Name: Crisis on Infinite Earth
Duration: P00H09M34S

lyrics

I’m standing here at the gate to heave stone, mix mortar, hang your slate. But this work well’s been held dry; there’s not a drop for you or I. It seems all that’s left for me to do is run a mile in someone else’s shoes and I could run and run for light-years, but there’s nowhere left to go. Our cosmic ambitions, they turned out chemical and cute. I don’t need my breath back, butty, my lungs are lined with soot. It’s a crisis on this infinite earth; the concept of year round spring-time erases all idea of worth. I’ve witnessed axes falling and head-baskets getting full, but there’s nothing I’ve ever seen like that look on a man’s face; eyes rolling, tongue twitching, mumbling intelligible verse from his favourite prayer. This table has to be wiped clean. I’ve left the plate and crumbs for the service.

Endlessly dark and yet subtly catchy, this might be some of the bleakest pop music you ever hear. (yes, that's meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek, as the compositions are too complex to actually be pop music). Hayduke X

I guess this is their most important release because it was the first and made them known to the first people out there. I sadly missed this for far too long. The more I'm glad to finally have found them now. Music with a rare kind of heavy bleakness and rich with tasty riffs and grooves. And the way the songs progress is always interesting. Conjurer keep pumping new life blood into metal up until now (early September 2022). Great band! mourner
