lyrics
Parched, cracked and blistered the land.
Sun bleached bones litter the ground.
Ribs protrude through skins of the beasts.
Lush flora now burnt, deceased.
Solarburn.
Blistered earth.
The sky aghast with windy brown.
The choking storms hurl dust around.
Sun glows red through arid skies.
All life wilts and slowly dies.
No rehydration to be found.
The wilderness is nothingness.
The sun glows red through arid skies.
Desolate country harsh and bare.
All life wilts and slowly dies.
Underneath the solar flare.
Gaunt ruins where a forest stood.
Sporadic stumps of burning wood.
Artesian bores leak sand and dust.
Once flowing pumps decayed with rust.
Last precious drops evaporated, dams now baked and desiccated.
From our star a solar wind, roasts the scars of the continent.
Fragments of what used to be, a wasteland of salinity.
A Mars on Earth all barren ground, nothing living can be found.
Sun bleached bones litter the ground.
Ribs protrude through skins of the beasts.
Lush flora now burnt, deceased.
Solarburn.
Blistered earth.
The sky aghast with windy brown.
The choking storms hurl dust around.
Sun glows red through arid skies.
All life wilts and slowly dies.
No rehydration to be found.
The wilderness is nothingness.
The sun glows red through arid skies.
Desolate country harsh and bare.
All life wilts and slowly dies.
Underneath the solar flare.
Gaunt ruins where a forest stood.
Sporadic stumps of burning wood.
Artesian bores leak sand and dust.
Once flowing pumps decayed with rust.
Last precious drops evaporated, dams now baked and desiccated.
From our star a solar wind, roasts the scars of the continent.
Fragments of what used to be, a wasteland of salinity.
A Mars on Earth all barren ground, nothing living can be found.

Alchemist recommends:
-
Acclaimed Swedish quintet Burst return with their long-awaited new record Lazarus Bird. The follow-up to Origo is a tougher and more daring record.

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantationsupported by 15 fans who also own “Solarburn”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 12 fans who also own “Solarburn”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
