lyrics

Red and constantly rising
Flames spark between clenched teeth
Smoke that churns from a pariah
Torching sensibilities

Pissing. it. all.
Into. the. dirt.
Bleeding it out
Feeling the hurt

Tortured souls are the first ones to hit the ground.

Grip!
As I dangle from the
Edge of the world,
a casualty of
Hate!
Like a black tar seeping
through my veins
A saving grace

Blind dogs
Foam from their teeth.
While you tremble ‘round.

Splayed and stretched ‘til you’re breaking.
hounds gnash your flesh when weak.
Extinguishing the spark
That once burned between your teeth.

Bottled it all
Drawn straight from the dirt
Keeping it in
Churning the hurt
Absorbing the pain
Feeling it win.
When does it stop?
How did it begin?

The only point to these dogs is to chew the fat.

Fall!
Fall from the edge,
Of the world.
A fresh expense of
Pain!
Let nature swallow you alive.
And rot inside.

I can’t be this
Stifled witness
Don’t let the pack
Consume you whole.

The hounds.
They feast on flesh.
Control your breath.
Control your head.
Be more than flesh.

Flesh.
Be more than.
Flesh.
Be more than flesh

Rabid, they come
Engorged, they go
Let them feed on the weak
They have no place here

Sparks
Sparks
Sparks
will keep them at bay

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 4 fans who also own “Sparks Between Teeth”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

Providence
by Ulthar

supported by 4 fans who also own “Sparks Between Teeth”

An excellent blend of black metal and death metal sounds. The whole thing is just a delightfully creepy listen! The dual vocal attack is great. There is a lot of tremolo in the guitar riffs, alternating between low and crushing tones and blistering high tones. Excellent album, beginning to end! klflick1980
