This is their sixth release, not counting the twelve singles they released in 2020. Produced and partially recorded by Hampton at her home studio and more recording/mixing by André Moran at Cedar Creek Studio in Austin, TX. Mastered by Max Lorenzen.

new demos

breatherholes - honey (marine girls)

Churning fires
Caustic nights (CAUSTIC NIGHTS)
Inside this molten realm
A crackling tundra 

Swirling black ashes of
The deceased 
This is found within
Surtur’s gates! (SURTUR’S GATES!)

(Oh oh)
Rage devours!
(Oh oh)
Everlasting, burning power!
(Oh oh)
I feel alive once again!
(Oh oh)
Now that I’ve made rage my only friend!

This realm of fire, 
Invigorating! (INTOXICATING)
Granting meaning, 
Through my bleedings 
I welcome wounds branded,
On my flesh
The torch that scars, lights the way! (KAUN)

(Oh oh)
Looked my fears straight in the eye!
(Oh oh)
Pushed through, this world is mine!
(Oh oh)
I will set Midgard ablaze!
(Oh oh)
All kingdoms will know my name!
