GeN2Mo What the "Sentinel" EP promised, "The First Harbinger" delivers. Nothing more but also damn sure nothing less. Thumping Modern Progressive Metal groove and ambient melodic layering coupled with a Deftones-esque vocal approach. And it pays off beautifuly, as the way those vocal melodies wind through the instrumental layers allows the compositions, at their best, to play with the contrast between vastness and fragility to great effect. Favorite track: Visage.

Death Code 03:50
they’ll never stand some banishment alone i know the fate these savages deserve bound by the fear of losing control far better that dark passengers are witness to blood your death in my sight, my will to play god closer still - i won’t abandon this code one more chance, you’ll slip i see this every day i’m not afraid to view the scenery in the depths of vicious minds endless acts of indiscretion closer to breaking through the code countless acts of pure aggression closer to breaking through the code after all i’m not afraid to view the scenery in the depths of vicious minds this image was the last you’ll know don’t fight it oh father, with this mask i face the demons bleed for them now so i can rest from this lie truth will surface maintain appearances one last time
2.
Sentinel 04:04
in the end, when only hope can heal you when cold hearts declaim the fallen the silhouettes are gathering to free you you know that darkness has no reasons who would defend that oh, i can’t pretend these promises of light well the less i trust in them when least i’m given there is no justice to found in the end you’ve heard about the mess we’re in let’s not pretend that you always have a reason these dreams are poison filled with cuts and pills and no one’s gonna save us from our own ruin the fall is simple and vicious, it’s your last sight one day from resistance we will learn we face barren features of the past are we immune, are we absolved so blameless in the waste of your life they will return to pay for the lie i’ll believe it when it comes
3.
another day i remember you with summer wings stretched out for flight it’s never fair try to save ourselves from everything that can’t be defined i made it through the fields, dive into the sea it’s not that kind of flight awakening the beast, drowning in disease same faults come to light, yeah but i won’t fight it you’ll never see the benefit promises you must resent your throat closed in sorrow one fool for every minute far better to self-rely no chance for silence we lead this waste of time from the pace distrust is always implied on open roads it’s least of all like it should be it’s nothing like it should be you’re the reason for the waves the crashing tides when i get swept away of all the things that you were, you were the lie and i don’t need the pain
4.
lines of reason are crossed, they fall powerless a never-ending, self-exposed transparency give them wars to fight forgiveness is worth the cost one last failure of the gods in path of days ending, before our time is done the parasites are all ascending they know what will become distant the memories, lasting the crimes this world stands before us reminding us of loss, an absence of cause in path of days ending we stand only for ourselves time will not fix what time has brought faith will not mend what faith has wrought time will not fix what time has burned faith will not heal what faith has lost we’re losing the fight for balance with hearts of violence silence the remorse
5.
Sirens 03:20
one day this full circle will escape past you can stop, trust is so cold we can find a way, you and i one day this full circle will escape the past you will find trust is so cold but if we can dream on better times and heed the siren’s call, frozen in time someday, this full circle… we’ll escape the past and you will find trust is so cold but if we could dream of better times ...then we’ll try she whispers songs to the sinners a cherished moment or just the world collapsing clouds lined in silver when the melody arrives tonight
6.
we will follow in death’s cause innumerate the truths, the fallen deception, we are culled and mutilated to the last son we’ll never be the same, our fear is loaded we are forever lost the fool has all the answers difficult too violent to be denied, it fades into an ending typical ...let it pull shades over eyes these dreams are everything you wanted but the truth is war mask of delusion - still feels like heaven is calling to you but it’s not enough anymore in dreams we are at war in every thought of you they feed the curse we couldn’t fight our demons with hands and broken swords i never thought of you as reasonable reason will fall and never leave to resolve, amend we’re perfect in the cold the voice of reason and a failure to follow through it’s not enough, our fear is loaded once gone but not forgotten they will face what’s already done always it seems it seems they face what’s already done always it seems this war is already lost
7.
Visage 06:11
the sun has set in shades of blood she will heed the curse and time will take what’s owed to time but with every life there’s no decision she has heard countless submission calls stay tonight for this endless appetite the way she moves at night across the scenery she will burn shapes in dark light they’ll never see it coming death has played across her mind one thousand times she will take your final breath and forever you’ll be longing fallen, undead, strong but powerless... to shed this curse down on your knees and broken you drive a sightless mind heard every warning spoken and you ignored the signs my hands are tied - a lesson learned lest i pay the price of this sacrificial, burned out hole seems i’ve covered in lies
you missed the opportunity to save your soul please stop chasing the cause the way she moves.. through scenery she burns shapes in dark light they won’t see her coming… death plays before her eyes she will take your final breath and forever you’ll be longing fallen, undead, strong but powerless… ...so don’t call out

Orca 01:41

Utopia 05:29
it’s our downfall we let our fears create the dark ...and search for more soaked in fear, these lies are given faith you sold your last dream for them to oversee they will not compromise there’s no relief and no remorse they will find you, holy books and selling war as you run so far to escape the sword the truth is ours - we’re not immune in perfect worlds beneath the scars we’re not immune this rift is ours to mend and it never fails how wishful thoughts as these are helpless in the pathway of a dream as you echo words insincere i won’t feed the lies that prey upon the weakness of our minds in search of certainty we never find
10.
New Light 04:23
for years complacent - a past life filled with lies i’m only left with shreds of time one will to decide, with nothing to lose and everything to find and we said can this be all for nothing one chance to miss our ride if you would drown the sight and lead the sea into falling skies this time, cold and blind if only to be aware of this turning tide this new light will burn all your pain feed those flames until dust one step from the grave with no replacement for trust fall back into place, avoid this face at all cost crawl our separate ways, destroy the weak and the lost this new light has burned all your pain and fanned those flames until dust saved by every process i put my love aside, caught in the cold for this fate never even tried our time is out the story grows old now
11.
daylight on distant eyes we are the test that time ignored, fill our cowardly role repeating sins of the past without hope resent the world I can’t know, disavowed and broken promises - given every opportunity but nothing strikes the nerve of a tortured soul i’m not aware of dreams i’ve dreamed i can’t remember, but there’s solace in your glow i won’t tell a soul come home and from the visions rise save us all, show us insight and i’m aware of dreams so easy to surrender there’s solace in your glow, we can fill this hole come home and from the visions rise save us all, show us insight come home to promises of light she holds the door open wide tonight and as the sun that fades on the symbol chosen fear is here to stay, kill the symbol chosen rewrite destiny open the night up thy hands are tied in sin too many years we’ve turned our backs on what we’ve sown we’ve killed the messengers this won’t stop until dust has returned to bury us you make the promise a thousand times with no remorse for the decline some will stray but it’s our only hope for unity can we fight the urge to retain control and i’m aware of dreams so easy to surrender there’s solace in your glow, we can fill this hole
