Сats and Metal Media some guy described this release as a perfect blend of anime lofi and metalcore. I'd probably agree

IDE Don't be afraid to break yourself, because Desolate's nu-metalcore keeps breaking. ★

MyNameIsRedundant Although i don't think that it's as strong as Oyasumi, it lives up to my hopes for the band.
It's clear that Desolate are pushing in a new direction while keeping their core sound. Not without a stumble here or their, but it succeeds where I think it matters most.
I wasn't initially a fan of the prompts feature, it has warmed on me quite a lot.
The instrumental tracks also felt like less of a stopgap on destruction compared to oyasumi. Favorite track: Rebirth.

kadarin187 This is musical therapy at its finest. Steeped in anime and literature references, Desolate does something beautiful: They take their pain and transform it into music. If you listen carefully, you'll understand that this is hopeful. That creation is always hopeful. It will serve as a companion, if you are in a dark place right now.

what's the point in watching all my friends die? what's the point in singing these old fucking lines? 33 vertebrae yet no sign of backbone I guess I knew one day I'd find myself all alone [1] my disposition to existence never coping with the distance I paved my road to hell fuck, I'll admit it countless days spent dreaming of death because together we had nothing left (we have nothing left) this always ends in a forced exit this grave was ours until you left it separate the skin from my bones satiate the hell we called home [2] and if you'd rather die on your own suffocate my soul before you go "あんたバカァ?" my malice aforethought let my dreams rot everything you need is everything I'm not everything you need is all for naught everything you need is everything I'm not (the past is never dead) once again, in the end all I see are seas of red [3] what's the point in watching all my friends die? what's the point in living through another night? I think that... you are the same as me ripping old wounds to see if your heart's finally fucking done bleeding I've been Burning in Water and Drowning in Flame [4] every day since has been 3rd degree pain I'm all that's left so who takes the blame? heaven without you is hell all the same I feel the seven eyes still watching me [5] send down your best so you can watch them... angels, reign over me preying in the dark feeding our agony angels, reign over me send down your best so you can watch them bleed AUTHOR'S NOTES 1 - NERV 2 - The Difference Between Hell and Home - Counterparts 3 - In the end... and Dahmer 4 - Charles Bukowski 5 - SEELE

let's set the scene; a dying girl with a dying dream broken, OD'd so love, what's it gonna be? when life's so empty you sought love you found vice you sought god but he blacked out every light there's no time to bleed sold your soul for safety yet every night you leave feels like hell on repeat suicidal sleep won't you come and comfort me? let me sleep you were fractured, abused if existence was the game; you were destined to lose now the wolves are through and they even left you perversity supersedes their lack of sympathy fuck their sympathy (mind break) drowned in the deep; the broken girl with the broken teeth no hope, no peace no need for an EMT when death comes cheap no hope, no peace nothing to love, nothing to bleed the paradigm of misery no hope, no peace so let me fucking sleep when death comes cheap what's the point, what did I miss? broken hearts on bloody wrists you found heaven in a needles' kiss ONESEVENSEVEN ZEROONETHREE this is not oyasumi this is how it's supposed to be no hope, no peace 消えたい the second child sleeps alone tonight [1] AUTHOR'S NOTES 1 - The fate of destruction is the joy of rebirth

we watched our love shatter like shards of glass skin stained with blood bleeding out; crawling back you can burn the memories till the ashes fill your dreams still so close yet out of reach just say my name before you leave me with nothing these vile, frail thoughts want me dead cursed by our empathy no conviction (no) reprieve we let the process repeat we watched the sun burn itself out at last tears run with blood painting us in shades of black you can burn the memories till the ashes fill your dreams so close yet out of reach "just say goodbye before you leave" [1] this life revoked any hope for me and you so crush my throat until my lips turn blue look me in the eye and split my hand in two [2] split my hand in two I'll manifest these words as razors to my tongue so every phrase of love cuts deeper... deeper than the last one you are the hell inside of me the closer you are the harder it gets to leave so sink your teeth sink them as you please you are the light and I, the deep the further you are the harder it gets to breathe so sink your teeth sink them till I bleed the further you are the harder it gets to breathe so sink your teeth I feel nothing Third Impact imminent "come, sweet death" [3] AUTHOR'S NOTES 1 - "Day 54" by letlive. 2 - The End of Evangelion, Asuka and the Spear(s) of Longinus 3 - "Komm, Süsser Tod" by ARIANNE

can we make it through the night? cause I'm terrified the sleepless dreams the silent screams I'm neck deep in an endless sea of memories [1] yeah it's drowning me, the reality "my past is everything I failed to be" [2] lost souls all collide at first they bend and break just to make it work "the fate of destruction, is the joy of rebirth" (don't leave my...) buried like a parasite this bitter voice lies deep inside don't ask me why I can't decide when every breath feels like a lie we lived and died on borrowed time this emptiness is suicide there's no hope this time is the end in sight? you suffocate unflinchingly no tears shed; don't look at me your gaze filled with vacancy still drowning me complacently [3] cause those eyes might make me stay I'll sleepwalk my days away to hell with this, to hell with fate (don't leave my...) buried like a parasite this bitter voice lies deep inside don't ask me why I can't decide when every breath feels like a lie we lived and died on borrowed time this emptiness is suicide there's no hope this time can we make it through the night? the night, the night don't leave my side cause I'm terrified that I might just survive tell me, what's it all worth? when every new blessing feels more like a curse will this only get worse? (the night, the night) I fear it's death or rebirth breathe in, breathe out sink in, sink down another lesson on depression just like I had expected who would've ever guessed it (E double S) self reflection turned rejection no less than you expected I think I've found my exit I think I've found my... おやすみ it's fucking death or rebirth with me it's always fight or flight you contemplate our suicide so let's stop and hit rewind I don't bark; you won't bite the bitter talk is slight so can we make it through the night? the night, the night don't leave my side cause I'm terrified that I might just survive tell me, what's it all worth? when every new blessing feels more like a curse will we only get worse? (the night, the night) I fear it's death or rebirth the night, the night don't leave my side "the fate of destruction, is the joy of rebirth" AUTHOR'S NOTES 1 - Human Instrumentality Project 2 - Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet 3 - The End of Evangelion, ONE MORE FINAL: I need you.
