Conversations lead to ramblings: I shouldn’t be saying what I tell her
I think too much about what’s in the drain I clean around
Plastic and phlegm, little men farming ants along rivers of vegetable oil,
Climbing up ropes of grease to find me?
I told her only the garbage disposal blades keep us safe
But I don’t want to come off as weak yet
I don’t want to get into that time
I lit my tap on fire and felt St. Elmo’s blessing
I don’t want to recite the codes I translated that time
I tracked the pulses of the refinery flares
Blinking alchemical cyphers against the sky to their bloated iron brothers
Describing the geometries of demons writhing in petrochemical deposits

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
