about

This is a demo version of the first song Smolder Glow ever wrote. We were approached by HenHouse and The Last Record Store to participate in a flexi-disc collaboration for Record Store Day and are stoked to finally share it with you in digital form! This track was recorded in a midnight session at Walford Recording Studio on the campus at Sonoma State University on March 6th, 2020.

The finalized version of "Precedent" will appear on our upcoming debut LP.

lyrics

Hide

It hunts us down
It tears everything we've ever loved apart
It erases life
It exists to curse us from the start

Be brought forth onto altars of dust
Sacrificed innocence to gratify bloodlust
Masks of black and red
Candle wax and flame
Haunted by the silent dead
Possession's endless fame

I am precedent
I am scorn
I am rage
I am agony
I am guilt
I am shame

From the inside,
fear consumes
all that remains of what you used to be
This fortress of ivory and glass
crumbles for everyone to see

Your soul is ours to sell
Lured by a blackened heart
Into the depths of hell
Masks of black and red
Candle wax and flame
Deafened by the howling dread
Unbound from what is sane

I am precedent
I am scorn
I am rage
I am agony
I am guilt
I am shame

I am reborn
