Towers Of Silence

Under these solemn skies I bury the dead
On top of these towers of silence
Upon completing my task I peer towards the distance
I see smoke rising up from my village
Rushing across the plains my legs can only carry me so far
Exhaustion lays claim over my body in the end
When I awake an ethereal specter stands before me
He informs me that my home is now a grave
I am the absolute, I am the infinite
I am that which stems forth from everything and nothing
Tell me what is it that you desire? Is it death or revenge?
Tell me what it is that you seek. I'll elucidate your fate
What is this flawed legacy?
What is your shadow of intent?
I want to see blood run red and soil the earth
To see the flies copulate in their open graves
Grant me the power to seek revenge and I'll do what you wish
As I hunt them one by one, I shed their blood in your name
Vengeance is my purpose now. Violence cradles my hate
Flesh and bone is met with wrath
Watch as they bargain and plead in vain
No mercy is given. No remorse is spared
Lifeless eyes meet my gaze

Arrow Of Time

Expanding baryons will lose
Their gravitational energy
Mass can no longer be maintained
The end of entropy
The dynamic form of mechanic effect
Ceases thermal balance
Life becomes baptized in this
Frozen fiery haze
Following the decay of both space and time
Giants and nebulas embrace everything in sight
Black holes begin to devour with voracious appetite
Nothing escapes their grasp, not even the light
All begins to fall in this cosmic dance of death
Things unknown behind the veil are brought to the edge
Murmurs of the end, they whisper to us all
Ripples of the end, they come for us all

Rivers Of Lost Faith

Breathe and feed my abandoned son
You were the promise of my salvation
This heavenly body put behind blind eyes
Planting the seeds of deceit and lies
Roots ensnare and grow to become the truth
I journey forth aimless
Between thoughts of hope and relentless fear.
The beauty of this vision, drawing near
Mirror looming illuminates and casts reflections of the face of God
Put on this Earth to suffer forces of self infliction
Abandonment of all and glory just for one
We feed amongst our own, we throw to the bottom
This river is our home. This bed is where we sleep
Silenced for the betterment of all humanity
Our corpses gather at the bottom of these rivers of lost faith
Our corpses gather at the bottom of these rivers of lost faith
Rivers of lost faith erode the stone
That keep us clutched on for dearest life
Rivers of lost faith erode the stone
That keep us latched on for dearest life
We are the heart rot of this world
The core quickly decays and we disappear as quickly as we came
Our creations, our fantasies, manifest reality
and what we strive for becomes archetype of myth

Gold Laden Eyes
15:21
|

Bearing witness to transcendence of mortal coil towards the unknown
Watchers vigil heralds unto me, arrival of the ending road
Horizons filled with absence, I turn away one last time
Memoirs of blood hold a keepsake of you in my veins
Wielding this feeling, like a blade
Vesper shall hold its place, in halls of marrow
Left to join council with ancient tongues, blackened with sorrow
Gold laden eyes, beckon forth the ferryman
To gain favor and passage into unvoyaged skies
Crossing over waters of Styx. Breaching through aether's end
Eternal winds are at your back, leading you through foreign tides
Pyres burn incandescently, lit by those left behind
One last trial of fire shall be undertaken before this gathering says their goodbyes
With solemn hearts and reverie, recalling dearly departed's time
The saga of your memory is the monarch of this night
Riposa in pace
Anima meravigliosa
May the darkness guide you to the light
You shall live on through me
Not everyone is destined for greatness.
In this life, or the next.
You will live on through me.
In this fact, greatness is found.
Set forth on exodus, to fulfill a last request
This shall be seen through, fed by vehemence
Stoic native monolith, embraces you, interred
A place where the whispering winds voice, is the only thing to be heard
Riposa in pace
Anima meravigliosa
May the darkness guide you to the light
You shall live on through me

Embers Of Eternity
07:38

Mankind, what are we without worth?
Compost, Feeding the soil from birth
Labor tears the flesh and we regenerate
We are nothing more than stubborn waste
Put forth to provide the next generation of ideas stifled
Of perverse, impoverished, begotten ignorance and progress denied
Take me from this mortal coil
Throw me to the flames of nihility
In the embers of eternity
Oh, how it's tempting me
Corrupting my conscious with its song
The void is calling me home
Take me from this mortal coil
Throw me to the flames of nihility
In the embers of eternity
The masses of minds have gone unprofessed
The wasting of thought meets critical mass
The selling of patterns and prediction of growth
Autogenic theocracy becomes event horizon
Products of ruin, incestual heirs; lay waste beyond remission
Minds squandered and ripped from the past towards the present
Each branch of choice, altered in nature
Funneled into confines of despair
Converging on this force
Damnation
Harvesting the true indication of mankind
Compassion becomes self obsolescence
Any sign of virtue, any glimmer of hope
Is a pyrite attraction that will burn amaranthine
It has become apparent survival precedes any facet of morality
We are forced to revel in our greed
A mountain we climb to dig our cold and shallow graves
Only to be ignored by the grace of heavens gaze
Take me, throw me
In the embers of eternity
Take me, throw me
The void is calling me
Take me, throw me
In the embers of eternity
Take me, throw me
The void is calling me home
Home

Encased in shell of burdens, I seem to have lost my way
Will some form of higher power rid me of the minds plague and decay
How I long to be free again. To wander free from loathing in this place
Making pilgrimage in aims to re-mend and feel the suns warmth on my face
For far too long, I have been remiss Clarity has finally come to me
In prostrations failure I profess
Solace and wisdom is what I seek
Like a Phoenix I rise towards bliss
Soaring skywards, spreading my wings
Not in likeness of Icarus
Carpe diem, I declare victory
Remaining steadfast within the tempest
Braving slings and arrows of misfortune
Honing my will, through forge and steel
In hopes to see the visage of the divine
Oh gods I beseech thee to bestow unto me the courage and strength to witness another day
Should I fail to honor you and my lineage, then you may spirit me away.
As I gaze towards the stars
I shed my skin and am born again
Ascending towards annals of God
Tears stream down my face
The firmament embraces me
Healing my wounds, scars begin to fade
I begin to see myself anew
Metamorphosis is complete.

Can't believe I'm getting on this 2 years late. Such a well-crafted experience, it is exactly what I've been craving out of the doomgaze subgenre. Heavy, sprawling, dark and mysterious. Heroin is less addictive.

A really good blackened death metal record, a bit of meat and potatoes, but definitely has a lot of catchy moments in it.

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.

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be.
