Nearly two years have passed since the unveiling of their debut album 'Let The Earth Reclaim Me.' Now, with fervent anticipation, Destruction of the Healer resurfaces with their latest EP, 'Dreaming Deep In Breathless Sleep.' This EP stands as a significant departure from their previous releases, all of which were exclusively solo endeavors on the part of Jackson Meldrum.
Embracing a full band dynamic for the first time, the lineup for this EP boasts Jackson Meldrum on guitar and vocals, Baxter Dick-Evans on guitar, Ethan Button on drums, and Darby Ball on bass.
Dreaming Deep In Breathless Sleep crafts a captivating journey, delving into intense emotions, dark fantasy, and the haunting echoes of love's decay.
lyrics
We are the graveyard stalkers Skulking around after dark
Freeing the dead from their slumber With our gift of necromantic art
Bodies go missing en masse To where no one can follow our tracks
Bodies stacked and piled prepared for procedural defilement
And use in our most immense task
Forged and refined by my blade Enthralled and reborn into slaves
Their minds are ejected bodies half resurrected To become possessions of mine
Those who have recently died Are soon to be working the shrine
Veneration of, the completion of The Temple of unholy divines
Destroy the meek unravelled like twine The gracious gift of undeath divine
Mutilated corpses rebind This loathsome world will soon be mine
These seraphic gifted visions It’s all become so clear
Who I am and what I must do Take hold of what’s beyond
Towers are built at my behest Unknown to those who are left bereft
Oblivious to our mockery Our perverted requiem
As their pickaxe cuts the slate The flesh will slowly rot away
Where one falls two will replace my carrion hive-mind won’t abate
Their pathetic lives are bartered with my masters
Their souls are traded for powers unblessed
With just my hands and blade I forge another minion
You stand before a god
They burned her body before I could save her She should’ve been returned to me
Now with my legion of atrocities I shall be rid of all this fucking filth humanity
Now take my hand and see through my eyes
It’s the end, the end, the end of all time
Now take my hand and see through the lie
Bring the end, the end, the end of their lives
The melding of death, blackened and power metal here makes for a consistently dynamic, engaging listen; and a very promising start to what will hopefully be a fruitful career. JPR
Channeling philosophical quandaries into cavernous death metal, the Australian trio turn modern power struggles into an aural advantage. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 13, 2022
Culinary-themed melodic death metal outfit cook up a smorgasbord of fierce solos, tight percussion, and cheeky, foodie-approved screeds. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2024
Yes! Beautiful tech dm. All instruments can be heard, great mix. A lot of good death metal suffers from bad & blurry mixes.
Better with each listen. Creative song parts and song writing. Will definitely stay on personal power rotation. imprint
