You are buying a CD, smashed to shit by us, Asketia. We will film it, we will break it, and we will send you the pieces. For best results, shove them into your CD one at a time while mashing the PLAY button. Don't have a CD player? You can cram the smaller bits into the ports on your phone. It's all the same to us.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Cut it all away
One piece at a time
Give it all away
Your feelings and your body

Leave nothing but the bone
Leave nothing of yourself
Leave nothing for the worms
Leave nothing for yourself

Wake
for once think of yourself
Hate
is all I create

My only kindness here
is to crush all hope
This is from me to you
my sincerest gift

As the rain falls
from your eyes
and I pretend
I'm not broken

Cut your stitches open
Let yourself bleed again
Is this what you want?
Is it just the only thing
Keeping your shell warm
Lighting fire in your heart
Does cold let you breath
As anguish calms your mind

Stay here
Be still
I should
Be gone

My only kindness here
Is to crush all hope

about

Asketia Rovaniemi, Finland

Gutturally visceral Death Metal from the desolate wastelands of the Arctic. Haunting songs paint a bleak picture of the apocalypse we call modern life. The winter is coming...
