Courtesy of Inverse Music Group:

Our world is burning down around us, extreme evil is piercing through our souls, and all our human connections have collapsed.

Hope Is A Lie is slow, unhurried, and extremely dark doom, post-metal, sludge, industrial and a pinch of grunge. While the music sounds like despair, and conveys bleak stories of a future without human relationships, if you lose all hope, you have nothing more to lose.
