i was trained to be a priest
alone a grownup in the east
and i offended many gods
because i made them fall apart
and there is nothing i can do
to make it be a part of you
there is solace in the past
as long as we keep dreaming and observing
that there's other denizens who make it last
i was trained to be a soldier
it's off the record, but i told you
and i can hold many grudges
regardless of what it touches
as other denizens can make it last
there's other denizens to make it last
if it wasn't for the money i'd be your friend
wait till sun come down
and i didn't find it funny the first time we met
so you put another penny on the crown
and i was trained to be a victim
there's nothing left for me to do
here in the vessel i get sick in
i'm sick of me i'm sick of you
If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound.
The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP. mistermunn

Fantastic soul metal. Grimmrobe
Despite the odds being throughly against them, Z&A has found a way to meld slave music with black metal to surprising effect.
An acquired taste, yes. But one well worth acquiring. Grimmrobe
