This innocence
Take a good hard look
Though my outsides did crack
My bones never shook
I played all my cards
But the faces were low
As I pressed on
The cracks they did grow
There is nothing wrong
With a few drops of rain
But without you
In my life
I feel like I'm drowning
My whole life
I strayed from the line
My mother to my left
And nothing on the right
If I had to do it again
it would be the same
But this time
Without the rain
Unfortunate
Some might say
But I'm a better man
Since you walked away
Although I know not
What it's like to raise a son
I feel for single mothers
As I was raised by one
Father
How many times must I call your name
The answer is none
Because I'm the one walking away
I'm the one walking away

Mixed and Mastered by Joshua Wickman
From the very start of this album Artifact Implication is crushingly heavy and highly technical. Great production value and tonality. Short run time at only 17 minutes but as a free album you can't really complain.
9/10 syn
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here. mourner
