📓 Linger Lyrics:
I don't want to hear
I don't want to see
All truths forgotten
Replaced by confusion
What is this feeling
Lingering in me
I don't want to feel
I don’t know what’s real
What is this feeling
Lingering in me
It sets in, it hangs heavy
There is no light here
It’s setting in
I feel the pain become me
The burden instilled in us all
Consumed by tainted truths
What do you require of me?
I feel the pain become me
It’s setting in, it hangs heavy
What is this feeling
Lingering in me
It sets in, it hangs heavy
There is no light here
It’s setting in
I feel the pain become me
It sets in, it hangs heavy
There is no light here
It’s setting in
I feel the pain become me
Eyes forced open
And I ache
Starved of hope
Await to surrender

That's definitely one thing I say when describing H.L.B.. Along with heavy as fuck, or brutal, I talk about how artistic the music is. I really appreciate that aspect of it.

[@CrzyWzrd4L]

@@thecauldronofdarkness1757 Best way I can describe newer HLB is just “overwhelming”. The new singles have an uncanny ability to completely overwhelm your emotional receptors and leave you awestruck because you don’t really know what to feel. Fantastic for the length of an album, but not something the average person could listen to constsntly.

[@thesilverjohn]

The production is insane. Buster is one of the top tier mixing engineers out there in my book

Still pushing the boundaries of what heavy metal is known for every single time you drop new material. Excelent.

[@rickeccles7893]

The suspense is already killing me. 'Instill' scratched a musical 'itch' I didn't know I even had. Trying not to get my hopes up too high for this one 😂 Happy to report this new track "Linger" absolutely destroys. 6th listen and I'm starting to notice all the cool little details. The future of extreme metal is in safe hands.

I'm so sorry for your loss omg( I can say that I have clinical depression actually but idkw after both Instill and Linger I felt like wow I wanna live fuck that depression.

What an unimaginable ability, holy shit...

It's about how they're the only piece of metal most 'people' know.
