It is death
In every detail
In every deed
In every word
It is death
In every place
In the perpetuum
Of cosmic decay
Beyond the filter
Of wishful eyes
Within these empty dreams
I find myself
Always circling
Aimlessly
And I keep telling myself
That time
Will give relief
But nothing can
Dissolve these chains
That I myself
Have built
Countless times we’ve been tested
And even more we’ve failed
Where is the splendour
Where is the pride
And the golden halls
For which we’ve died
They built your grave
Despised as a throne
There was only dirt
Where you saw gold
Why do we keep fighting death
In its own domain
Always seeking purpose
In going against the grain
Like soldiers in disarray
In a futile call to arms
This is a cemetery
Where no one comes to mourn
And it feels
So familiar
Where is the splendour
Where is the pride
And the golden halls
For which we’ve died
Countless times we’ve been tested
And even more we’ve failed
They built your grave
Despised as a throne
There was only dirt
Where you saw gold
Was this the purpose
Of enduring such pain
Was this the reason behind
Every single worthless day
A misbegotten
Search for meaning
Always destined to fail
Now silence
Embrace my grave
All this
Will be left forlorn
I know my place in this lonely
Fields where I have torn
And left my soul to bleed
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
incredibly well-played melo bm from indonesia, dealing with the topic of genocide in that country. the high-water mark for a band with an already great catalog. Glitzy Límon
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
