David Fischer Many years have passed since I discovered this release as a young boy and pirated it because of lacking money. Purchasing this after having it heard dozens of times just felt right. There is nothing not to love about this EP. The vocals are crushingly heavy, the guitar is just perfect and the bass tone is full and thrumming. The drummer must be at least half-machine. A grand and glorious release - by far my favourite of Ascariasis' discography. Favorite track: Eleven.
ScottishCadaver

ScottishCadaver One of the best & (sadly) most Underrated Metal Releases of 2012 ~ Exceptionally Diverse Guitar-Work, with *equally* Vicious Vocals, and INCREDIBLY Pin-Point Precise Drumming for this to have been one of the Band’s earliest Releases too... The Lead Guitars on the Title-Song “Ocean of Colour” are *Unbelievably* Catchy ~ And is what actually originally drew me to Ascariasis in the first place. Favorite track: Ocean of Colour.

Shatter 04:15
Shatter under the weight of truth, Suffocate under the veil You've blindly cast before your eyes. Ruin and decay Are all that remain of a world once pure, Bury me under the illusion Of all that you've ever known. Drown in the river never crossed. Burn with the kingdom you've created. From the ashes may you open your eyes, And see the world that you've left behind.
2.
Torchbearer 04:00
Open your eyes, And meet the creation of your self-pity: The one left to rebuild From every second you've thrown away, The one left to carry your torch When the path ahead lay in shadows, The one who will suffer When the weight of valiance is suffocating. And while I may find the strength to carry on, I cannot carry this burden much farther. But somehow determination prevails, Either driven by aspiration Or a devotion to idle love, Neither of which bare the certainty That my persistence was not forlorn. Only the lingering truth, That even the selfless will be betrayed. This is what I have to give you, What's left is lost, For you will light my pyre, Now make me a fucking martyr.

Eleven 06:11
When no light remains, And thoughts are lost upon a blank canvas We find ourselves drifting Between shades of black and white. A hollow shell, Nothing but vague shadows. And so night falls, Like waves crashing upon stone, Dissolving cascades of memories, Lost amongst the silence. Between these dancing figures Lays the temptation of escape, Dividing the barrier between flesh and fiction.
4.
Still grey fields, and black vein silhouettes Idle beneath an auburn sky, An ominous stage hosting unending tragedy. When all is buried, Only then will we lament the faded. Like shards to sand, and sand to the sea, We will all fade into eternity, An endless cycle, until the last tear falls. And as I stand, between beauty and decay, I remember not what I have lost, But what I will be remembered for. Ruin consuming Decrepit remains, A broken landscape stained with pestilence. Solace bound within reverie, Above graves of the departed. When all is buried, Only then will we lament the faded. Like shards to sand, and sand to the sea, We will all fade into eternity An endless cycle, until the last tear falls. And as I stand, between beauty and decay, I remember not what I have lost, But what I will be remembered for. When the sun meets the sky, Where the moon breaks the earth, You will find me here, Drifting through an ocean of colour.
5.
I've lived to see adoration break, and crumble under the plight of adversity; Vows bound under hollow words. Foundations, and illusions of hope dissolve amongst a sea of temptation. Only perseverance remains On this path I've walked so long. Through anguish we must rise, To carve the world before our eyes. Let valiance grow in the wake of affliction And silence the deafening resonance of doubt. I've seen dreams of salvation fall through trembling hands and wither in solitude. Only perseverance remains On this path I've walked so long. Through anguish we must rise, To carve the world before our eyes. I've seen the will of the unbreakable decay like fallen leaves. And the pure corrupted by false convictions. But I will remain still. I watched as your shadow faded, your fragrance lingering in idle air. I watched our words collapse and lay in ruin. Through anguish we will rise, To carve the world before our eyes.
