Resentment
There’s a certain relish
In nurturing the fields of hate
Watching them plagued
By the light dearth
A fragile balance
Keeps the lurching structure above
Severed heads
Tote the top
Over the Sun
Layers and layers
Of endless decay
Here they were banished
And here they were buried
Never to be unearthed
With the dark
Came the awareness
They were granted
A glimpse of that majesty
Empty vessels
Adorned but fragile
Our souls crave for more
Arise
No hope is delivered
No light is shown
With wasted weary eyes
With grasping fallow hands
How foolish was I
To pursue persistence
I claim
No justice
A consonance
Of unholy prayers
Ascending, rising
As archers
With arrows striking at the heart
Of dying gods
A life spent
Trying to pierce through this numbing veil
With impermanence
Being the only constant
And if there’s ever something more
Than this façade
Then we could safely say
The interiors would be adorned
With the most detailed canvas
Of our prolonged and thwarted efforts
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.
