lyrics

I step into the arena of battle as a well-oiled machine
Aware of your strategy well in advance, logic sanguine

I confront the preachers of ignorance
I show no mercy to charlatans

When basing your arguments on writings from the bronze age
Remember that your opponents possess two-thousands years of knowledge

I piss on the pulpits of magicians
I carry the fire of pure reason

If these symbols and scrolls hold ultimate power as you claim
If these forces are all-knowing, omnipotent, and pervasive
Then my blasphemous words will inevitably arouse their judgment
Here I stand, may your unquestioned beliefs strike me down

I will not bow to your superstitions

Preserving confidence in knowing that magic has no influence
Requires a philosophy that accepts knowledge's limits
Historically, new discoveries have often seemed supernatural
To generations of people accustomed to being led like cattle

To build on the teachings of ancestors
We strengthen the sum of our consciousness

“I am ignorant of that which I do not know”

Of Rot and Ruin
by Hath

supported by 13 fans who also own “Superiority In Wisdom”

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.
