"You alone, alone can god become
for fear of loss since no one won,
inseparable at last
suffering is the sense of humanity,
relieve yourself destructive globe
here is where good and evil
slowly come to weep
as if the angels almost died."
Two children desecrate me
wasting others to our sides,
crawling swound's let us speak
destined not to wrong us
Two children desecrate me
wasting others to our sides,
crawling swound's let us speak
destined not to wrong us
Cess of both majesties,
the sun sets in hell
On the other side of hades,
the light is seen burning through
Desert almost free you smile,
flowing relics wish them gone
Shattered hills leave traces
wounds of echo forgone is all
Hopes of doom's great image
remembrancer of what's to come
As the crumbling is heard
throughout the hills
the light straight kills the wrong
and as the heavens are bent
in full disgust
the fire straight kills the right
Two children desecrate me
wasting others to our sides,
crawling swound's let us speak
destined not to wrong us
Two children desecrate me
wasting others to our sides,
crawling swound's let us speak
destined not to wrong us
Cess of both majesties,
the sun sets in hell
On the other side of hades,
the light is seen burning through

Binding of Dragons
03:50

|
The unclean and corrupt
Liars untold millions
Blended in dirt, common earth
Religion fake religion
The sacrilegious are infectious
Belief in those who have gone
Dragons unite at dawn
As he is lain a child is maimed
and a mother grieves on
an unmarked tomb
recollecting gloomy moments
sorrows without the taste of tears
that invoke foreboding manes
to talk of their reposing years
The unclean and corrupt
Liars untold millions
Blended in dirt, common earth
Religion fake religion
The sacrilegious are infectious
Belief in those who have gone
Dragons unite at dawn
Diseased ridden peasants aside
diseased ridden villages
bound to their fields
as the harvest drifts away,
cold air climbs over flesh
that once stood and walked to thee
reviving old places of thought
and sudden immortality

The deep along the treacher's arm
but the wind blew not their way
Perilous sought to win the war
abstracting life as wrong
Unbelief towards the other side
mind and fear divide
Drawn amiss imagination
lines of age describe
Harrowers of the only hope
a place beyond the wake
Slaughtered in their very sleep
they dream and die alive
Last hope of the unhomed
Defeated it seems
A shriek of a scream
of a thousand shrieks
Last hope of the unhomed
Defeated it seems
A shriek of a scream
of a thousand shrieks
Tales of slick shredded blood
and merely blasted skulls
Horror in their left eyes
the wounds upon the search
Unbelief towards the other side
mind and fear divide
Drawn amiss imagination
lines of age describe
Harrowers of the only hope
a place beyond the wake
Slaughtered in their very sleep
they dream and die alive
Creeping up the downfall,
acid fills the plains
Choosing headless people
to guide these three arm men

Black Mourning
04:34
|
|||
|
A gripping silence stands alone
with the ever changing wind
Deceiving eye that sees all truth f
lies within the sky
Destroying many unborn sons
that have forgotten to survive
and living men wander blind
on a path that has no end
Good land of the living dead
that soars across this place
Decaying damned unaware
as torture suddenly reappears
Destroying many unborn sons
that have forgotten to survive
and living men wander blind
on a path that has no end
Leave it as it seems to the
bloodbath of the seasons
Gravely warning bleeding days
that spread upon creation
Above nears a promise
meant to keep forever
The burden of its rested clan
bring forth his dire pain
Mourning comes to seize
the day evolving in grief
All the shadows fled away
sinking through beneath
Mortifier open denier
of the word of the lords
Stranger only deranged
deliverance mourns in flames
Leave it as it seems to the
bloodbath of the seasons
Gravely warning bleeding days
that spread upon creation
Above nears a promise
meant to keep forever
The burden of it ́s rested clan
bring forth his dire pain
A gripping silence stands alone
with the ever changing wind
Deceiving eye that sees all truth
flies within the sky
Destroying many unborn sons
that have forgotten to survive
and living men wander blind
on a path that has no end
Mourning comes to seize
the day evolving in grief
All the shadows fled away
sinking through beneath
Mortifier open denier
of the word of the lords
Stranger only deranged
deliverance mourns in flames

Becometh of the unspeakable
horrors unprepared
never knowing wondering
and thinking of the anger
Miseries that summon one's own spirit
to call upon the sands,
abruptly stopping time
determined to move on
Celestial or demonical
walking hand in hand
laughing at the faces
condemned to feel the loss
Faith in not to die
still there is no pity
from all those who choose
committing the art of taking lives
Let me leave in peace
help me rid the shame
deliver I to paradise
and scorch away my pain
Sitting of my statues
that know of no mortality
forever frozen pictures
paint the sickness of reality
Distraught as in confusing
tripping as we walk
and the whistles in our ears
warn us of our steps
and where they want to lead
Starving moments relieve
the burdens and the problems
but all that stays behind
falling on other shoulders
They say that it is all written
somewhere is a lie
change is inevitable
damn that hand that wrote it
We all see the flowers
as they glide onto cold ground
landing there lifeless
taking up pure space,
there are no promises
nothing seems to be certain
I send him to your keeping
somewhere beyond our world
Let me leave in peace
help me rid the shame
deliver I to paradise
and scorch away my pain
Sitting of my statues
that know of no mortality
forever frozen pictures
paint the sickness of reality
Why the innocent punished?
Why the sacrifice?
Sick are the shadows of reality
Sick are the shadows of reality
Released from all darkness
for reasons not known
but from end always comes
new beginnings
Sick are the shadows of reality
Sick are the shadows of reality
Sick are the shadows of reality
Sick are the shadows of reality

