"will actually kill you" makes me laugh the hardest, because it's true!

Hell yeah. I guess people just see an uncanny cover and hear programmed drums and immediately jump to AI.

the album cover is probably AI generated which is lame but admittedly also very funny (i mean come on). that does not stop the music from whipping ass. "vortex" and "wolves feast on forgotten dreams" are my faves, this album satisfies many musical cravings between black metal and dungeon synth

Yes, I think it's clear that this is referring to natural growths of weirwoods, with the implication that they were once extremely numerous, and that in attacking the weirwoods the Andals diminished one of the primary sources of the Childrens' power.
