(of doom) 01:04

in this age of archaic virtue and stories of old which hold no value the scope of the future unknown to deniers of the past douse the flames, pull your charred skull out from the burning coals scorched soul surely this disparity between the righteous and the damned was his to oversee a contrary possession of might the scope of the future unknown to deniers of the past we set our sights for the new world standing at the threshold of the precipice watch as we tumble down the concept of humanity is supple and ripe while you sharpen your shining teeth this decrepit self-deception fret the darkest shadow before your eyes, but cast by your own light douse the flames, pull your charred skull out from the burning coals scorched soul we set our sights for the new world standing at the threshold of the precipice watch as we tumble down

this bond of blood a lasting contention this bond of blood a frame of pretension enter this atmosphere by hydrogenic spheres nooses set afloat by singular nuclei a single spark will ignite the skies ablaze in this darkened night as the flames consume humanity our escape from mundanity spoon-fed thoughts of our reckoning set into being, randomly assembled by all that’s come to pass pushed into the chaos of existence this bond of blood a lasting contention this bond of blood a frame of pretension these bonds permeate will they tie us together forever in covalence our forward trajectory determined by a shared sorrow I hold what you fail to reach will I pull away from this unrelenting torrent do I push back at this suffocating truth that we all bury our own (this bond of blood a lasting contention this bond of blood a frame of pretension) set into being, randomly assembled by all that’s come to pass pushed into the chaos of existence this bond of blood a lasting contention this bond of blood a frame of pretension

Rotting Away 04:14
welcoming in a great torrent of dismay existence in wild disarray constant pain all for naught breathing lung after lung of putrid air skin of pale death rotting away human toil and its indisposition causes this perpetual consternation a constant search for answers to the questions of a universe so cold mirrors crack and the only reflection you see is one of darkness a constant search for answers you will find no solace here the light from these cracks only serve blind us breathing lung after lung of putrid air skin of pale death rotting away a constant search for answers to the questions of a universe so cold mirrors crack and the only reflection you see is one of darkness a constant search for answers your unease speaks volumes as to what I’ve become welcoming in a great torrent of dismay existence in wild disarray I discern nothing beyond my trembling breath breathing lung after lung of putrid air skin of pale death rotting away human toil and its indisposition causes this perpetual consternation
5.
born into unbecoming skin a discordant conflict the end of the world we built we sought so long cutting clean without a trace of guilt on this day, justice be done born into unbecoming skin a discordant conflict patience thin and morals derelict a discordant conflict shadows grow long in the evening sun on the barren wastes we seek our solace a discordant conflict dear leaders give us hope but leave us starving for any kind of decency something’s gotta give where’s our humanity shadows grow long in the evening sun on the barren wastes we seek our solace a discordant conflict paving a path with no end punished and pushed to the brink we seek now the clean air among the mountain tops

Black Earth 03:03
a sight beyond reason in a grounded gaze: fate draws near now we are beholding the burning heavenly bodies fate draws near how long will the stars burn in the skies the passing of a detrimental spectacle the denizens of this black earth behold the detrimental spectacle the stories we read, the tales that we told, they held us together before the crumbling of our wills our common conscience lies lifeless buried beneath benevolent dirt a projection of the past beneath benevolent dirt our common conscience lies lifeless how long will the stars burn in the skies the passing of a detrimental spectacle the denizens of this black earth behold the detrimental spectacle I will turn over every fucking single inch of the Earth mountains demolished nothing will bring me peace

from everything to nothing endless amounts of wasted potential I carry forever my greatest source of dismay are my thoughts of the future weary and motionless the past has given way to so much to live up to I lie here petrified unworthy of this life that I’m born into bodies in painful motion the sanguine lead smashing through their veins unable to recall a time that wasn’t now it never ends I despise this prison of flesh nothing ever stops, I just can’t see an end to this no, it just never ends we are starving our dreary minds all our lives we fought there’s no way out torn asunder again so little will to live how much do we have to lose no strength to go on so little will to live no strength to go on disharmonic vessels covered in shrinking skin crushing their hearts overflowing with melancholy I despise this prison of flesh nothing ever stops, I just can’t see an end to this no, it just never ends we are starving our dreary minds all our lives we fought there’s no way out from everything to nothing endless amounts of wasted potential I carry forever no strength to go on

Carnation 05:05

eternal change just a shade of who we thought we would be the cinders scale my shell from feet to hip swallow me whole and spit me out broken down my one remaining grimace: the toll of time my arbitrary form my duty to bear it it’s not the same mind not the same matter my derelict disguise we are more fists than heart the walls fall apart this blessed end, a new start radiating eternal change I set my sights towards the flourishing sun colliding, we absorb the fusion it changes us my future looks me dead in the eye it’s not the same mind not the same matter my derelict disguise we are more fists than heart the walls fall apart this blessed end, a new start this blessed end, a new start eternal change my future looks me dead in the eye

Risen 03:28
lost from the start our common misconceptions of fate drag us down through the dirt we must rise another dreamless sleep left me in doubt of my means of darkness we sow flowerless fields countless sunless skies out of my mind thrown into the world fate drags us down through the dirt we will grow and blossom all at once this chronic misery leans on one as all as this tragic catastrophe unwinds our mortal coil the skies come unhinged this tragic catastrophe the dying pulse of the Earth endless freezing nights has left my teeth ground to dust striding paces innumerable soul of glass, form as arbitrary as everything is this chronic misery leans on one as all as this tragic catastrophe unwinds our mortal coil the skies come unhinged this tragic catastrophe the dying pulse of the Earth

Essence 01:41
12.
in moments of withheld connection seeking the wisdom of old gods the truth carried by the sigh of the wind and the soundless pulse of stoic stone in moments of withheld connection we seek the wisdom of the old gods blind to the world that surrounds us numb to the tender embrace of the atmosphere what is man but a breath of the dirt drifting so far from its mortal origin stillness solace lost forever unfeeling of the air in your lungs seeking purpose above blind to the world that surrounds us numb to nature’s tender embrace what is man but a breath of the dirt drifting so far from its mortal origin stillness solace lost forever in moments of withheld connection seeking the wisdom of the old gods shifting the focus in search of inner peace inhale a tiny fraction of awe blind to the world that surrounds us a fucking speck of dust
13.
marching at a glacial pace dragging their feet towards the precipice in and out of consciousness drifting away from this world defying the bitterest cold that deadened every single sense bleeding for something that was never worth it and never again; in a permanent, torpid state a disheartened chorus for the jaded and sick pierces the silence of sleep spite palpable in the air so thick the lives we lead, thinking we’re on the path to peace up this mountain so steep we’re all so hopelessly hopeful clawing our way through lives of sickness a disheartened chorus for the jaded and sick pierces the silence of sleep spite palpable in the air so thick the lives we lead, thinking we’re on the path to peace up this mountain so steep broken bones upon the treacherous stone waves of regret smash against my being until they carry me into a sea of shame heavy as the stones we throw horrid and longing as my thoughts of you another wasted chance for us to grow though now finally we are through regressing

about

The unrelenting debut LP from Copenhagen’s Nothing Noble comprises back-breakingly bouncy grooves that dig themselves into your marrow by utilizing oppressive atmospheres and insistent melodic lines that allow harmonic respite amidst the syncopation-heavy, energetic movements.

The album features soul-crushing, frustrated yells and growls juxtaposed against big crescendos accompanied by deep descents into darkness, that add to the unyielding mood. It also boasts features from prominent vocalists from the international metal scene.

'Modern Dismay' is an exhibition of excessively groovy and deliciously dissonant, disgusting riffs and catchy choruses."
