Ed OCasey The clarity of this expression, the vacillations between beauty and harshness, the artistry and attention to detail...all these add up to an EP worthy of repeated listening. These four songs are highly enjoyable. errant picks up where Agrimonia left off. Astounding! I look forward to a bright future from Rae. Favorite track: A Vacillant Breath.

Dorian G. The CD arrived yesterday with a personal note. That‘s rare. I love it! I want to thank Rae for the musik. Because of her and others Metal is so creative nowadays. For me it’s often breathtaking.

  • errant EP super limited second (final) pressing!
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Limited to FIFTY copies. The first run of 150 sold out and that's amazing, but I feel like I probably should've done 200 to begin with, so here we are! 50 more, and then that's it for a long while (if I do another run, it'll be along with the next errant release...) -- This digipak contains full artwork, lyrics, and liner notes. Cover artwork is by Rae Amitay (that's me!) -- Released via Manatee Rampage Recordings. These will start shipping as soon as safely possible. Physical orders will come with a digital download. If you want me to sign it I totally will, that makes me feel honored and also it's a fun opportunity to practice writing in cursive.

A single vision Myopic and brittle When pressed I always cave. It’s the least I can do When given attention I have bludgeoned my sanity Into a catatonic stare. I am afraid of how little I believe That anything I've done is worth more than a passing glance And a sneer of derision before being forgotten I am committed to digging my own grave By walking away. If I survive the fire I’ll live in the wreckage and ash. No resurrection I am not a phoenix. No resurrection I am an insect.

It isn’t time yet The path extends along There has been empty suffering There has been too much stillness I have fallen into every trap you set. Some while I was stepping back, There is never grace in the ways I react And crumble If there is a method to hide how deeply I have failed I’ve yet to learn it. If there is merit found in my presence here It is a secret that will die after me. All of this silence Lends a voice to the darkest thoughts in my head My tired aching mind Can muster awful threats Through the panic and crippling static. I look for hope in poison and in sleep I am grateful for the fleeting moments Where I don't feel anything. I am a sunk cost without fallacy My best endeavors are doomed to fail Inherently

Oneirodynia 02:50
Tear me up in your jaws Thrash til you hear the snap I have felt like prey in every moment. All that I am is a quaking mass Of desperate, painful, energy. I can't stand this slow death And the stench of everything rot. Festering anxiety Spend waking hours waiting for sleep In my dreams I clench my teeth And they shatter into jagged pieces This is just a sad and errant effort To distract me To buy time. I am nothing I am only wounded Vicious and inept.
