lyrics
Destined to be forevermore concealed
Forced to repudiate its human nature
Accept the inevitable
“Man is the cruelest animal”
Arose from the heart of man, the root of all evil
We don’t need to summon Belial
He is among us – lingering within
Making atonement for the human nature
An absurd confession of guilt for an inherent disposition
Religion as the principal enemy of moral progress in the world
“Man is the cruelest animal”
Shouldn't we bear responsibility rather than passing the paton?
Shouldn't we try to tame our own demons instead of being at God's mercy?
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he’s impotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?
(…)”
We've sentenced ourselves to collapse

The Afterthought Ecstasy
by First Fragmentsupported by 6 fans who also own “Founded on the shambles”
Dasein is an unbelievably refined, eye-popping, and ear-gasmic piece of technical melodic death metal, but what The Afterthought Ecstasy lacks in overall elegance is more than compensated for by its sheer swagger and boldness. If you like Archspire, Spawn of Possession, Inferi, and other such bands, you should love this! First Fragment is oddly overlooked by fans of death metal and I will never understand why. Tougas is a genius.
