Devoured 05:28
Devoured All light buried in black marrow Little girl it’s all you want Poison inside your blood It’s real Kneel down for it Locked outside another night but you’re alright Crawl into the hole you love of numbing filth Humiliated little girl how does it feel Trapped in your uncertainty there’s no escape Lost in the worst part of town Where’s your exit now Run through the streets of darkness But the wolves can smell your blood Poisoned blood

Hear these words filled with pain There is no escape There is no end to this hurt Misery floods your head The burden gets harder and harder Death is the cure for all life You’ll bear this weight of guilt I’ll burn your web of lies So brace your toxic head for execution My dreams were sacrificed while led in circles You crafted every word and filled me with poison So in this empty world of doubt you’re dead first Searching for reasons to linger on Worthless and meaningless waiting for an end My only future is a mirror to the past I’ll burn this pitiful life and end your world with mine

A Mistake of Hope Learn to kill or learn to rot On this cold earth you live or you die Mother and child will be consumed Living in this prison the weak are doomed Serve your affliction and sink in despair Train your teeth on the bones and meat Broken eyes craving more and more Trust in nothing and hope in none

"Black Candles and Gutter Scum. The album title from Louisiana antagonists Pale Misery invokes images of hidden rituals and down ‘n’ out despondence. From the album’s first harrowing swell of synth and feedback you can smell the incense swirling from dark rooms and the puke curdling in cobblestone streets." - Decibel Magazine

---

"For PALE MISERY, the appropriate response is not to cower, but rather, seek revenge: the trio’s debut album Black Candles And Gutter Scum channels this bloodlust through a cock-fight of unnerving samples and sweat-drenched warfare…" - Invisible Oranges

---

"Like skin brushing pavement, grand finale ‘Hope Is A Mistake’ provides one last fluid-filled smackdown of crunchy chords that gradually lose consciousness after a terminal blow." - Invisible Oranges

about

Pale Misery Lafayette, Louisiana

A sonic onslaught of second wave black metal and filth infused crust emerges from the dying earth. Droning riffs poisoned in depression and drenched with violent distortion devour any dismal sense of hope. Pale Misery crushes all that crawls with a devotion. Out of time and out for blood. ... more
