Rowan Sauer This album absolutely rips. It’s the long-missing piece between The Voyager and Inverted. All the elements that make ADO so great are in full force with Kapper’s signature harshes, pummeling microtonal riffs, and oppressive heaviness. It’s a must-buy for fans of the band. Favorite track: The Passage.

Gnome 03:41
I'm burning all desires of the world I'm burning all desires of the world We stand on the edge of the downward spiral And your dying to breath as you are choking us all out

They say I'm dead Walking in a living world Because the sign of a failing sun Is often shown before your eyes The giants they slay us Right below the belt Below the belt enough to scar I'm like a zombie without an appetite My ability to smell for miles is a trait that is dead This vision is a failure it's goodbye In the hopes I come back safely leave the fire lit to guide my eyes brightly Swarm like the clouded storm, let the tides and the dark clouds open up And I promise you that the plague responds like the giants do Revenge I was born to fray and fall apart (my heart will mend) As you gained fame while on the devils trail As you gained fame in hopes to shock the world Gold stars above I wanna be But my ghost below is my enemy I have enough shine to spare I have enough shine to spare To destroy the sun I have enough shine to spare To destroy the sun To destroy the sun I'm gonna kill I'm gonna kill I'm gonna kill everyone

Eyes focus upon the bridge that makes us lethal Eyes focus upon the bridge that makes us drown Don't tell no one about your religious tongue that gags Eyes focus upon the bridge that makes us drown Heed the blind man's stare To witness the darkness They seem to warn again I've found They seem to warn again the sound With every order, with every order There's no sense for light when all this black is comforting Eyes focus upon the bridge that makes us lethal Eyes focus upon the bridge that makes us drown Don't tell no one about your religious tongue that gags Eyes focus upon the bridge that makes us drown Our voice, it makes us lethal Our voice, it is lethal Our voice, it is redemption Pull the plug, cut their hopes Opinions spit in throats To choke as we kneel and bleed The names of every, every goddamn one Cut their hopes Opinions spit in throats To choke as we kneel and bleed The names of every, every goddamn one But remember talk is cheap The cast-iron jawbone speaks

Nautical 05:31
worlds apart and yet I feel so close and she can since the wealth from sea to shining filth yes we've trained ourselves to proceed with extreme caution yeah we've trained ourselves for this driving force of winds that blow the sails from the, from the bowels of hell yes we've trained ourselves to ride this storm alone there's not a goddamn thing you can do so just save yourself no, there's not a goddamn thing you can do so just save yourself and rot alone now bring this silence home now bring this silence home you're the culprit I've sowed this is when I take hold now bring this silence home and stand as it rushes up now bring this silence home and stand as it rushes up yeah we've trained ourselves for this driving force of winds that blow the sails from the, from the bowels of hell yes we've trained ourselves to ride this storm alone there's not a goddamn thing you can do so just save yourself no, there's not a goddamn thing you can do so just save yourself and rot

I'm undone as the thread That holds my heart in place Was cut as the sun dipped its head to the sea Directions turn to cross the path the gods have laid These sores of the western rise to shine will make them explode with ruptured embrace With heartache in place it makes me implode with back strokes With back strokes I'm fighting a losing battle If only the dreams were made for real, were made for real If only the dreams were made for real The beauty is in the eye of the beholder It's only the ugly thing And it's the only ugly thing Unless the tide will break The world has fallen The current will silence me The world has fallen The black of the water The world has fallen My smile will widen finally The world has fallen The culprit is born The culprit is born With back strokes I'm fighting a losing battle A losing battle A losing battle In case you didn't hear, I'm drowning in it (x 4) Now this round burst of blood Is found on the western shores Engulfed by the tides of dirt That cover its shine with filth Reveal its true hue and its skill This desert sky needs help Enjoy to destroy hell Its true colors will

The Passage 05:06
Born from the pages of a novelist And confined to a war of words meant for specialists This day will not be forgotten Blood only spilled from the catastrophe Enemy, born on the pages of a novelist Only god will protect us now But he is away in hell So you see you can sacrifice Vision for the blinded lamb So you've never ended Forgotten worlds are just now beginning In the darkness with a ruthless mind I can't help myself Get me outta here alive I shake the hand of the enemy Now I'm the one branded outside our loyalty Standing up for our rights Standing up for our rite of the passage Sinner When everyone is obvious Our path will lead us to the passage

Tuskcutter 03:52
poachers beware! i am savy with that machete on ivory? i'm impaired it's the season for skin to fall from hides of the hunter's bear now decide how you fair tonight's the night the predator is prey sharpen blades! you live your life as a poacher you seem to care just like the road ahead and take your tusk and pass on you've cut the animal! they say you claim to reprise your role you have a target painted on your forehead it bears the mark now you run all of the ones who cut the tusk they say to reprise your role i'm sick of all the blood the ground's all like fire but the time has it soaken up so just this once i have taken this role from the cutter of bones you live your life as a poacher you seem to care just like the road ahead so expose your throat as i sharpen blades you've cut the animal i am the fucking butcher i am the fucking butcher i am the fucking butcher i am the fucking butcher i will be the one who will cut the sores from the palms of the hands of a god

Vinland 04:01
Run! They're coming! In case you didn't notice their smell That cuts the trail right through the clearing So they all forfeit, so they all forfeit guilt On broken ground, it's a blessing to have stilts But on solid ground, it's a burden to have doubt So give me all your eyes to drown in your stares No forgiveness Attentive bastards make the greatest thoughts seem real In this wasteland I feel dead I feel born again I'm wasting away and I'm born again Alone but I'm whole again And I'm born again alone But I'm whole again (inside) I'm so empty I'm so empty, I feel dead So give me all your eyes to drown in your stares No forgiveness Attentive bastards make the greatest thoughts seem real In this wasteland And on broken ground, it's a blessing to have stilts But on solid ground, it's a burden to have doubt I'm so empty, that I feel, I feel dead

Casino Teeth 04:23
Spies! The call is out to the king The call is out to the army of thieves We got to fight for what we believe in And all the casinos will burn For what they have done For what they have taught our children to lose. This is the moment I'm planning to create an all out war Guns blaze and night will begin Our sake has brought us to the end The gashes that open up Will bring us a new day Now we see where are eyes do lie Our founding fathers are the reason we are spies So finally the casino teeth recede And the burden is over This is a blessed recall!

about

This album was originally recorded in 2012 for release, but because of some issues, we never got a mix we were satisfied with, and decided to shelve it. From there we had a few member changes and once that was solidified, we started writing on what became "Inverted."

This represents that last mix we had and a sample master. It's finally time to get it out to you all as its doing no good collecting dust. We were very proud of the songs we made and they still frequent in live sets as well.

Enjoy.

-ADO
