about

"boy is it a broiler. Do you like any of metal’s trends of the past decade (other than shitty slamcore)? Blackened rasps, sky-scraping post metal, doomy paces, technically inspired arrangements… Black Table offer all this and more"

"the quartet just released a new EP, Sentinel, which I’ve been rocking all day, and which is just A++++ WDBWA material"

Track Name: Heist
Under bruised skies, steel and blood sweat, from skin, our hearts humid like the mouths of wolves. We are the sons of chaos, left wild in darkness, beneath the moon. Trampled flowers in mud, with knives for petals. We will take your peace of mind, and we wont be the last we wont be the last. This the west, where young men are eaten and vomited kings. Heist! This a heist of the American dream, Heist! We will take your peace of mind. And we won’t be the last. We won’t be the last. This is...a heist of the American dream. This is a heist.
Track Name: Sentinel
let me die, upon a river. where the water creeps my flesh. have my form carry down. back into earth. Sentinel. Sentinel. I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to die. a priori. now so clear. finite, now infinite. Sentinel. Sentinel. To Live. Is to Die.
Track Name: To Tear Down
Final light of May. burning cold. undoing of passion. blackened grains of carbon. golden cross of hypocrisy, crowned. Jete dans Le Siene. Maid of Orleans. god is war. god is war, war is god. god is war, war is god. god, war. god. war. god. war.
Track Name: 1942
to the horizon, a remembering, death on the horizon, a dark star. It throbs in my gut, since birth. A shadow of a forgotten origin. I am a smear of primordial ache. a dead star. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen. A dead star, a dead star. The ruin of earth. The shudder of bombs. The wrath of kings. The christ of horror. The fall of Rome. In my flesh. In the blood an infinite tree stands. In the breath, I exist. In the water, I remember. Fire is my will and dark matter, my guide. I am a smear of primordial ache. A dead star, a dead star, full of dark matter.
