And the daughters wept
Their tears froze in rapturous fear
Chastised through grief
Raped by regret
And they drank from the rivers
And their hearts turned black
Their fallow wombs resounded rebirth
“O hollow temptress, I call to thee - Fuck me!”
“Come, join the slow dance, with maggots, shit and entropy!”
The foremost Demoness stood
Corpse beneath her feet
To begin the widdershins gyration
Astride a holy piece of meat
Climax arrived, she had the Devil’s eyes
As they blazed beyond the solar sphere
They bridged the gap between the abyss and back
The site of coronation near
And so it was done
The song of redemption sung
On a wheel profound
Death was crowned
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
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
OK, I know I'm seriously missing in the 2016 department, still I have no excuse. This is genre and life changing.
"Cthulhu on vocals". How true. YomaBarr
