I have to go.
I don’t enjoy this anymore.
Sometimes it’s the way she says my name.
Sometimes it’s the way she tries.
Violence.
I have to go.
I’ll never force you to stay.
Meeting you was supposed to make me happy; but I still want to die.
How am I supposed to fix something inside of me that you broke?
It’s not when I’m sleeping.
It’s not when I’m yelling to be heard but not to listen.
Your hubris and self-loathing is so attractive.
I’m gonna make you fall in love with me, just so that I can break your heart.
Lonely heart columns.
La tristesse durera toujours.
Black teeth, knife and heartbeats.
Laughter and fear.
Yes it fucking hurts.
And I'll keep ripping until it bursts.
If I could just tell you how much I need you in one verse.
If I leave you, you won’t be able to leave me first.
I am fucking worthless. Fucking hurt me.
But I still want to die.
Meeting you was supposed to make me happy.
How am I supposed to fix something inside of me that you broke?

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
I like the direction the band went on this record.
They took the atmosphere of TDP, and made it grittier and dirtier - it's reminding me of bands like Deftones in the best possible way.
There are a few tracks that I'm struggling to like, but even those have memorable moments that make me want to replay them again. Vivian
