Only by the grace of death can one truly judge the lures of life
Call it curse or blessing, weakness or strength, failure or success
It's nothing else than a matter of origin and consequence.
Absconding is senseless, there is no escaping
Follow this trail to no avail.
No one will find eternal rest
No one!
Laugh as you may or sit down to mourn
It would have been better to never be born.
One should desire an end if life is a bloodcurdling punishment
Or whether its meaning was only a test,
Then one should pray for it to be as brief as it gets.
Yet, fondling life, wishing it could last forever
Resembles a dream of eating apples with worms
As if it could get any better.

All that is seems to serve sustenance for a never-ending torment
From birth to death - suppressed by this life-exhausting famine.
We long for discord, yet the lights from within are wreaking fear and anguish
All that is and that isn't seems to break the hearts of those unsaved.
Throw your dice, coward!
Whilst the fires of brimstone approach
Though lest you forget
The last page of your ledger will burn on the same day as you.
Mannequin twisting in circles, dreaming of coming alive
Dreaming on a bed of nails
Whether it's for an instance or forever
Once the eyes are shut, it only feels the same.
Striving for nothingness beneath the deep seas of terror
Is no more different than crusading at the hands of utopia.

How heavy the burden of freedom has crushed your mind
You have wandered so far as to invent gods
And thought you've conquered the greatest fear of mankind
Yet through bloodshed by all odds
Bearing false promises in your wombs, reaping and sowing death
Pilling excremountains of corpses and leaving nothing, nothing else
As if there was ever something other than a constant downfall
Carving rivers unto your demise
Plunging into the falls of Hollow
Neither eternity nor mortality can ever substitute the futility of being
Ergo, guzzle your tragedies and savor the crumbs of apocryphal glory.

Gravatus Romania
Gravatus was brought forth in the late days of 2007 as a contrasting musical manifestation set initially to delve into the
most caliginous fringes of the human experience in relation to the nature of being. The reasoning behind the name, which stems from Latin -
translated as "sick" or "burdened", is to illustrate the symptomatological aspects of existence.

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace!
