shepherd minding his flock by the sound
blind — forced to see with his weathered hands
and always at heel is a black sheep
who grazes, but never too far
who stays close to keep warm as the man sleeps
the sheep rests, but awake with the stars
the shepherd rests with his faith in the black sheep
ever alert of a wolf on the land
the sheep rests but awake with the stars
all sight needs light
the only eyes of this sightless shepherd
the only friend of this lonesome shepherd
a starless night without the black sheep’s sight
when the wolves tore his flock to red
all that he knew were the wolves well fed
anger and vengeance the black sheep receives
although undeserved
with loyalty the black sheep accepts it
humility for love of this old man
with loyalty the black sheep accepts it
submissiveness until the end

Answers the question of where Krallice would go after "Years Past Matter." Completely unclassifiable, the songs are simultaneously compact and complex. The playing and musicanship is breathtaking... "Wastes of Ocean" into "Over Spirit" being a prime example. It must also be said that Mick Barr is a badass motherfucker all over this album. "Agony in collective ignorance/Called upon by thyself/Thyself being a part of all life/In the sickness/Quarantined in pure paranoia" Pretty prophetic, right? bcb723

Car Bomb is basically the Mr. Bungle of extreme metal, if there was ever a comparison to be made. They always outpace you, turn your mind inside-out. Meta shows no signs of straying from that path, and is perhaps their best work. Highly satisfying. sky · ghost
This searing, four-track split from Bog Wizard (Michigan) and Dust Lord (Colorado) pairs stoner rock riffs with hard fantasy themes. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
