Lyrics:
Unwelcome clamant drawn to the flame of a burning sanctum, engorged in ash. The acrid fumes obscuring sight, obstructing speech, incensed occlusion. The perception of slight discharges cold corrosion, tracing caustic passage underneath the flesh. In the veiny pathways, spread throughout the limbs, a numbing excretion sapping thought. Intrusive presence, unencumbered by reason--or respect. It can't be soothed nor placated. Unbidden guest drawn through the gateway of exposed nerve, an open portal, a door unhinged by soured expectations, harsh resentment, constricts the chest. Will I never be rid of you? Festering wound, the open gateway, fractal nerve, total occlusion.

Umbilical, Thou's first full-length release of original music since their 2018 Sacred Bones debut Magus, is filled with mosh-ready riffs, heavy breakdowns and scathing vocals. The band’s aesthetic and political impulses have always been punk and like anyone embroiled in the subculture Thou have been exploring what it means to exist within and without a rigid morality. That exploration takes thematic center on Umbilical and their self-assessment is as harsh as that of the world around them.
