Idę przez jałowe pola
Piętnem Aresa spalone
Horyzont szkarłatem zlany
Ziemia nasiąkła krwią
Zastygłą
W rdzawym pyle
Stoję skąpany
Kości sczezłe
A nad nimi
Cienie duszy, miraże
Całunem czasu spętane
Nie pomny jestem ni początku
Ni przyczyny, bodźca
Lecz pewny tylko niczego
Tylko końca…
Machina w ruch wprawiona
zatacza koła – niewzruszona
Trwa przed mym świtem
A i mój zmierzch
Jedynie sił jej doda
Z Pustki stworzeni
W Czerni wzrastamy
Próżni jesteśmy
I całunem czasu spętani
W Nicość wracamy
Stoję łkając
Nad brzegami Acheronu
Me łzy zasilają
Wieczną rzekę Styks
Rwące wody Lethe
Obejmują zmysły
Próżny nasz trud
O pamięć starania
W Dół zmierzamy
W proch obracamy
W Nicość wracamy
Całunem czasu spętani
Five years after The Dreaming I, this follow-up continues the terrifying and wondrous music of Naas Alcameth's nightmarish shadow realms, creating one of the most innovative and fascinating sounds in extreme metal. 'Ephialtes' is absolutely sensational, opening with incredible power, and building to one of the album's highlights starting at 1:31. 'Incubatio' is equally cataclysmic, with its dark ambient intro, followed by blistering blast beats, until the apocalyptic shriek at 2:51 — unreal! Obsidian One
Here's to some more cosmic metal, the Karlsruhe based outfit offers crude yet extremely well produced sound in this earlier effort.
Featuring mid-tempo cadences, occasional blast beating, high pitched shrieking essentially, the riffing has this mildly meaty, sensational over-atmospheric tilt that's always well received on my part.
The perspective of getting sucked into a wormhole had never felt better I kid you not.
Emperor and Inherits the Void in mind, you just can't skip this one. doive
The concert at Resurrection Fest 2025 was spectacular, one of the best, brutal music and a tough World War I theme. Greetings from Avilés in Asturias, Spain. There are videos of the concert on my Facebook page "Manuel Hernando." Hernando
Gloriously unrelenting, the new black metal masterpiece from Moray uses slashing riffs and searing vocals to tell an unsettling story. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 5, 2023
The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023
This latest release is especially fierce, a ferocious blend of black metal and industrial that has only grown on me. It may even surpass Melinoë, no easy feat. 'The Mask of Night-Speaking' builds to a cataclysmic crescendo, erupting into a fury of the blackest kind at 6:00, as if the entire track was meant for that one moment — a true Akhlys signature. 'Eye of the Daemon' is equally powerful, steeped in nightmare-inspired soundscapes, with 1:54 also showcasing the raw force of this dark art. Obsidian One
