1.
I am the one that drags you down Self-pity and weakness I am Hatred, darkness and despair I bring On treason and murder I feed Follow me into the black And we shall be one
2.
I have come to the seashore On that darkes of nights To gaze at the eternal dance of waves And harken to the howling songs Of northern winds I sought no consolation For there is none I did not Look for mirth Cause if is all fake I peeked at the pathetic human herds Unaware of their own dire fate Like sheep led to slaughter I watched the stars The grains of cosmic sand I saw them fade to black Thus I decided to drown all hope I descended into the wet, freezing void And we have become one All there is An abyss As above, so below
3.
The day is long gone And light is no more Seize your useless efforts No difference will they make There is no hope for you When demons awake In absence of grace The choking sand of times Fills your mouth and eyes At remorseless pace And as you grasp for air In the bottom of the well You painfully realize That life equals hell
4.
An ancient malady Older than the pyramids Suppresed for millenia Clotted in the heart An endless torment Beyond all imagination Torture of the mind Of the body and soul Anaesthesia dolorosa A pain without an end Anaesthesia dolorosa A prayer for death A paralyzing fear Of horror yet to come An agonizing awareness Of the useless existence An unbearable anguish Inner hunger and thirst The ultimate nightmare Of the human scum
5.
Wake up, open your eyes I'm back The horror of your childhood Do you remember me? I've been here all along Do you know my name? Oh, I have many Hopeless Helpless Heartless Are you crying? Let me wipe away your tears And turn them into ice Do you recall my name now? Oh, I have many Solitude Submission Suicide Come, Come take my hand Feel the freeze Embrace the cold And scream my name Oh, I have many Despair Depression Death

about

The black metal abomination known as USELESS have unveiled their debut LP. "Absence of Grace" is a disgusting and oppressive slab of sick old-school black metal and bridges the gap between Norwegian black metal and the US black metal scene. It is slow and hypnotic, yet cold and depressive at the same time. The sound is best described as old Burzum meets Xasthur and "Demise" era Nachtmystium.

Towards the gallows, into the ultimate nightmare.

"this is an album designed for the indoctrinated only; newcomers beware! Useless are all about the overall atmosphere and that atmosphere is akin to a slow walk to the gallows; wretched, forlorn and consigned to the inevitable death that awaits."
WORSHIP METAL 8/10

"Absence of Grace is a compelling five-track release utterly absorbed with frostbitten black metal grooves that work their way into your consciousness so effortlessly you suspect someone’s turning a Phillips screwdriver. The black metal narcissism simply oozes from its very pores, a totally vacant feeling creating an uncompromising atmosphere of despair, indeed utter Uselessness."
MIDLANDS ROCKS 8/10

"Useless are magical to me since they so clearly understand the fundamental concepts of what black metal should be and their execution is so tight. "
METAL INJECTION 7/10
