I am reborn cold and heartless as a pillar of stone. No regrets, no remorse. I am your curse. I am your punishment. You're my disease. Piece by piece. Disassembled. Fucking burn. Your worth fades away. I turn my back on the dust of your memory. And what was always empathy, is now hatred. I don't need you. Word by word, I will tear you down. To tear you down I swear by these words. I am vindicated, my heart is hardened. Tempered by a world so cruel. Weakness, my enemy in a war of nerves. What is sympathy compared to stone? Let my love dissolve - I'm not your martyr. What a fool, he who would sacrifice himself for someone else. So quick to lust for someone's love. I am reborn as a pillar of stone. Unloved, unbroken. No regrets, no remorse. I am your curse. I am your punishment. You're my disease. Piece by piece. Disassembled. Fucking burn. Ripped from the pages, blotted out, cast away, disgraced and discarded. You pushed me away with your poison. I saw through everything: Your lies, your promises. I am your punishment. I am your end. Nothing need help mend this bitter hatred. Unloved, unbroken.
a perfect showcase for extreme technical mastery, but unlike almost every other band at this level, the complexity and skill is not the point at all, everything is so focused on expression, emotion, energy... Converge is untouchable Giles
Fusing ’90s metalcore, ’00s vaporwave, and ’20s cybergrind, the Texans' debut showcases an unprecedented unholy trinity. Bandcamp New & Notable May 17, 2023
"In a way, Lo! are the kind of band that impress more with the density of their sound rather than its size. Metaphorically. Despite not being a long album, The Gleaners is a huge album."
