Napalm Death
"Legacy Was Yesterday"

(Music: Embury / Lyrics: Embury / Greenway)

Sealed maze of confusion
The mind is perplexed
 Faith in the life you choose
A stake in being yourself
Who else can you be?
What else can you be?
True to yourself and forge ahead
And deal with the fucking consequences

By turns we are bemused
We will be stretched taut and ordered
Give a thousand apologies
Trying to work through the guilt
Lashed down to this legacy that was yesterday
Old friend, you’re reviving the pettiness of all the worst memories

From minefield of childhood
 to melting pot of frailty
Didn't we grow up?
Or did we just grow apart?
Always looking back - why be so afraid?
Be True to yourself and forge ahead

By turns we are bemused
We will be stretched taut and ordered
Give a thousand apologies
Trying to work through the guilt
Tripping through this legacy that was yesterday
Old friend, you’re reviving the pettiness of all the worst memories
Persisting in this legacy that was yesterday

Toxic Holocaust "Life Is a Lie" (dB037)

The Gates of Slumber "The Jury" (dB006)

On September 30, Portland death metal act SEMPITERNAL DUSK will release their highly-anticipated full-length on Dark Descent Records.

After a vicious demo assault in 2012, the band is set to make their presence known across the underground with this self-titled,five track, forty-seven minute affair. If you like doom in your death metal, SEMPITERNAL DUSK will be most pleasing to your taste.

SEMPITERNAL DUSK emerged after the demise of WARWOLVES in 2009, with J.Huss switching from bass to guitar and T. Call again behind the kit. The duo began writing, focusing on abyssal atmosphere and primal instincts to guide their doomed death metal.  In 2011 they recorded a two-song demo with J.Huss recording all guitars and bass and T. Call on drums and vocals. Their demo spread and caught the attention of Dark Descent, who inked a deal with the band for release of a full-length.

The band also contributed a one-minute track, "Beneath the Emblems of Death" to the MONOMANIAC VOL. 1 7" released by Blastbeat Mailmurder from Greece. This would be the last song recorded as a duo. The decision was then made to fill out the lineup and become a live band. T. Gann of SHROUD OF THE HERETIC joined on bass and A. Wheeler of WEREGOAT/RITUAL NECROMANCY joined on second guitar.
The first live ritual occurred in February of 2013 along with VASSAFOR and KNELT ROTE. In August 2013 they entered Red Lantern Studios in Portland, OR to record their debut full length. SEMPITERNAL DUSK, now a three piece, will be performing a few select live ritual s this fall in support of their album release, then entering the studio in late September to begin recording their side of an upcoming split with Seattle's OLD SKIN.

MERRY CHRYSTMETH

All I want for Christmas is to chew solid food
Appetite returned with me to rehab
but meth left me long in the tooth
and they had to be removed
With visions of sugar plums
dancing in my head
gumming a candy cane
wishing' it was the end of a stem
No job, no prospects
no family, no friends
No reason to not get high
It's a wonderful life
Don't give a shit
just my piss in a cup
to be tested by some fuck
who I guess gives a fuck
What a wonderful life they got
