“Conceived and inspired by the unrelenting spirit of grind, AMDBL fuses dark melody and brooding insight to deliver an onslaught of uncompromising atmospheric composition, creating a unique blend of extreme themes and influences. Though we ourselves have no recollection of the event; people tell us they appeared somewhere between the beginning of the end of the world and 2008. Chosen by unseen forces to be a conduit for their ideals; to channel their message. Their existence through our songs, so that their presence may be known by all. They’re here. Beneath the veil of reality. Waiting. Watching. They always have been; always will be. Behind every curtain, every door. The Unreal… The Neverborn. They want us to let them in; to let them inside us. So that they can be born; so that they can be real…

We are already here.”
