lyrics

Over the rolling plains, the desert beckons
Two demigods among us traverse the sands
One man, a wealth of knowledge,
of humble virtue
His leader filled with pride, reckless abandon
A parting of the ways ensures
the final fate of heroes
Premonitions of your final resting place
Now heed the words of a dying man
who offered you the chance to live
By mending your lust for blood
I'd rather die then live without ability
My body withered and suffering
To slake your pursuit of conquest
by misguided teaching
A solemn crowd begins to gather around
The flames consuming what was
And none could see as he burned into ash
The struggle or the pain, dying serene
"We will meet again..."
Alone again, he travels on
Ten thousand strong but one is gone
I see his face and I repent my ignorance
For all of those who dare to witness
a falling star, end of an age
Your words ring true yet now I hear them too late
I close my eyes one final time, we'll meet again
We'll meet again

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

A Tunnel To Eden
by Alustrium

supported by 29 fans who also own “A Seer's Elegy”

Short and sweet, this album begins with a Mike Tyson-style jab to the gut and moves down a few inches, ending up with repeated uppercuts to the perineum. Pure fucking shredding genius from soup to nuts. That part at the end of "Thanatos"? Where the guitar is like "wee-wee, widdley widdley wee wee woo weeeeeee"? It makes my weiner hard. Just brutal af. Also, ending the album with Thanatos is just... *Chef's kiss*. Death is the perfect end to a joiner the likes of which this album takes you on Blxculx

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
