Infinity 07:17
hear the vultures cry their call for might ignore all reason hatred fills you repeat the time of bleed you will follow deep inside the caverns no more reasoning only bitterness fueled by your hatred again you start to leap into obscurity the only thing you know no more reasoning only bitterness fueled by your hatred
2.
Widow's Bane 06:44
as the leaves have fallen your loved one died your heart bleeds sorrow through the night tears start falling from bloodshot eyes a cold shiver creeps up your spine alone - in this world left for good - widow‘s bane alone - in this world left for good - widow‘s bane so close but yet so far a memory of old can not be grasped the time has come to lift this curse steel kissed wrist draining life widow you died and no one cried but I pity your demise
3.
how much does the earth weigh - weigh below my feet, down to the core how much does the sky weigh - weigh on my shoulders, on my mind how much do the thoughts weigh in my soul, right down to the core of this being - this animal of decaying flesh - and fire and wrath how much do thoughts weigh - weigh in my skull, this cage of flesh what keeps calling me from below - below in my soul, right down to the core the weight of gravity keeps pulling us down to stand up straight takes strength and courage, but the bones ache gravity - the core principle gravity - the law of this world gravity - reigns supreme gravity - the righteous path

Unthinkable 06:26
from below they call me no i won't just leave me all they want has gone away there's nothing left there's nothing left broken minds don’t fade away instead they grow like the seeds they sow seeds that never wither away a flower that just wants to be a life defined by idle time fields of fallow love and life a glimpse of sanity remains endless fight for thought and time
5.
through psychic eyes i‘ve seen a future that's gone bad humankind is all dead clandestine thought - unties the knot synthetic curse - to haunt this world created to kill - and erase us all in the silence the horses stride alone the plague has judged - guilty as charged sentence is death in the silence the horses stride alone the plague has judged - doom to us all death to this world a mad man‘s laugh - that echoes so strong in barren lands - without a sound debris of old - that tells the tales in the silence the horses stride alone the plague has judged - guilty as charged sentence is death in the silence the horses stride alone the plague has judged - doom to us all death to this world all we know is that we all must die when it‘s time all we know is that we all die - die all we know is that humankind dies when it‘s time all we know is that it is time - die
6.
abstract thought in efficient mind specimen of a marvellous kind block all feelings and hide your life nothing's worth while the world around you breathes loves changes moves and sees a throne of misery is your own who's to blame? now you're sitting at home - on your own made throne while a feeling grows - oh you're so morose a life is thrown away - all that's left to say lies in your own hands - prevent descent now you're sitting at home - on your own made throne while a feeling grows - oh you're so morose a life is thrown away - all that's left to say lies in your own hands - prevent descent

------------------
The third TARLUNG album explores the dualism of man as builder and destroyer of worlds.

Facing the existential void we all become the Architect of our misfortune. But from all our failures we still might rise.
------------------

After collaborating with three different labels on the last two releases TARLUNG go for a 100% DIY approach on the third album "Architect".

"Architect" was recorded within a 5 day session at the DDP studios (Braunau, Austria), once again by sound engineer Lukas Haidinger. This time the intention was to get a more refined and richer sounding record while still retaining the raw power TARLUNG is known for.

Throughout the whole writing process, a bigger emphasis was put on the arrangement of the songs. While still remaining decisively sludgy, TARLUNG's focus is on melody and diversity: There’s more lead parts, but also more noise. More driving Stoner Rock, but also more bleak skeletal Hardcore. More upbeat elements, but also more despair and darkness.

"Architect“ is a meditation on rise and fall, grandiosity and misery. It is about exploring the boundaries of Sludge – while staying 100% true to the low-end growl vocal style, and the dedication to absolute heaviness.
