Engulfed in flames - eyes to see do not remain Hope has eased into the void - no longer to make a noise Contemplation of self-disdain Subjugation to emancipate Misery - all that's known Suffering - feels like home I'm in the ashes of optimism, burning away Until the end of time and space

To be restrained, contained, fighting all in vain Senseless wondering Willing to save all of this, hopeless, doomed To exist in a burning house With no means to combat the flames The smoke overwhelms the will to breathe No hope This life - Unworkable, Unresolvable To be certain, decisive, this is the path away from suffering To be saved from this life All of this hopeless, doomed To exist in a burning house With no means to combat the flames The smoke overwhelms the will to breathe No hope, nothing to be Returned back to a functional state Where these walls were a shelter Now ruined, charring decay No hope This life - Unworkable, Unresolvable To exist in a burning house With no means to combat the flames The smoke overwhelms the will to breathe No hope, nothing to be Returned back to a functional state Where these walls were a shelter Now ruined, charring decay

A false, a fake, a forgery Emboldened by thee devoid of integrity Caricature dead in their eyes Are moulded to be a fetish of identity Based upon lies Fabricated manipulation draped with endearing illusions Pseudological mythomaniac, beast with deceitful intentions Do not believe their lies A false, a fake, a forgery Emboldened by thee devoid of integrity Caricature dead in their eyes Are moulded to be a fetish of identity Based upon lies Perverse, corrupt, pitiable degenerate Fabricated manipulation draped with endearing illusions Pseudological mythomaniac, beast with deceitful intentions Do not believe their lies A false, a fake, a forgery Emboldened by thee devoid of integrity Caricature dead in their eyes Are moulded to be a fetish of identity Based upon lies To be something you're not To live as that which you aren't

Trial Rites 07:10
Our misguided deeds have led to your misfortune - Inequitable A calculated act, the art of human sacrifice - Incompatible Ending one's physical karmic inertia Beckoning the afterlife For the cause of the greater good Under the trial rites Be the unseen - shunned to non-being Ye the unclean - the unworthy one As you die visualise white light Pour out trust towards the divine Manifest absolution for our sins Be the unseen - shunned to non-being Ye the unclean - the unworthy one So long, farewell, goodbye

about

"Mother Nature bears the fruit of life -- one of those fruits is mankind.

Mankind bears the fruit of chaos -- one of those fruits is the destruction of Mother Nature."

Ayamvoid's self-titled debut EP aims to illuminate obsidian aspects of humanity and human mindset and the nature of the impact this has on themselves and their environment. Lyrically, this release focuses on disdain, thoughts of hopelessness and worthlessness, false representations of oneself and reluctant self-sacrifice alongside the acknowledgement that all humans have the capacity to exhibit and carry these feelings and emotions.

After the guitars and bass but before the vocals were recorded, James Parsons decided to step down from Ayamvoid to be better able to pursue his own goals - this news heralded a rebirth for Robbie, Heath and Stephen resulting in the decision to decline searching for a fourth member and onset Ayamvoid continuing as a three-piece entity.

The majority of the narrative on this EP was written by James Parsons and his departure from Ayamvoid meant that Robbie and Stephen had to portray his musical intention without him. The vocal performance is a representation of this and without both James and the Dunedin metal community this release would not sound as it does now -- but neither does it sound how it was originally written.
