Roots of Proctor

by Sagen

supported by

Erik Salazar Angry Metal Guy sent me. After reading their short review, I knew I had to check this out. This is an amazing slab of deathcore driven by the riff. Buy this album along with the rest of their material! Favorite track: Flood Gates.

missmetalofficial Wow! This album is pure gold!
10/10, will be in my top albums of the year for sure! Favorite track: Crux.

SouthernWolf Ken ain't misleading you. This rules. Brutal, gripping, and enthralling are the only words I'd add.

Kenstrosity This is some devastating deathcore, prioritizing creative riffs and emotive leads over tired and repetitive breakdowns. Excellent vocals seal the deal, making this a pleasant surprise and a quality way to start 2023! Favorite track: Flood Gates.

I can not speak for the words of the passing For I shall not live upon nor die upon the acts of compassion These transgressions are the pursuit of my calling Bring forth light Bring forth the magistrate These are not the shades of malefaction But a shining of those who’ll die protected Bring the serpents home To the depths of Gallows Hill These lands shall breath water Freeze and grow ill The bleeding moon shall guide the back to nether’s bend From which the conferment peels the rind of oaths end We shall then begin again From the ashes of Proctor’s Ledge

Breathe Out You were given a chance Avoid the suffering Set to open your soul Tides bring the reckoning Knowing When to decide If life is blackening Set to open your soul But clouds are sharpening Your light has abandoned Breathe the words Never felt before Flee this earth All that you have earned Bring Water Afraid of going under Breath Water I will bring you down under This land is destined to fold Under the happening Protect the land that you own Give all the light can bring Pray for the grace of your home Hellbroth of the damned, eternal Whalebone Your life has abandoned Breathe the words Never felt before Flee this earth All that you have earned Bring Water Afraid of going under Breath Water I’m afraid You’ve opened the flood gates When Can We Return Return This hellbroth will rot the earth until we can resuscitate

The timings alarm Dark skies are moving above The climate Rains blood Pardon your neighbor of trust Dimming the light of a chariot tumbling Moments of struggling, counterfeit humbling Strides of consumption, community suffering What's left be found deny your governing Forgive me Reach for the sky Deciding is finding to capture the meaning of life Reach out Prisoners of own We hold The master we grow Deformed Alliance Reform Pledge to the treason, we harm Pulling the chain of command into severance Drink from the fountain We feast from garnishments Shower in pride Abiding commandments Pity the foundling Scarred deep with the punishment Forgive me Reach for the sky Deciding is finding to capture the meaning of life Prisoners of own We hold The master we grow Deformed The master we grow de Ask the questions why Our fear is driven blind Adept of shaitan's work Crux of human kind Ask the questions why Our fear is driven blind Reach for the sky Reach for the sky Battled and conquered Our children have harm Our god remains balanced Hearing our calls These brittle confines Take me from the afterlife Protect my sacrifice We all swallow Fear of hallows We all swallow fear of hallows Fear of Will we live or die Will we live or die For our sacrifice

5.	One of Us 05:00	lyrics	buy track
The final line Time collides Ticking down into a line of compromise I tried To sit tight while they try and preach their finds It’s fine The lie of life can only seem to fantasize Behind Days full of restraint that patronize Hard to find A culture ripe of the blessed vine Define The mass of death lies in leaves and pine Design A faction of fear crossed with fraying twine Behind You’re left to die This world it follows This world it swallows Blame so softly Father try Blame so softly Father try Blame the heartbeat Of genocide Genocide Hypocrite The trees may struggle to hold our grip Don’t slip My neck is tied up with Judas’ kiss The fields may shift on This spineless system Condemning sisters For fashioned drifters My name will live off Of trammeled victims You can never shed another tear again In a world that swallows A world that swallows Blame so softly Father try Blame the heartbeat Of genocide Genocide My name is stapled at the top of the standing My body’s cold but your eyes stay shut Write it on the death note Can you ever justify, making me testify Write it on the death note To disown, feel alone, tread this fate on me Can you end the treachery A shallow dreams on top of me Condemn the lives of anarchy A broken neck democracy No You are not one of us

