descend from above
to incubate for millenia,
desperately clinging to the menagerie

Evolution by natural selection is a beautiful yet incredibly simple process that allows the stronger genes to survive. It is an ongoing struggle, the rise of species through individuals ability to adapt against the elements, the giraffe with the longest neck that reaches the branches their brethren cannot reach, thus surviving and pairing with another giraffe endowed with these genes. It is an endless marathon, a word to describe not a force, but an action, that the fittest will survive. In the first world, we simply exist. We do not see the starvation, fear and desperation of survival in the wild and therefor the word may be lost to us. But all life is, to some degree – a struggle to a survive.

A hunger never sated

"Rather than just being a gimmick, the cello is used to great affect here as it provides a soulful melody to counter the chaotic aggression going on around it. In that sense it reminds me of Dead To A Dying World, which is never a bad thing." Short review: http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1456 starvynth

Crust with strings is a heartfelt and honest pairing. And the opening track Awoken is such a beautiful track, I can't help but listen to it on repeat. Gemma
