1.
While I Wilt 06:07
How could you do this How could you leave me behind May you be cursed For flowering While I fucking wilt
2.
Lay My Bones 05:21
Visions of you Hang like a dark cloud above my head Visions of you burn Like wildfire in my skull veil of black smoke I inhale Tar in my lungs Poison in every cell Paralysis Disintegration Tears flow out of empty sockets I lay my bones Where your bones lie
3.
It feels as if all is lost But at least we have each other In this choking stench In this blinding darkness In this all devouring gloom In an eternal embrace Sinking in dirt Drowning in our own filth I can only hope You will be the first To draw the last breath And for a moment I will be well
4.
Underneath the bridge Tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from my ceiling It's okay to eat fish Cause they don't have any feelings Something in the way
5.
All will leave, except you I will carry you with me forever An oozing wound My heart submerged in your sick I will carry you with me forever You will never let me forget All I did, all I will never do You will never let me forget That I am the lowest of men I will cary you with me forever
6.
May the flames light my path into your arms And you will embrace me, once I learn to embrace myself Dreams of grandeur Turned into a bitter nightmare But there is a ray of light That penetrates the sick illusion And now i see This flagelation This pain is pointless These wounds are meaningless The hands that placed the crown of thorns on my head Are the same hands that can set this kingdom of pain ablaze The hands are my own May the flames light my path into your arms And you will accept me, once I accept myself
7.
Salvation 04:56
Like you, I’ve ran out of ways to describe the emptiness Like you, I’m stretched out on shore, dried out Longing for the tide to take me To take me back But you can’t see it And like me, you stare miles away Wishing to be anywhere but here And like me, you are waiting for someone To take away the burden But I can’t see it And so we tread on The distance between us Grows further As we crawl towards salvation But salvation could be here If only we knew it
8.
Immersion 05:13

about

We are really excited to finally put out a new album. It has been quite a rough time for the band: the lineup has changed which led to the change of the sound of the band, which led to the change of the band name completely. The pandemic took over the world and put all of our plans in slow motion. At times it felt like it had been one step forward and two steps back, so it took us almost four years to make “Devouring Gloom”. But it is finally finished and it seems that with this release we have finally managed to properly channel our creative vision. This darker, more dissonant and chaotic sound felt like a natural evolution of AORTES.

The central themes of the album deal with the struggle of the overwhelming feeling of despair, hopelessness, loneliness - or as we thought of it - a gloom that surrounds and devours you. Sometimes you find the strength to fight it off, other times you admit defeat. But there is always hope.
