EACH DECISION WOULD HAVE BROUGHT ME HERE
THE EARTH FOLDS IN ON ITSELF
PAST AND PRESENT NEEDED
LITHIFIED INTO FUTURE REALITIES
I WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING
BUT IT WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING
THE SAME STARS WILL SHINE AT NIGHT
THE SAME SUN WILL RISE IN THE MORNING
BLOOD WILL CALL OUT FROM THE EARTH
WATER WILL BREAK
AND NEW MOTHERS WILL WRITHE IN PAIN
WHILE THE CHORUS CHANTS
THERE IS NO MORTAL WHO SHALL TURN UNHEARD THEIR LIFE’S COURSE TO AN END NOW MARRED
THERE IS TROUBLE HERE
THERE IS MORE TO COME

portrayal of guilt takes the sinisterness of black metal and the emotional anchorage of screamo and creates the most evil-sounding, despair-filled, hopeless record you could imagine. Perfectly crafted and always makes me come back for more, I can never get enough of them. Haydin

Extremely well crafted work of blackened emotional art. Solid as fuck and a perfect listening journey for anyone who appreciates honest music with a vision. Sargeburt
Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2020
"Curse These Metal Hands" parlays the UK bands' chemistry into a record which—for all its tinnitus-inducing ferocity and elegiac arrangements—practically drips with transcendent joy. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 19, 2019
Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 5, 2016

Heaviest metal I’ve heard this year that doesn’t use microtones (e.g., Jute Gyte, Victory Over the Sun). This will pummel your face relentlessly for 22 minutes, and you’ll love every second of it. Yet it’s also incredibly catchy, which is by no means a weakness. And the engineer is to be commended for producing one of the filthiest guitar sounds I’ve ever heard on a record. A perfect soundtrack for the current pandemic and beyond. cassandraleo
