O Hierophos older than night,
O Living Ikon, coeternal sired,
O Center that creates the wheel.
Translated one,
Slaughter-silent eater of the curse,
Well hast thou known the cup of want:
Self-libation from the hollow of the grail.
Lifted as the brazen serpent of pharmakon,
The holy poison floweth
From desert stone and piercéd corpus,
These bloodgates five.
Sign of Jonah,
ΙΧΘΥΣ by the eye of nous:
"Thou hadst cast me into the deep...
Floods compassed me about...
And the earth with her bars was about me for ever..."
Quake all hearts, beneath and beyond,
Above and below, crown and kingdom
Phosphoros ascendent, riseth the morning star
From riven belly of harrowed Leviathan.

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
Russian duo leaven unbridled, blackened instrumentation with radiant melodies, their post-metal heaviness propelled by heavenly energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2024

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