Finding seekers Malevolent creatures Believers of deeper Stains of blinded seers Marking the land Exalting the darkness through shattered Offering the offspring Inducing our falling Fall with me Fall with me Knowing Holding Mark of the damned Growing Sorting Acts of the hand Can you withstand the pull of thousands of fears The Serpent flows through my veins and my tears I bled from the hands Book of despair Beasts of terror The Hound of burden Burned Into flesh Devoting to hopelessness I know the secret Named by the fallen end Knowing Holding Mark of the damned Growing Sorting Acts of the hand Can you withstand the pull of thousands of fears The Serpent flows through my veins and my tears My blood bleeds black Secrets lie in the eyes of the silent The devil hides In oaths they conjure The eyes of Good The eyes of Osborne The devil hides In oaths they conjure The eyes of Good The eyes of Osborne The devil hides The devil hides The devil hides In dormant eyes Die The serpent decides The serpent

Bares the mark His conscious sold Pour the vein Cover in stone Deliver the silence Decipher his oath He stands still with cold feet Empty bag full of bones Breathing into fires Only choirs feeding flames that you stoke Choking lungs under the weight of the piles of stone Choose the stories over kin Words left unspoke' I will not leave this earth Without the Holy Ghost Death will find you While the crow stares laughing Deliver your sentence Condemn me with my last breath You will cave in my chest For Manipulated treason Let your body come to rest Confide your conscious firmly Enjoy a breath of a reason For your love Punish the Defying the blessed And following The March the devil He breaths in the The Cursed and broken He breathes through the He breathes through the Punish me The hour comes sooner You're pressing me There's limits to calling the deities False rumors are crushing a hole through me You need more weight They follow the solace of god This false burden they breed Cave in my chest Beating my tongue into my throat Bewildered you've taken My wife and my home I lost the soft wind calling I lost the soft wind calling I will not plead I will not plead Sift through the ashes Uncover the snake Uncover the snake One by one you stack the stones I will not leave this country alone I'll shed the idea of hope Never forget deplorable souls No, please don't lie I will not plead I'm condemned already I won't confess to lies Accepting death in life More weight

I feel the season calling I see the road we're on I fear for all our safety I fear for Winter's loss Why has the sun departed Where have our values gone Sickness creeps towards our families Sickness, divide us all Set a tomb to the side for the wanted Set a tomb to side for the bleak Miracles only live in the conscious Query ones who's vile perceive Read the notes of words they're writing Read the words of the beaten man's scream Salem will soon be garnished With false words of the diseased Please don't be barred These boots are filled with scars Partaking in the destruction of all of the Lifeless, hopeless, unguided Reprising all of the motions towards violent Devotions to hail the enlightened Please don't be barred These boots are filled with scars Please don't be barred These roots are filled with scars I feel season calling I see the road we're on I fear for all our safety I fear for Winter's loss Winter's loss Say prayer for the ones who are hiding Save the ones who are trying to keep This land from all of the dying, They're fighting against our purity Please don't be barred These boots are filled with scars May he choose the predestination Enteral damnation haunts all he seeks May our guide consume the affection Conflicting temptation, depravity Please don't be long Our choice is up to God Please don't be long Our choice is up to God Why has the sun departed Where have our values gone Sickness creeps towards our families Sickness, divide us all Winter find us all Winter The primal habitants Defiling our covenant Unsettled coercions Terrify me Purify me

From the depths they shall climb Lives the tusk where fear shall shine The moon will blanket The stars align The roots of pain grow Still into night Still the pain will seek and find Behind the lie of hallowed minds Torn, consumed, the danger's prize Blackened sun, the Moon aligns A feast of flesh, we skinned the hide Sow the mouth we pacify Emaciate the lesser kind The tusk we bury Must enshrine Wait Before you go The scarlet eye guides through From the flood they plead and cried The sickness delved one hundred lives The fear consumed, the fear complied My faults displayed a bed of knives Voice of God or nature's design Forgive me father Truth shall shine Wield the tusk we bury alive My faith and power The devil and I The vein of strength must go The hour The vein exposed Stop loss We all are monsters Exalt us Necks have paid the dues of all of us They have paid the dues of Me Moon will blanket stars if night The roots of pain grow still into night Mouths sowed silent So inviting Sanctimony Bless the holy Mouths sowed silent So inviting Sanctimony Blessed holy Stab my heart to raise a toast to the Ones we gave to the tusk's blade of truth Raise the tomb We stabbed the heart to raise the tomb Wait before you go The scarlet eye cuts through The vein of strength must go The hour leaves the vein exposed Expose expose Expose expose Expose expose Stop the violence Sleeping quiet Stop the violence Behind it Stop the quiet Sleeping quiet Stop the quiet Stained behind it Silence Violent Violence Behind it Silence Violence Violent Behind it Behind it Stop the violence sleeping behind it Stop the violence sleeping behind it Stop the violence sleeping behind it Stop the violence sleeping behind it

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723
