Track By Tracks: Imperishable - Revelation In Purity (2025)

About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

As a whole, the title of this record is based on the revelation of what true purity is. To be free of religion and restraint.

Musically, this record is fast and aggressive, but still retains discernible musicianship throughout. The performances on this record highlight the compositions. All parts are moving and working together to further strengthen each song.

Lyrically, the record ranges from topics of religion, health, personal struggles, and sacrifice.

But there is no low-hanging fruit. It is largely up to the listener to interpret.

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

1. Oath of Disgust:

Musically, this song is one of the more technical. Quite a few twists, like clean singing over blast beats and Black metal chords, but it is overall memorable, fast, and aggressive. The guitar solo is dark and well-phrased throughothe ut chord changes.

Lyrically, the song is loosely based on personal sacrifice that is never fulfilling or reciprocated. The constant struggle for greatness.

2. Exclusion Continuum:

Musically, this tune has a darker vibe. A haunting guitar melody over dark chords in the intro gives an eerie presence. Eventually, the song leads into a breakneck pace, but not overly complicated riffing, with a mosh-worthy groove section in the middle.

Lyrically, it deals with personal betrayal and the strength to overcome through hatred, perseverance, morals, and principles. Thus, it is a song of confidence and positivity.

3. Revelation In Purity:

Musically, this song has a very catchy main riff. The verse section is more akin to black thrash, while the bridge brings an Angelcorpse vibe. Aggressive and catchy throughout. The ending brings a slow funeral doom feel, with an evil, brooding guitar solo to conclude the journey.

Lyrically, this song is anti-religion. Purity in the Christian context is unrealistic and misguiding. The revelation is that true purity is freedom from religion.

4. Spewing Retribution:

Musically, it is an onslaught of aggressive picking and fast blast beats. Letting off the jugular only momentarily for a Dimebag meets Ihsahn guitar solo, before ramping back up again. This song is a staple of the aggressive sound the band has achieved.

Lyrically, the song is again anti-religious. But, crafted so in a more poetic, interpretive manner, rather than outright violence and hatred.

5. Iniquity:

Musically, it is tuned down and a bit sludgy. Some new elements are introduced momentarily with clean guitar and clean vocals, leading to Morbid Angel meets Immolation style riffing. Slow, grooving, and evil. The ending harmony leads into some murky, unsettling territory.

Lyrically, the song is loosely based on living a healthier lifestyle. It was inspired by Alex's weight loss journey

6. Where Dead Omens Croon:

Musically, it is a jagged piece. Starting with alternating technical blackened style riffs, then immediately racing into Angelcorpse speed worship. The bridge is filled with an interesting array of emperor-ish clean vocals, followed by a classic harmonized guitar section before jolting back to the frantic black/tech of the intro.

Lyrically, it's loosely based around the death of Brian's grandfather, the birth of his son, and how it's affected his touring lifestyle.

7. The Enduring Light Of Irreverence:

Musically, the final track is a linear journey. Lots of ideas that develop and mutate to describe the journey into irrelevance. The journey takes us through many styles, from ugly black metal to tightly performed death metal, while never losing focus and musicality. The song premieres 4 guitar solos of varying involvement. Each one is deploying varying degrees of Brian's signature black/blue style. The final section of the song introduces a dark progressive climax, with a very tasteful guitar solo conclusion.

Lyrically, the song is an interpretative journey towards one's own freedom from religion, which is the ending light, the enduring liberation.
