lyrics

The work it takes digging yourself out
Leaving a hole where your body was stuck
Dirt under your nails
Dig it out
Plant something else
This is all we’ve got.

Sepulcher
by Infant Island

supported by 6 fans who also own “A Labor of Love, A Fight to the Death - by Sarah H.”

There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723
