Stare into the bit that was etched Into time and space, then egress forever trapped in amber forever trapped together forever trapped We watch you hang, are you alive On the wall, in plain sight Sweet vessel, empty and light I was just projecting Here come back, from the edge Where you left your sick and dying for dead A moment, trapped in your head Forever, trapped, forever, trapped, forever

Up there with Chyekk, Tanith, Albion... Looping this back-to-back with Songs of Solitude and dancing my ass off! (Sorry I lost my original comments b/c I closed my Bandcamp account in a pet over constant reCAPTCHA obstruction. It preserved my purchases but not comments.) So much incredible music from this artist even since this recent release! sun-dappled-dacy

I think this may be my favorite Acidbat thus far. There is a real sense of place conveyed. It may be a cold inhospitable place, but there is still emotion in this place. Wonderful work all around. justin headrick
