    Our brand new 2021 album! “SHARPEN” is the second album by technical death metal band ASYLUM. A collection of thirteen meditations, “SHARPEN” touches on a variety of topics from current societal issues to mental health, lifespan development, and psychedelic exploration. Ultimately, the purpose behind the album is self-improvement, hence the title “SHARPEN”. The album was composed and arranged over the course of four years, which becomes obvious when one takes note of the depth and rich texture of each track. Like an exotic dish or a fine painting, “SHARPEN” satiates the hungriest of musical palates, exhibiting a broad variety of genre-defying expressions. This music transcends modern technical metal parameters and permeates the subconscious like nothing before.

lyrics

"Whispering Ibex"

Though I be tempted
By subtle mutterings under your breath
Forbearance is ever necessary
To withstand your sweet, succulent sacrilege

You are the unseen barrier between
Waking consciousness and the nightmares
Your persuasive mockery makes a fool out of me
and my perceived actuality

Do I dream as your visage draws nearer?
Do I wake as your horns dissipate into the air?

Concave eyed blood tipped horned being
Restless twilight molestations

Is it real, or but a dream?
Is it real? Is it really real?
Or but a dream?

Forbidden fruit temptations whispering
As indicated by hooves on the wooden floor
Whilst laying on the edge of sleep

Awake searching for a face in the darkness
Low light plays games with my tired eyes
Three and a half hours past midnight

His presence wears a mask in the darkness
Forked tongue playing games with my weary mind
So surreal, and ever human, the voice

Though I be tempted
By subtle mutterings under your breath
Forbearance is ever necessary
To withstand your sweet, succulent sacrilege
Was it real, or but a dream?
