LeastSuccessfulHumanCannonball Descent from Mt. Doom, riff by riff, with juxtaposition of dark and light Favorite track: [vessel].

MetalManiac333 Listening to the mighty Merlock is at times like making your way ever so slowly down an eerie winding path filled with sludge to trudge through, creeping ever so closer to the ultimate doom! This is filled with intricately woven heavy & psychedelic riffs topped off with plenty of dirty gritty guttural singing throughout. There's even a touch of some cleaner vocals periodically which truly enhances the whole experience. Much 🖤 for this album!🤘😈🔥 Favorite track: prolapse.

idolon born in feral soil you withered in the rotting ground & as you drank the water you bloomed your ugly crown ...sever the roots with your own hand... spit out your purple lung they will drown you as you learn to swim so claw your way to the surface your reality devoured in this realm of hopelessness disgorge your viscera abandon your human form spit out your ugly heart it’s fear is to choke you down as you run for higher ground your reality devoured in this realm of hopelessness disgorge your viscera abandon your human form find your way through your void here i pray, waiting for you return
2.	prolapse 07:02	lyrics	buy track
prolapse lost inside your hell twisting through the nethers hopeless revelations swelter in your head shadow constellations splinter in your tongue speaking the language of ruin shedding your soul no part left uncorrupted how much can you endure dark light in your vessel broken diadems lapse in the silence of your breathing fails the mouth it calls home feel forbidden words burn taste their ash in your mouth the impulse consuming searching for the end pursuing ungodly ones dark days soon to come follow me home in your sick distortion oh my lamb, suffer at my hand broken light, lost in the darkness again

vessel wandering through this world barren of true light the moon eats shadows on a sun it swallows whole and where am i but in the pit of your stomach i bathe in the acid the future which burns my eyes heartless vessel draped in shadow wandering razed land crushing spirit flaying mind disfigured corpse head down like you always wanted me dragged down in your desperate water hopeless now this ghost buried in our dream ravaged, emptied, i’ll swallow every me ravaged, emptied, i’ll swallow your dying star you bastard! you sick fuck! you’ve taken everything! i’m left with nothing you’ve taken everything! except my soul!
4.	condemnation 07:42	lyrics	buy track
condemnation condemned... your disgusting ways baleful thoughts left you tainted rotting body twisted soul soon you'll die no escape you cannot be saved by your heartless rage you cannot be saved by your faithless ways still you pray with your dirty mouth still you pray through with your dirty teeth i am the mouth which eats tar from your heart i am the tongue which wags at your feet i am the rot you suck from your mother’s teet i am the blood you lap from your child’s wounds i am that which speaks from the corruption in your soul…. still you worship & still you pray still you worship & still you pretend to pray still you pray with your dirty fucking mouth still they pray through your crooked teeth

House of the Earth
by Willow Ash

supported by 336 fans who also own “that which speaks...”

A while back I reviewed a Willow Ash album for RavensBane Magazine. I really enjoyed it, but said I wished there had been more "Cradle My Sig" style songs on the record. House of Earth: Retrospect scratches that particular itch, even if most of the album is at a slower tempo. Here Guest is playing to all his strengths. The music is heavy, sludgy, and raw with interludes of weirdness and samples that fit the overall feel of the record. The vocals are spot on blackened death-doom screams. mccormickjm
