1.
Nebel 06:00
die enge treibt mich weiter nach vorn die masse gibt keinen raum und jeder blick nach hinten bleibt ohne hoffnung die berührung lässt mich stoppen, doch ich bin taub in diesem nebel liegt das, was ich versuch' zu finden kein schritt zurück der graue boden kennt mein starren das leid und die angst in diesem nebel: ein einsamer weg
2.
Oubliette 04:52
all dark but one who seemed familiar sunken ribs kneel on floor they took me back they say i'm theirs they say that this is home i will never leave
3.
Grau 05:11
risse in mir diffus; ein schmerz zieht sich durchs mark das grau zersetzt mich nimmt mir die kraft alles was bleibt ist das elend vor mir der ekel vor mir langsam; zehrend geht es vorbei
4.
Asylum 06:18
scarred skin covered with branches countless threads of stories untold shelter opens echoes fall silent hope begins to thaw these winds take the fear these winds: calamitous fear fall into layers of soothing abandon these doubts abandon and be free
5.
Vessel 06:37
sudden scents of new surroundings the air is damp and thick no second sight wakes remembrance my eyes are tired opened wide yet; no memories come to mind it seems as if the river's flow is reversed fading consciousness a body; a vessel falling unharmed endless; anxious
6.
Shiver 04:15
tremble as the clouds pass us by time has no value where they remain somehow alive hollow inside tremble in motion
7.
Monolog 06:59
in the full glare of hope hopelessness stumble blind across these rocks, without fear falling down to the sea wake in false light the landscape changed, a current flowing constantly; dredging black inside my bones hold the hand offered down this well everything conspired to manifestations; monologue

about

Abest’s debut full length Asylum is like a wrecking ball, slowly but steadily hovering towards the torn and rotten walls of civilisation. Dissonant soundscape-like toothache parts, doom parts, arcs of suspension that eventually collapse and apocalyptic vibes which Neurosis couldn‘t have done any better. In short: This is not for the faint of heart. 

"You may need a long rest after listening to this album as its one hard-hitting experience you will need time to recover from." – The Sludge Lord

"I have no doubt this will be on my year-end list." – Metal Bandcamp

"Overall this is a great release. The band must know that they have done a terrific job." – Tzertzelos

"Dwell in this thunderous, unsettling experience." – CVLT Nation