Descendants Thereafter
04:16
|

Fall within grace
fall within man
brings violent ends
or violent beginnings,
maledictus errors all thrown to seek
of a cure worse than disease
Farewell the weak still fall
fearing certain times of war
Perished amounts rest on a lake
of human faults and treasures
Paradise monuments catastrophe
imaginings together feed
Corpse of all that's decided
trepidation fills their voided minds
Plagues among fiery plagues
nearing is declined,
winds of people that have said
once it's closed it will always hold
Disgraced through death
in a crowded place
that isn't seen or heard
among the roaming eyes
help is not of found as we all
lay to seep into bloodsoaked ground
Lurking fallen descendants
thereafter come in peace
Lurking fallen descendants
thereafter come in peace
Lurking fallen descendants
thereafter come in peace
Lurking fallen descendants
thereafter come in peace
Farewell the weak still fall
fearing certain times of war
Perished amounts rest on a lake
of human faults and treasures
Paradise monuments catastrophe
imaginings together feed
Corpse of all that's decided
trepidation fills their voided minds

embedded dust,
disappearing and healing
in open graves
enliven with miseries of

Temptation yearns in bellowed moans
as the clock it turns backwards
brought up from a narrow rest
to shower the race with agony
Walk the rains that are mocked
Resentment brings the end

Dreary thinking nightmares,
devouring inside a million days
Forlorn tired figures,
knowledge leaves an empty space
Underlying immense beast,
that soon decides to crawl
Beheaded destitute children,
swimming in bedarken waters
Open remaining vaults,
apparitions even feel the air
Sleeper of sensation
slowly taking pace to
alleviate some sickness
Sleeper of sensation crossed too far,
too far to come and see

Woods for the Suicides
03:38
|

Perdition laughs as autumn
leaves descend
empty is the heart of their past
Venture the hanging image
wondering what they wish to tell that persecution has no name
Last hold to their souls
weak was the will of this worm
Sinner of all that is sin,
but before the storms die down
answer to all that is guilt
Punisher abandons rejects
what is given
so terror finally recedes
Overturn with one's own hand,
to wear the king's thorned crown
Ending journey unearths
the appalling loss of life
Death of the sky, but at
morn it's reborn
dangling in misery
Nothing is forgiven,
eternally blessed
companions all rot
Contemplate sympathy
choice of self-ruin
hand in deliberately
Death knell, passing
bell, tolling dirge
woods for the suicides
Church of black forest
walls devoured by desperate cries
Follow thy hollow path,
and of all the sights to watch,
wash away all sight
yet to be unleashed
and the breeze brings home the tides
of those who were buried inverted
Woods for the suicides
Together they belong
in a prison for the wrong
so the ripples take
their precious time
to cleanse them of morbidity

A Cold Sea of Horror
07:26

Skin and flesh in boiled sand, devastation
engulfs but one remains, the only one to
witness fate washing liquids rise to their
depths, the abject terror it contains the
color of reality grey it is.
To live to be upon pure day!
Footprints guide to the twelve last days
leaders fell one by one
They chose to touch the past, devise to cry
for global sorrow
Tears among a ravaged face, creative is this
soundless world
Haunting cries with a sobbing voice entraption
of pure insanity
Peeling and splitting the knees,
grasping the dirt feeling so hurt.
Howling at no one but himself, decomposing
regions to tear them all apart.
Swamps of life are no longer known
to the survivor of destination.
Things never seen before engaged,
through intoxication.
Aggression abrupt depression
in a sea which he made,
Lost in a world filled hallucination
Accredited with odium to black and
even the soul, cold and horrid
eventually came to meet.
To feel all grief in favor of mankind
delivering the words to the fingers of no gods
Neverending anguish cursing the heavens
blistering maceration with trees upon the sand.

Trees Sucumb
04:18

Shallow is the speech it molds
Sculpting eyes that are blind
They were here before the years,
and more aberrant than the original
Inflicted with the worst
Must rise above the ground
Hanging treaded wooden face
Watching hours still turn astray
Whisper to them without hate
Suffering through hollow veins
Whisper to them without hate
Entangled and tortured limbs
Betray ..... or decay
Portray ..... it anymore
Oblivion ..... memories
Cimmerian ..... darkness
Forgotten is it's mouth
Spitting out the holy breeze
Mute things that cure
Extremities torn to mortal beings
Whisper to them without hate
Suffering through hollow veins
Whisper to them without hate
Entangled and tortured limbs
Question the maker,
Immersion in such punishment
Release the taker,
Starving creatures disintegrate
Make them believe,
Abhorrence is what they speak
Silence their deceit,
Furthermore becoming weak
One of you turn one of us,
Suffocate as trees succumb..............

Screaming Fatality
03:27

Dwell inside your spastic mind
Utter yourself with thoughts of hate
Mindless creation, your sight demented
Strainfully inside the world is gone
Anathema scars your soul inside
Changes cold and fall to melt
A box awaits the life that expands
Scared to breathe this sarcastic air
Startling the lonely obscurity
An empty space at the point of darkness
Seem to believe the art of symbols
Move around the only cards
Time enwraps it swallows the world
Strange the moon it takes your hand
Laughter with god underplants your seed
From the treacherous tree of integrity
No more feeling toward your land
Rest your time as you hand it away
Malicious dreams all in yourself
Lost within a threatening me
Mourn for the old
Feel the odd
Rain of wails
False as blood
Wish the act of terror
Depict it with desire
Monstrous atrocity
Screaming fatality
The ancient survive upon the sea
Violent storms prevail you cannot be.
The ancient survive upon the sea
Violent storms prevail you cannot be.
Mourn for the old
Feel the odd
Rain of wails
False as blood

Depict it with desire
Monstrous atrocity

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

There's something charming about bands that don't give a shit what you like and just do their own thing. Is it death metal? Grind? Tech hardcore? Who the fuck knows? It's fun though.
