about

"Entrance" begins GRIP upcoming debut album. "Early Iteration" out 4/02/19. The track immediately establishes the album's agitated sense of dread and opening its continuous mythological narrative. Pulling characteristics from various genesis stories and pitting an early peoples in an antagonistic environment meant to test. The track’s sonic dynamism parallels the uncertain hostility and tension presence existing throughout the album in a microcosm.

lyrics

Entrance

Molded of clay and silt
Stumbling on early, fragile limbs
Departed the eggshells above
Ground sands coated in a pale, weathering froth

Crawling unto boundless, bounded earth
Beneath the cover of harboring trees, the effigies lie
Seeking refuge of thunderous cries, torrential assault, disrupting plates
Confronted with hunger, lusting for life
Quivering at the sound of predatory commands
The howl of the primordial
Laying claim to all through beseeching devourment

They lay in leaf cover, bewildered and awed
Memorizing each carnivorous motion
Taught mud and lust, craving and conquering

Behind they realize a child left to scavenge the
Remnants of felled prey
A weak spot, a point of entry
They scoured along circular, entangled branches
Barraging the beast from above, tearing at the adolescent sinews
And tissues, constricted and pulsing

The fed frenzied, rejuvenated and sound
The elders realized mistake and returned to the consumed one
Frantic they sniffed the retributed flesh from its jaws
Crying, scathed, craving vengeance
The pygmies awakened escaped within the depths of impenetrable caves
Lurking, Waiting
