FOUR

TheEliteExtremophile
Deft percussion, vacillating guitar, and lush synth, string, and brass textures are this band’s bread and butter. The songs build effective tension, and each track is distinctive while also fitting into the album’s unified whole.

I can hear their voices in the back of my head.
I can see their silhouettes waiting on me. Inching on me.
I can feel their presence weighing down on me. Expecting me.
And I bite my tongue to keep them at bay.
But I'm afraid, that they'll escape.

Crying
out of the void
she can't see.
Frightened
not knowing
where she will be.
Screaming
Falling to my knees / Fallen to our knees
How did I end up here? / How did we end up here?
Wondering
What will be
Am I dreaming? / We're not dreaming.
How can this be? / I can't believe
she's real.
