Michael This is pretty music with pretty vocals. The guitars are pretty too. I like it. The album art fascinates me. I enjoyed my first listening of the entire album. I must come back for more. This could potentially become a favorite of mine. I listen to a lot of music. They are really good sounding. They could be touring the world!

restival I've always been partial to a concept album, sometimes they work sometimes they fall flat.

This one is fantastic! Favorite track: Sloth.

"Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living." - Genesis 3:20 Our story begins in the garden of Eden, where Eve longs for more than simply existing in Adam's shadow. [Eve] I hear you whispering to me, "Come and taste the apple" My master from up above said that it would kill me You say it will open my eyes, “god's a lying coward" What would he do to punish me? Throw me out of Eden? I'd be the Mother of All Sin Banished from paradise if I defy him I'd be the Mother of All Sin Cast out and punished for all eternity I’m tempted to just give in — finally eat the apple Why should I be so afraid? To hell with consequences I never really liked it here — stuck in Adam's shadow Now is the time to take the bite and finally open my eyes I'll be the Mother of All Sin Banished from paradise when I defy him I'll be the Mother of All Sin Cast out and punished for all eternity [The Serpent] Give in... to Gluttony... to Lust... to Greed... to Envy... to Sloth... to Pride... and Wrath [Eve] I am the Mother of All Sin Banished from "paradise" ‘cause I defied him Call me the Mother of All Sin Now I can finally breathe and choose my own path

Gluttony 04:21
"When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it." - Genesis 3:6 The happily exiled Eve ventures forth into the world of men to find more delicious things that were denied to her in "paradise"... [Eve] The taste of the apple has awoken something in me I never knew that life could be so delicious I will not stop until I have tasted everything So give me wines, bread, and mead until I’ve had it all I just want to consume all that you have denied me I just want to consume Never satisfied I just want to consume all that you have denied me I just want to consume Never enough What else was I denied in god’s “paradise?” There must be more... All wisdom and understanding were kept from me I will not stop until I know every scrap of knowledge So give me tomes, scrolls, and books until I learn it all I just want to consume all that you have denied me I just want to consume Never satisfied
3.
Lust 03:29
"Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes." - Proverbs 6:25 Now that Eve has had a real taste of the world, she turns to her other physical needs and reflects upon her time with Adam. [Eve] If I was made to complete Adam, why didn’t he make me feel complete? If he was sent from the heavens above give me someone from below I don’t want no man unless he comes from hell — where the fire burns so much hotter No, don’t want no man unless he takes me there — into the flames to conquer my lust Adam’s controlling, pathetic, and selfish He thought he owned me but no man owns me If Adam’s so pure then give me some evil Take me somewhere down below I don’t want no man unless he comes from hell — where the fire burns so much hotter No, don’t want no man unless he takes me there — into the flames to conquer my lust
4.
Greed 03:25
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." - Matthew 6:24 Eve longs for more than just primal desires. She shifts her focus towards the material world and all it has to offer. [Eve] I’ve lived my life as a servant never getting what I want And now that I’ve seen the whole world I’m filled with a ravenous greed I seek the opulence of men I don’t want anything less I want to bathe in luxury until I’m drowning in wealth I want power and bars of gold I want gemstones and silk to wrap around me Want the scepter and want the crown Want the people to worship and adore me I would make such a lovely queen covered in diamonds so pure The birds would sing of my beauty as people bow before me I would use all of my power to make my own paradise Where I would answer to no one No men would rule over me I want power and bars of gold I want gemstones and silk to wrap around me Want the scepter and want the crown Want the people to worship and adore me Give me power and bars of gold Give me gemstones and silk to wrap around me Grab the scepter and take the crown Finally know what it's like to rule the world
5.
Envy 03:40
"Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." - Genesis 3:16 Her quest for money and power is cut short when she crosses paths with Adam, who is on a similar quest... [Adam] “My dear, sweet girl, why would you show your face? You are to blame for the sin in the world I am chosen by God to become king Come Eve, witness the rise of my kingdom” [Eve] I’m so sick with envy Why should you get everything that I want? You’ve had it so easy I’ve had to claw my way up from nothing [Adam] “Darling, there is no place in my world for you Unless you will bow and be my servant There is no shame to play the role God gave you Take this offer and I’ll forgive your sins” [Eve] I’m so sick with envy Why should you get everything that I want? You’ve had it so easy I’ve had to claw my way up from nothing You’re so cold and clueless You’ve been given everything from the start It’s cruel and unfair You’ve never had to prove your worth I’m so sick with envy Why should you get everything that I want? You’ve had it so easy I’ve had to claw my way up from nothing

