Toil and Mockery
06:10
|
|
||
|
Toil amidst piss and pavement
Amidst concrete and stink
Results in toil
Rewards with mockery
Can it be realized?
Can it be forgotten?
Undone?
One by one in the weft
Disentangle
And the world’s ugliness is old

The World As Will
06:31
|
|
||
|
In day by white
Where naught else but ice
The waking distance between the living and no longer
Built to raze
Stone by stone by stone
By his own hand
Until nothing’s left
Until everything is unbuilt
Until the child drowns
The sky watches on
The wind rushes on
The child drowns
In gold and blue
There would be nothing for every name
The sleeping distance between the dead
The vacancy of a wound
A knife that shares your face
With eyes like glass

Mazzaroth
06:38
|
|
||
|
Painting cross a map's burnt edge
Mass expands as blackness
To spill beyond every thought as ink
And murk bleeds into every crease
Where all is without name
Lines intersect and collide
Begin and in tandem end
There find Violence; there find Peace
Rattling every story on until the telling is done

Robed In Torments
06:26
|
|
||
|
To a great weight tethered
With no reach or recourse
From out this force
From this motionless stare
It remains unseen
And looms over me
As a reflection in the deepest black
In distress
In defeat
In this unending place
With no escape
Lost
I am lost
And a presence grows
Looming
In which I suffocate
As detritus
I drift away
|

Hallucinating Fate
08:08
|
|
||
|
Fear is tossed away
Silence creeps slowly
Thoughts plague my mind
I lie still and afraid
What exists, I cannot comprehend
Swallowed by non-existence
Approaching the end
Minds shatter at the thought of the unexplained
All yields to fate
The cycle ends
To prod the real
And what remains
Reach finality
Awaiting the descent
Reserve my soul for salvation
Not present but aware

From Teeth, From Tongue
08:33
|
|
||
|
Fool
You who delves for jest
You who builds two sides
For knowledge when the box is opened
Wretched fool
With pedantic metaphor
With prescriptive slogans or
Words beyond your depth
And thoughts lesser yet
The world bathed in black
So robed go forth
Unfurled dedications lack
Weight or worth
Fools all and each
From death to birth
With naught to teach
|

In Shadow and Amber
06:22
|
|
||
|
Stillness of body
Wisdom of form
Grant me sight beyond this torment
The familiar is false
I watch
The beliefs are stripped away
Lurid perceptions besiege
To swallow the mind
Trapped are the helpless
Awaiting their demise
My will remains
Escaping horrors
As fears will follow
Clouded by terror
In dormant mind

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantation
supported by 38 fans who also own “Exegeses”
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.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

Illusions In The Wake

More bleak, enveloping atmospheric black metal from the masters at the Vendetta label, “aevum” is both harrowing & strangely beautiful.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 31 fans who also own “Exegeses”
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!
