To finish the EP off, the last song picks up exactly where "Verdant" started. This time, however, with more emphasis on the oceans of our world with regards to pollution and moreover their fates due to global warming.
"Azure" describes an exaggerated dystopian vision in which the world's oceans are completely boiled down to salt as a result of ever-increasing temperatures, but which is accepted under the guise of human progress as the single argument for keeping this course - the "azure pill" we're forced to swallow.
With oceans vaporised to deserts - our planet's backbone decocted - we too as humanity will die of thirst in this former basin of life.
Regarding the musical aspects of this song, the most parts were composed to resemble ocean waves - always and constantly following one another almost relentlessly.
lyrics
Beneath the atmosphere - Where the treacherous sky
Accompanies the disguise of the sea
The global petri dish is degenerated to an ash barrel for hazardous waste
A vessel of azure salt: Pressed to a pill
As an excessive demand (to) a scarce reservoir
Inundates anguish with marginal concerns
Concealed under the ensign of progress?
Concealed under the ensign of progress!
An ocean of corpses, remnants fed for evolution
With a bucket of organs, a can full of manure
A tank filled with feces of nescience - the malnutrition of offsprings
An ocean of corpses, remnants fed for evolution
While the sky was ruptured, it frugally condoned the elixation
of its own marrow, of its own marrow.
The aftermath in its entirety
Unbosoms earth's decocted medulla
A vessel of azure salt: Pressed to a pill
For humanity's voraciousness, to die in a pool of birth
For humanity's voraciousness, to die in a pool. Of. Birth.
Azure.

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito
This is fantastic! Some seriously tasty brutal tech death, with absolutely crushing riffs, rhythm, and vocals.
The album's production and mixing is also perfect, it's very balanced and allows the music to shine through the brutality.
Highly, highly recommended! somethingsomething9
