1.
The rat race ensues And the ravens call Thirsting for blood My ego must fall Psilocybin pulses in our veins Euphoria sets in Binding light from new dimensions Submerged in chaos Parse thru fear Visions reflect Hopes dim fading light A glimpse just beyond The veil of lies Natural decay or by the hammers fall Impending fate that condemns us all I tremble in madness Dead reveries are clear New discoveries emerging Surging from ascending depths Infinite chaos raging We are all entitled to death Third eye appears beyond the realms Death lurks and grins Cold bones clutch my face Our future is grim Time drifts to space Our passage begins
2.
Oozing from embryonic cells Evoked from portals Cast into living hells Masses humanized Longing escape From when we arrived Seeds of creation Lay dormant in the abyss Gestation evolved Into this shit Surrounded by darkness I voyaged alone Deep from space To nature I roam The shadowy stench Of oppression remains Scorched on our soul We’ve tried to proclaim I’ve circled along This unknown path To an obscure edge We fail to surpass Seeds of creation Lay dormant in the abyss Gestation evolved Into this shit
3.
The masses assembled Were quickly struck down Consumed by crisis Engineered by the crown The spirit lost hope After being subdued Nature stopped thriving Under the fading moon They destroyed their own world (Enemies) conquered and doomed Martyrs and victors Then triumph entombed The hive collapsed Extinction on course Armageddon siege No remorse Despite the fires That scorched the land I buried the egos That burned my hand I freed myself Again to be fought By the infinite cycle Of power and loss
4.
The battles fade Carnage remains Rotting victims Across the plains The worst of the horrors I've seen in these days Are the lifeless bodies Of loved ones remains Open the tomb of nightmares Demons await inside Catacombs of abhorrent souls Released beneath the shrine Starvation sets in Amongst the ruins Light reflects And I find it grim I see the slaughter And mankind's ruin Spoils of war Leaves bodies unfound Dismembered gore Upheaval abound Unleash the serpents With soaring wings Chasing the hoards Of venomous steeds Valor and glory Fuel the beasts And soldiers toil To confront their grief The pain is greater Than iron pierced flesh The scares not seen Bled like the rest The battles fade the carnage remains Rotting victims Across the plains
5.
Conquest of hope And deeds of life All end here The same fate The billions all feared Fires begun The smoke plumes Of molten flesh Marred the stone Dripping with death The last of living Finale of cells Fires are gone To all that left It’s my time at last (The final) voyage begins Consciousness vast Depart from my flesh Leaving the vessel behind Through parallel portals Sever my body from my mind
6.
The sudden gasps Of oxygen burns Lungs are withered Sharp pains emerge We hail the sun Praise the moon Embrace the land Upon our doom Under the blistering sky This desolate rock I crawl Thru fleeting moments I crumble and sprawl The stars spelled death The gateways are shown The final farewell To flesh and bone The earth has torn beneath me Parting the seas eternal Abysmal echos descending Astral decay unveiling

about

Oakland, California has summoned the rituals of many metal legions over the decades. Its stench is filled with dark art, morbid riffs, death and doom. There’s a scorched place in the corner of the crumbling landscape evoking evil and witchy magic where Larvae feast on the remains of those who perished.

Entitled To Death pursues a human experience, traversing the middle realm seen thru the eyes of a defected warrior. Bound to a reality of misanthrope, power, and trauma the protagonist seeks balance until the final collapse in a land filled with ruin and loss. The crossover compositions and lyrical anecdotes grapple with mental health and self worth before crossing over into a cosmic abyss.
Inspired by 90s legends Runemagick, Paradise Lost, Immolation, Bolt Thrower, Neurosis and Dismember, Larvae decompose Death and Doom metal to emote thru narrative and conjure dismal hallucinations.

The sophomore album by Larvae unveils a bare-boned trio led by founding member vocalist/ guitarist/ engineer Brad Kobylczak (Eulogy, Kuru/ Machine Head, Green Day) who’s accompanied by the low end marauding of bassist Wyatt Culbertson (Born/Dead, Abrupt) and the percussive barrage of Eric Evert (Rebels Advocate) on drums. Since 2011, Larvae have been ruminating on their own breed of death/ doom atmosphere conjoined with blackened passages and macabre riffing to align the unique anatomy forming what stands today. Entitled to Death delivers a slab of morbidity to scrape away festering corpses into heaps of liquified tissue.
