lyrics
For I have bathed in ash, and I have ridden across the seas
I have walked the sands of time and I have watched them fall
Falling from the hourglass... as I fell, as I stumbled, as I gazed upon Man
My reflection now echoing my pain, these scars are written
Am I the enemy to reign? Rid me of these fibres, I can't delay
The elements heard of the reckoning too late
I stared up at the weeping vaults of Heaven
Seeing the Hanged Man cast down in a deathlike fever
The Sun illuminating his wounds
Set adrift in the catacombs of the livid Tower
I crawled through the orchard of God
Covered in blood and drowning in scoria to make my ascension
Devouring the roots & bones of serpents
I watched the desecration of His temple
With this palimpsest it comes to pass
...and dredge through these shallow murky waters, I am נָפַל, I am reborn!
The harvest dawns and I gaze through the dust of angels
Into the grim abyss... Into the grim abyss
There in the light of midnight, candles lit
A temple stands and the morning star shines
Behold! I hold the key of the seven gates!
Adorned with Irkallian winds!
O beguiling, perilous star of the morning! Darken my harrowed plea!
To illume the path so dark and devour the empty!
At the end, when nothing else remains
A temple stands, and a fire burns...
...And the Morning Star shines
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. Bertrand Marchal
A beautiful cacophony of some of the most tuneful and atmospheric sonic landscapes that I've heard this year. Dream Unending is pushing the artistic boundaries of what is possible in death/black metal. A brilliant listen. ottoman91
I hardly ever listen to death metal anymore but this goes in a lot of surprising directions without losing the heft that makes the genre work in the first place, all while maintaining an aura of ritualistic mystery. Miles Egan
Sounds like Cthulhu going on a Benadryl and bath-salts fueled rampage through a Guitar Center while a bunch of the fish people from Innsmouth gang bang in the background.
The guys from Ulthar sound more focused this time around, compared to the more meandering bits of Helionomicon (which is also awesome, check it out). And the album art... holy hell. Ghuughra
