lyrics

"Porcelain Whales"

My name's been carved in stone
Since the dawn of times
My parents were porcelain whales
In an ocean of sand

Then you came in a trumpets' hail
Awoke the beast in every man

And I recall your saliva
Licking the wounds from their veins
On every face, a reminder
What if we were just the same?
But I recall your saliva, dripping from their flesh

Give me spears and arrows
To roam these seas
Forgive me father but in this quest for blood
Child and mother die first

Cause I recall your saliva
Licking the wounds from their veins
And every face’s a reminder
What if we were just the same?
But I recall your saliva, dripping from their flesh

Here I stand, dressed as a night sky
To end this tale and watch you die

Let it rain, fireflies like the second plague
Glowing avenging witches
Will give me strength
To hold the knife and embrace
Disgust and wrath

As you'll recall my saliva
Licking the wounds from your veins
On every wall, carve my name
You and I are not the same
Yes you'll recall my saliva

But we are not the same

Bleeder
by Mutoid Man

supported by 7 fans who also own “Porcelain Whales”

This is the one of the most crazy dense albums I've ever listened to. I guess it's progressive sludge like Mastodon or Baroness, but much more chaotic than either of those two bands. Despite this, the album is still quite catchy. This is definitely one of the more interesting modern metal bands that doesn't rely on any gimmicks. ganondox

Abrasive Peace
by Colosso

supported by 6 fans who also own “Porcelain Whales”

Si cet album sonne un peu old-school, c'est peut-être parce que le chant fait beaucoup penser au Benediction des débuts. Pour le reste, en fait, le death metal de Colosso est tout simplement intemporel, futuriste et passéiste à la fois ; un classique quoi ! Poesy Rider

An exercise in contrasts, the album is loud but not violent, reflective but not navel-gazey. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 18, 2018

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
