lyrics
A fear of height serves a constant reminder: how far your flaws can fall. Fear of success keeps you from reaching for it.
Embrace your time, waste your life waiting in vertical lines
just to climb and gain nothing of value.
High contrast, low exposure.
Undernourished and under restraint
as we climb then decline just to end up in the same place.
A constant state of crisis.
The altitude is sickening, we push on.
With heels to finger every rung.
Never looking down because the guilty learn not to feel guilty for the ones they walk upon.
One step upward beckons voices from the bottom they are
pleading, taunting, haunting.
Your sight of mind is blind, you never look three steps away.
No victory to celebrate, ascend.
Cynics and climbers to the overcrowded middle.
Loathe yourself as much as I loathe those above.
Constant state of crisis: drawn, quartered, pushed and pulled.
Noose around achieving necks, bloodletting of the pure.
I’ve seen red stains on the top rung.
The altitude is sickening.
I’ve seen enough so I let go.
Embrace your time, waste your life waiting in vertical lines
just to climb and gain nothing of value.
High contrast, low exposure.
Undernourished and under restraint
as we climb then decline just to end up in the same place.
A constant state of crisis.
The altitude is sickening, we push on.
With heels to finger every rung.
Never looking down because the guilty learn not to feel guilty for the ones they walk upon.
One step upward beckons voices from the bottom they are
pleading, taunting, haunting.
Your sight of mind is blind, you never look three steps away.
No victory to celebrate, ascend.
Cynics and climbers to the overcrowded middle.
Loathe yourself as much as I loathe those above.
Constant state of crisis: drawn, quartered, pushed and pulled.
Noose around achieving necks, bloodletting of the pure.
I’ve seen red stains on the top rung.
The altitude is sickening.
I’ve seen enough so I let go.

Visions of Infinihility

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!

Can we all just step back for a moment and appreciate what an awesome band name Nightmarer is?

Unbelievably good! Easily surpassed my already high expectations. Locked in combat w Invicta and Blackbraid for AOTY.
