Thematically the album explores the concept of "death reverence" - drawing on recent personal experience to confront the truism that death and tragedy aren't always sudden or violent, that people are often passive observers trapped "in the silent horror of observing death calmly and cleanly". "Stare Into Death and Be Still" is the deepest, purest and most meticulous form of ULCERATE: a soul-searching conflagration of atypical melodicism, immaculate virtuosic dexterity and sublimated psychological upheaval. A breathtaking new beginning for one of the most uniquely talented bands in extreme music. Recommended if you like: GORGUTS, IMMOLATION, PORTAL TRACKLIST: 1. The Lifeless Advance 2. Exhale the Ash 3.
