Blackout 06:50
Blackout the day Grimace the night Crushed by decay... I will blackout this sky Shackled -- Cruel Four Walls staring -- Constant; their screaming Drowning in mother's tears of disappointment Abandoned by fathers who never wanted the part I have felt the pangs of isolation, Lying down in my grave I blacked out to wait for the end of my life. I blacked out to wait for the end of my life... You...purged me with your closing eyes -- Like the oceans, streaming down, down, down Drowning me in tidal waves, They reminded me of that familiar isolation I felt During the worst, during the worst of my Blackout days It reminded me of the familiar desperation I felt During the worst of my Blackout days My lungs are fucking filled, I'm Breathing Deep for relief Let me out, Lift me out, Let me out of this grave Blackout the day, Bury the night Black out the wish for and end to this life Blackout the day Bury the night Blackout...

SERVANT OF FILTH Poison springing forth – sprung like a whore So sink into the womb of destruction Let the blood of your sins flow faster than before I saw your temples were drowning I watched your temples crash down All the world’s beneath the filth and the rats You fool yourself, and your “new future” I hope for you this façade – a fucking lifetime’s worth A life principle of cowardice, regret, and sorrow for the rest… A life principle of cowardice, regret, and sorrow for the rest of your days Close your eyes… And let your life drift away So sink into the womb of destruction Let the blood of your sins flow faster than before… Close your eyes, and let your life drift away – drift away Close your eyes, And let your life drift away...

Downpour 06:08
DOWNPOUR Breach the walls of illusion you keep so dear Feel the drip of your fear as it flees… A downpour of pain escaping your body You drained the mistakes to forget your life was never worth living Drain the mistakes, your life was never worth living You never had a place to call home… Thighs opened wide – desperate for love Dripping with sin -- you are the flesh pouring in Dripping with sin -- you are the flesh pouring in Desperation is all you’ll ever know… I am the companion consuming you flesh and bone Conscious and falling… The concrete draws close, These arms spread wide -- vast, like the sea… The welcoming – Your crowd steps aside, And watches a life of decay die today I am the downpour of everything you loved For at this final moment, remember all your pain… -- Let it burden you no more I am the downpour of your filthiest lies I am the downpour of your selfish fucking pride I am the downpour of your all that you despise I am the downpour…

THE SEVENTH WALL Pull me away towards eternity Lower the walls, open the gates Currents run deep, I’m drowning This heart was once true It falls in the haze Lower the walls… I have carved and I’ve clawed through starlight and the haze Beneath the beauty lies denial hid in his grave Our walls segregate our blindness from our hate I touched your hand and left you -- death's sycophant slave The eternal winter scars sorrow over landscapes Chilled to the bone, I have drowned in these lakes Lower the walls to eternity Lower these walls, open the gates Pull me away towards eternity Lower the walls, open the gates Your currents ran deep – I am drowning, drowning I’ve fallen down seven times, but am standing up an eighth I’ll wait to know truth, just to call it by name… I lower these walls, then open the gates Pull me away to eternity… Currents run deep, Striving, my heart strives for life Lower the walls – lower the walls Lower your walls – lower the walls "Save the pain I leave behind...I lived a life full of love. I smile now, and say goodbye. I'm right there by your side. Don't be sad, I am now free to be." The pain is over. Rest knowing we all still love you and that you'll always be with us. Love and miss you man...

CLAWING AT THE ROT I embrace the fall -- descend with elation A virtuous heart Now darkened by foreshadowed fate I was caught by the arms that had pushed me away -- towards the edge of the world I stood wishing for strength To turn back and face my mistakes Three times now fate has failed to grant me my wish, My wish for death Accepted, adorned Rejected, Reborn This coronation of thorns – I will reign hope over you all So hold close your dearest For god was never there to hear us Scribing and scratching at walls -- While detaching from truth and reality Though I am haunted day after day I became king, reigning over mistakes Clawing through rays of sunlight Staring back - the ash and bitter cold Is the winter of life’s welcomed chill -- seduced by the whisper of death, And this breath-taking ill? Accepted, Adorned Rejected, Reborn This coronation of thorns – I will watch your hope all slip away Through death, I have found life… I could not bear to ask for more For when you’ve lost everything – You see trophy in these lungs; You breathe… Hell-bound once, I now accept my addiction And I feel so alive Until you’ve heard the whisper of death, Life seems so fucking meaningless Accepted, Adorned Rejected, Reborn This coronation of thorns – I will reign hope over you all
6.
Adore 03:25
ADORE A grave so cold -- a coronation of thorns Accepted, adorned -- a coronation of thorns I’m accepted, reborn unto a destitute throne Let me reign hope, let me reign hope on you all Rejected, reborn unto a destitute throne; Let me reign hope, let me reign hope on you all I hope you will never feel vacant inside I hope you will never accept your death In a grave so cold -- a coronation of thorns Accepted, adorned -- a coronation of thorns I was accepted, reborn unto a destitute throne Let me reign hope on you all

Stay 04:05
STAY Take away your pride and bare – See truly what I am… Rained in upon this holiday, On the eve of such a distraction… As marked as these wounds are in blood, As shattered lives litter the streets, I’d cut open my eyes to see -- My own last fucking days of faded glory How troubled, riddled, sickle we are… So unable to restrain My counterculture has won, The numbness nevermore will stay away Just learn from my mistakes… Please learn from my mistakes. I would usher in the pain, The numbness nevermore will stay, will stay away I’d open up my veins And overflow with hate I usher in the pain, And open up my veins The numbness nevermore will stay, will stay away As marked as these wounds are in blood, As shattered lives litter the streets – I run, I cut open my eyes to see My own last fucking days of faded glory

about

"[The] shifts in style and tone are done with an almost innate knowledge from its members in how to artfully establish a sonic manuscript from which the band can pull for inspiration. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise given the pedigree of its members, but Underling are in a very advantageous position as being a band that truly can do just about anything in the course of an album and get away with it. Bloodworship may have been a sleeper from 2015, but Underling have shown themselves worth more than to be compartmentalized as a mere side-project, but as a powerful creative force that can go anywhere from here." 4/5 - HeavyBlogIsHeavy

"Bloodworship more than lived up to expectations based on their cast of characters. Best of all, Underling sound remarkably little like any of the members’ other bands; they are entirely their own beast, a lumbering mammoth-like mix of death metal, black metal, post-hardcore and post-everything." - Metalsucks

"Bay Area sorta-supergroup containing members of Fallujah, Arkaik, Battlecross, and Sidian takes a leap from the death metal roots of its members and voyages into black metal territory. “Servant of Filth” puts a spin on the Americanized atmospheric black metal sound dominated by tremolo picking and blastbeats by offering a filthy propulsive bass groove that seems like the sort of thing Altar of Plagues would have built a song upon." - heavyblogisheavy

"This isn’t a band you listen to while on your phone or even driving in your car. The message this band is conveying is too vital and meaningful to have as background music with other mundane life activities. You need to listen to this band when each song can penetrate you deep to touch your soul, provoking you from within. And with multiple masterminds of bands such as Fallujah and Arkaik working together, you have a band that’s adept in their musical talent but have something to say to the world." - theageofmetal

"This is more aggressive and grinding than most bands one might have compared Underling to previously. Before this, the members of Underling weren’t standing out from the crowd, either in this project of their others. Now they’re making more noteworthy music." - InvisibleOranges

This is Underling's first debut full length. The goal we wanted to achieve is that the listener will not just listen to this album - but FEEL it...and the vast amount of emotion we put into each song. These are songs written based on life experience and are completely genuine in nature.