Sloth 04:25
“Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.” - Ephesians 5:22-24 Eve falls into despair when she realizes the world of men is no different than the garden she chose to leave. [Eve] And still after all this time I’m stuck in Adam’s shadow What’s the point in trying at all? Feels like I never left Eden — trapped within this nightmare where I have no one to turn to [The Serpent] Why would you lay around and wither? Aren’t you the Mother of Sin? Where’s the woman who defied thee one god? Where’s the woman that no man could defeat? [Eve] Long gone, there’s no fight left in me Why’d I ever believe that I’d never rise above man? Did I make the right decision when I bit the apple... or was my defiance a curse? [The Serpent] Why would you lay around and wither? Aren’t you the Mother of Sin? Where’s the woman who defied thee one god? Where’s the woman that no man could defeat? [Eve] Did I make it this far just to give in? Aren’t I more than the servant of man? Why would I lay around and wither? Am I not the Mother of Sin? I’m the woman who defied thee one god I’m the woman that no man will defeat Adam is not some unbeatable foe Eden will burn and I’ll unmake his world
7.
Sinterlude 01:35
“I have come to set fire to the earth, and I only wish it were already burning.” - Luke 12:49 Lost confidence has been regained and the Mother of All Sin begins her journey back to Eden.
8.
Pride 05:07
"If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over." - Leviticus 26:18 On her way back to "paradise", Eve imagines all the things she will say to Adam when she sees him again. [Eve] I reject your new claim to rule this world I won’t bow to the spoiled pawn of god There is nothing you could do to me now That would break my will and make me bend my knee to you You are so far below me What could you ever, ever do to me? I am the end to all you know You will bow to me, bow to me Adam How can you even claim that you’re the “king”, when your god has been pulling all your strings? Have you no pride to decide for yourself? You served in “paradise” and now you serve upon your throne You are so far below me What could you ever, ever do to me? I am the end to all you know You will bow to me, bow to me Adam
9.
Wrath 04:17
"After sending them out, the LORD God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life." - Genesis 3:24 And so she returns... [Eve] Satan, grant me strength to take my revenge Angel, step aside with your flaming sword Eden will suffer my fury and wrath until there is nothing left but ash Satan, you would never bow down to man You and I are the same, can’t you see? Send your host up from the depths of Hell Baptize me in the blaze of my revenge [The Serpent] Hell hath no fury like that of a woman — Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned That of a woman scorned [Eve] I was brought into this garden a slave Watch as it burns to the ground in flame I’ll bring doom to the world of men From the ashes of Eden I’m reborn [The Serpent] Hell hath no fury like that of a woman — Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned That of a woman scorned [Eve] I was brought into this garden a slave Watch as it burns to the ground in flame I’ll bring doom to the world of men From the ashes of Eden I’m reborn
10.
"And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner." - Timothy 2:14 Eve, with the help of The Serpent's horde, lays waste to Adam's kingdom and finally gets the confrontation she has longed for. [Eve] As we march toward the end of your feeble kingdom I can’t help but wonder what did you think would happen? You put the blame on me for the sins of man but you ate that same apple — didn’t you enjoy the taste? As my legion surrounds you, do you now know regret? I’m the Mother of Sin, but you don’t know your own name You are the Father You are the Father of All Lies And as the serpent slithers toward your trembling body I almost feel pity Were you always a coward? My hand holds this cold dagger pressed up against your throat I thought I wanted this... but are you even worth it? I’ve wasted so long trying to convince myself that I was worth something only to realize that You’re just the Father You’re just the Father of All Lies Adam, you have never been king nor will you ever have absolute control Can’t you see you’re unworthy? No one was made to rule none were made to submit I won’t take your life just to prove I’m no servant I don’t need to wear this crown I hold all the power I am my own master Who do you have to blame now? You are the Father You are the Father of All Lies [The Sisters of Eve] Despite all your strength and lies your gods above or devils below — you will never bend me to your will What you crave is complete control, but you will never rob me of the power to deny you in either thought or action And because of this I will forever hold power over you and all that you desire So may your order be denied, may you dwell in chaos — forever enslaved to all my children And may you finally know me as I choose to be: The Mother of All Sin and the servant of none

about

Mother of All Sin is a doom opera that subverts the Book of Genesis to explore the origin of sin as a way for Eve to liberate herself from "paradise”. Her journey takes her through the seven deadly sins and ends in a final confrontation with Adam.

While rooted in doom metal, each song makes use of different genres of metal to match the nature and lyrics of its corresponding sin. The seven deadly sins are book-ended by the doom metal epics, Mother of All Sin and Father of All Lies — the band's most mature and ambitious compositions to-date.

Bonus track "You Don't Own Me" available via CD and other streaming services.
