Jón Þór Sigurleifsson One of the best albums of 2018 so far and one of the best mathcore albums to come out of the scene in the last few years.

From front to back an incredibly strong collection of songs filled with varied vocals, killer riffs and some incredibly tight drumming.

Every song is killer, press play and enjoy. Favorite track: The Pointy End.

Thrown from the safety of home, Excommunicated from the hive, Our world is collapsing, And everything we know is caving in on itself. We're living on the edge, The light is seeping through the cracks in the walls. The new sun is blinding. We've awoken on the edge, The light is blinding. The walls have grown apart. Releasing the swarm. We're living on the edge, The light is seeping through the cracks in the walls. The new sun is blinding. Our world has become a cold, dead place. Rip them apart, watch the skin fall off of their bones. Leave it all behind, condemn it and burn it down. Cast the final stone and match, Before the final plan of attack. Bury it, leave no trace. Through these vibrations, They've dug their own graves. There's no way out of here.

You can't take your eyes off of these, bright lights. synthetic consciousness, Clouding all we see and breathe, What have we become? I'd like to think that we're in charge of what we eat, Don't you dance around like a dog to their tricks. I'd like to think that we're in control of who or what we put out front. I can't believe my eyes, You're eating from the hands of a murderer, Eat it slowly, Don't wait for me to choke on the the poison in their arms. It affects how we think. how we love, How we die. It's making us hallow and you know it, Please come home don't leave us here to die.

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Signals 01:55
These blinding signals of anxiety are streaming from their lifeless bodies. Rip them out. Tear them apart. I can't be conscious. This can't be real. My eyes are open but I'm not awake, I'm locked in this perpetual state of a lack of unawareness. This is what you've been waiting for. These blinding signals of anxiety are streaming from their lifeless bodies.

Shoot the messenger, Shoot the perpetrator, Everyone's guilty in sickness and health. We're all stuck in this rat race to reach for the light, the stars, for glory and wealth. We're all fucking killers. Leave no witnesses. Worthless savages, (Blood of the north) Godless godful, (Blood of the south) Nonsensical, (Blood from the west) Heathens.

Shiver 03:27
I can feel these vibrations inside, I'm shaking. Can you hear me? Is there anything inside? Can you feel it? Are you breathing? Do you feel alive? An overwhelming darkness has arrived. It's cold, it's dim, We're not alone. This presence enters the room. You're scared, you're sick, You need to hold on tight, before this presence resides within you. I can feel these vibrations inside, I'm shaking. Can you hear me? Is there anything inside? Can you feel it? Are you breathing? Do you feel alive? An overwhelming darkness has arrived. You've already lost control. You've already lost all control. There's no stopping it now. There are no more vibrations inside, I'm shaking it off. There's a thin veil of frost coating the body. I'm cold as ice, cold as hell.

Anchor my feet to this earth, Anything to keep me from floating away again. I can't stand to lose my grip this time around. Drown. Suffocate. The ocean's waves are washing over me, The salt stings any open wound. This liquid fear is filling my lungs. Human guilt is washing over me. Please forgive me. I can't feel anything. It's as if it was all in my head. But I could feel them watching me. Every glance behind me leaving me colder. I can't feel anything. It's as if it was all in my head. As if they didn't give me a choice, I'm just running around this maze. There's no exit behind these doors. No master key to let me out. I can feel myself leaving my body. But I could feel them watching me. Every glance behind me leaving me colder. Anchor my feet to this earth, Anything to keep me from floating away again. I can't stand to lose my grip this time around. I can't feel anything.

Curses 02:20
I'm filled with fear as this feeling surrounds me, My heart drops at the sight of this empty place. I know it's here. I know need to come back. I can feel this presence though it carefully avoids the glow. I can feel this presence in the dust and air. My lungs grow tighter as I feel it close. Just the thought will make my skin crawl, I await the kiss of death. I feel it now. Slow down. Let me savor the moment. Every twist and turn. I can feel it tunneling deeper inside now.

Jenga Fever 03:19
Hours past sunset, I hear an ominous sound, I pay no mind and now I'm filled with regret. Now I hear it. Please don't take me. I have nothing. Please don't take me. I don't need to go away. I cannot find my fucking way, out of this cavernous decay. My eyes open, I can feel the rays, The glow is scarring deep inside me. They surround me, Sentient beings from another planet, "Oh my god, is this really happening?" Is this real or am I still asleep? They are drawing closer, But I can see behind the curtain. Out the window is all we know, A distant memory now.
