A fraud in plain sight, Living in eternal night.
A hollow shell, empty and numb.
No soul, all out of control
In darkness, I dwell, in my mind, I see hell.
You and I, we’re not alright, it’s never fine, no
All my own mistakes, this never-ending self-hate
So, we’ll try to live a lie, I’d rather die, so.
So, I'll smile as I know nothing.
I’m talentless but connected
A fraud in plain sight
Living with no light
Not even in the dark I can hide
I’m trapped in the cycle of lies,
haunted by fear of being compromised
In darkness, I dwell, in my mind, I see hell.
You and I, we’re not alright, it’s never fine, no
So, I'll smile as I know nothing.
I’m talented and connected
So, we’ll try to live a lie, I’d rather die, so.
I can’t stop seeking validation
I’m verified and respected
I’m a counterfeit
Talentless but connected
Why hate me?
I'm perfect
Why hate me?
I'm perfect

There is just no way to properly describe the journey that this album provides, with its enormous riffs, varied sound throughout and the raw emotion of it all. A rare perfect album... Agent Echo
Before Ashen, I thought they were overrated. Deathcore bands seem to have a capacity to evolve quickly. I’ve seen quite a few bands in this genre grow exponentially from one album to the next, and Ashen is a particularly strong example. Metallurgical Fire
This album immediately slaps you in the face with some of the chunkiest bass lines you will ever encounter, and then sucks you in with a stupendous ride through a surprisingly wide array of emotions. Fractal Sliver
Iranian metal band Confess channel their struggles with political oppression and exile into cathartic, groovy thrash. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 2, 2022
Chicago deathcore outfit Into the Silo torch everything in sight on this searing new LP with riffs that will leave bruises. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2022
Pioneering Rhode Island mathcore legends follow up their first album in 21 years with a head-spinning four-track EP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
I am more a melodeath guy than deathcore, but I enjoy all the symphonic elements or rythym changes. This album is a BLAST omg my neck hurt, so much headbang🤘🤘 olive855
