Watch it all splatter Life’s now empty matter Feel the dirt to mouth The blade resides Decaying life sets in Internal bleeding flows thin As we leave the flesh All is left unsaid Swollen body, swarm of flies Now decomposing dead Here to rot, here to stay As they all gather Watch the ashes scatter The sight of death Fills the sky Decaying life sets in Internal bleeding flows thin As we leave the flesh So now they say Your body lies, lays to waste Innocent soul left to wander Is this the abyss of human stench Gravity pulls away Body fades to grey Here lies your witness Cries for your weakness Blind forgiveness Why this sickness

Catatonic 05:58
Desensitized Breathing in the cancer they feed Demoralize The fragile truth is at hand Imprisoned Leaving your mind open for the taste Blindness That you can’t see past your own fate Incision Planting the seed of your despair illusion Chasing the elusive ghost of fear Falling down to teeth Frozen all beliefs Weighing albatross Crawling through my desires Desolation Thrives Catatonic eyes Seeking all that’s lost Perished behind those lies Rejection of self identity A ritual of failed duality Desensitized Breathing in the cancer they feed Demoralize The Fragile truth is at hand

Disbelief 06:56
Through the ashes of sin New world incarnate awaits Atrocity of life once lived Behold the blessing of spiritual atonement Guide me through this neverworld Show me this cosmic ever Blind I've seen no reality Show me sin, Show me pain Encaged I've been living lies Hells brought forth me to die See the way life's entwined Disbelief Forever blind Stray from the light Desire for death now fulfilled Lifeless body now Purge into darkness unfolds As I follow the trails of blood Down this path of despair Visions of beauty Here I lie forever Dreams die forever Guide me through this neverworld Show me this cosmic ever Blind I've seen no reality Show me sin, Show me pain Encaged I've been living lies Hells brought forth me to die See the way life's entwined Disbelief Forever blind

Blackened tears rain The sense of innocence lingers Masked by fear The inevitable end is here Seas turn to ice The stone bleeds infection Cycle of infinity Your last divinity Seeing red My eyes bled Horses of darkness Scour the earth for flesh Impending suffering Damnation is here at last Temptation for souls to rot The devil stands alone His fury and might Blister the earth to its crust Seeing red My eye bled Raping the seed of life Leaving the unsettled spoils to remain This casket born to bleed Woven together with death to unleash his seed It's not too late To save our fate Open your eyes Become god size Raping the seed of life Leaving the unsettled spoils to remain This casket born to bleed Woven together with death to unleash his seed Consequence of life and evolution The blinding light is the curse on all humanity Seeing red My eyes bled

The twilight moon crests the sky Lonely wolves howl their battle cry Winter frost starks the plains Blood will splatter with human remains A season of death The forest bestows its breath A hunger awaits Feeding the night sky With beauty and passion so dear Mother nature shows no fear The shadow stalks in the night eclipse Unholy feast within its grips A vision now to die alone My body lies upon this throne A snake in my heart This sadness will never depart A hunger awaits Feeding the night sky With beauty and passion so dear Mother nature shows no fear

about

“Dreamy acoustic guitars, vast production, and proggy riffs all make for an impressive experience. The vocals are a great mix of deep death growls and very Mike Patton-esque clean singing. Definitely worthy of your attention.” - Metal Trenches

“The band compares their niche to Edge of Sanity, Opeth, and Primordial, and that's not inaccurate. You've definitely got your soaringly powerful melodies and top-shelf riffing, lush acoustic passages and gorgeously crafted solos, vocals that shift from assorted growls to rather slick singing, and an overall epic-leaning atmosphere… there's more to it, though. At times things tend toward that blackened edge of, say, Naglfar in their prime; while occasional somber textural undercurrents bring to mind the likes of October Tide. I'd stress that all of these comparisons are just reference points, though. While a number of Scandinavian influences seem central, The Final Sleep has really managed to formulate their own cohesively diverse approach to this type of sound. I’m kinda shocked that The Final Sleep hasn't been scooped up by a decent label yet. This shit's impressive.” - Aversionline

"First witnessing this act live a few years ago, I holds up to the promise of their live performance. At 30-minutes and 5 tracks, it’s certainly the case of “all killer, no filler” and you’ll be inclined to start fresh at the beginning once it ends. If you have any interest in the more melodic end of extreme metal, The Final Sleep are bound to have some sort of appeal for you. Creative, compelling, and worth seeking out – loads of potential here.” (9/10 rating) - Dead Rhetoric

“New York's The Final Sleep offer 30 minutes of storming, triumphant metal on their debut release, aptly titled I. Guitar riffs gallop, stampede and spiral fiercely on top of thrashing percussion throughout, ensuring the listener gets the proper bashing they deserve. Virtuosic solo work and the occasional acoustic and melodic flourish make an appearance to add different textures to an otherwise fairly ballistic metallic affair (see “Disbelief” and “Feeding the Night Sky”). At the heart of all of this is vocalist Jeff Andrews, who effortlessly transitions from gruff death metal growls to soaring, classic metal melodies. If these New Yorkers continue to progress further, the follow-up to this release might be explosive.” - Svbterranean

“The Final Sleep is one of those bands that tastefully blend so many elements of metal together and make it work so beautifully. The first song of the album “As We Leave the Flesh” is hard as fuck and definitely one of my favorites at the moment. If you are open minded and enjoy true metal talent and diversity, THE FINAL SLEEP IS FOR YOU! Very unpredictable, you just never know where the songs will go after each part upon your first hearing. The vocal range is completely out of this world. Bottom line: It’s been a long time since I've been this into an all-metal band. Give this ep a listen and see what it does for ya!” (8.5/10 rating) - Worldwide-Underground

"This record is badass!! Heavy as fuck, like if Opeth held the course and went even heavier after "My Arms…”
- Sherwood Webber (Skinless)

“Next to take the stage was The Final Sleep from Albany, NY. Huge sounds and even larger talents permeate this band and washed over the growing crowd. Epic songs laden with mountaintop guitar solos and intricate time changes make their music not only fun to listen to, but incredible to see performed in front of you.” - NYS Music

"Merging together elements of melodic death, traditional, thrash, and more, there’s a feeling when the band was playing that they are definitely on to something and could really make a name for themselves in the future." - Dead Rhetoric

“Members of this progressive metal juggernaut featuring some of the greats from the 90’s hardcore scene (Dying Breed, Withstand, Burning Human, Held Under) sound like they immigrated from the Nordics. They don’t perform much so when they do don’t miss them. Music this good is a blessing not to be missed.” (Best Metal Band, July 2014) - Metroland

about

The Final Sleep Troy, New York

Smart songwriting, which includes the use of three guitarists, TFS is able to blend clean, melodic sections and three part guitar harmonies with vicious heaviness, to generate a technicality in their work, all while preserving catchy, memorable songs.

Melodic vocal lines blend seamlessly into deep guttural sections and 3 part vocal harmonies.

Melodic, Heavy, Dark, Uplifting and Empowering.
