Finnish modern melodeath act Numento releases “Opilion,“ their fourth single from their upcoming third album. The track combines aggressive sound, crushing rhythms and addictive melodies into a perfect union, forming the trademark style of Numento.

LYRICS:
A smothering affliction
Smeared the wings of a white moth
Trapped inside a shadow cage
Stretched out the webs of a liar
That captured her breath
And her mouth
Slowly covered with the net
Layer after layer
Emptied glance
Under coercive control
It paid a bitter price
For a forged affection
A wingless owl
Slowly closing her eyes
Buried the wisdom in her heart
It saw through the deceit
The putrid motive
Blackened her tears
And she bled deep inside
Became the keeper and the guardian
Of the secrets of the serpent
The nightingale
Never sang again
But quietly wept in the moonrise
Snake nest offering
I will present you a series of pictures
Look at them and tell me what you see
There are no wrong answers
The first thing that comes to your mind
In the ink stain
I see a pattern of a monster
Stuck in a guilt trap
Sawtooth marks on my limbs
A crypsis, a veil on its face
A muted murder
In the ink stain
I see a pattern of a monster
Stuck in a guilt trap
Sawtooth marks on my limbs
A crypsis, a veil on its face
A motionless killing
Nymphs of the bleary waters
The dark lilies of dusk
Drowning in the nocturnal gloom
With black swans
Infected by the venom
The filthy touch of viper arms
A fallen crown rot on the ground
Ate from the poison garden
