lyrics

The highway walls are no longer concrete
But tectonic strata of granite, plastic, and the gnarled remnants
Of past accidents
Stretching further into luminous strings from my endless motion
My skin is no longer flesh or steel
I’ve polymerized, extruded and lathe-cut,
Spiraling like a drill into the wall before me
Forgetful of the endless booming of heavy footsteps
Below screaming sawblade choirs

I’ve said I’ll arrive one of these days at the new Uaxuctum
When speed becomes stillness
When the road’s streaming bands all converge
To align in shimmering palatial terraces
And once all your fine vapors seep through the soil
I’ll just be watching there
I’ll be laying on the Eight Stones, cast in reinforced concrete
And my smoke will grind against them
Screeching out through kettle spouts
And my smoke will grind against them
Bellowing out through smokestacks
And my smoke will grind against them
Laughing

Endless Detainment

Habituellement, j'écris mon commentaire dans la foulée une fois que j'ai terminé tel ou tel album mais là... J'ai vraiment besoin de quelques minutes, pour reprendre mes esprits. Parce que Serpent Column a totalement perdu le sien dans Endless Detainment. Cet E.P., c'est un cataclysme de black/death metal cacophonique et hystérique qui tient sur vingt-et-une minutes et qui ne s'arrête jamais — au point de s'achever avec un fade out. Tout tient ensemble grâce à un sens de la technique inhumain ! Jordan Vauvert
