Silence over the tower
Vultures split the chest
Measure the size of a tear
Filthy mass once to be redeemed
The ephemeral chase started with ululation
Ripping off the lovely bloodflow
Ripping off the veil
Gasp of the first breath
Choked with the gale of eternity
Vultures split the chest
Measure the size of a tear
Filthy mass once to be redeemed
Throe! Howl!
(vultures start the hunt)
On the first day they flew
Deep into the wasteland
The smell of succulent prey
Swirled into nostrils
On the second day
They climbed over the lair
Lust clenched their beaks
Hoaxed their brains
The spore of death was ready
To consume
(vultures start the hunt)
Tell me the story of your life
A life that doesn’t want to live
Shadows come up to me
Shadows turn your visage
Shadows there is no place
Shadows
Where is delight?
Where is sorrow?
Vultures end the hunt
Purification

I etch your name upon the dust of my skin
Yet time erodes the traces of where you’ve been
Hope lingers like a phantom, dimming from view
Your voice, a haunting whisper, fades like morning dew
Ja na brzegu stała
Ciebie czekała
I wait for a sign
I wait for a breath
I yearn for a voice
And I sing to the ashes
I sing to the dust
Ja na brzegu stała
Ciebie czekała
Your shadow drifts upon the mournful breeze
Winds whisper through the barren trees
The sun has turned to rust bleeding down the sky
And all the stars have perished leaving me blind

Tempting the weakness of mankind
Sin let it be
Aborted from the woman's wound
Sin let it be
The scent of the vicious pleasure
Sin let it be
It makes me rumble
Running through the umbilical cord
Silently poisoning the arbor vitae
Sin in thee grows in a thousand trees
Branching in, stiffening
Giving birth to lust and gluttony
Sin in thee grows in a thousand trees
Branching in, stiffening
Giving birth to greed and sloth
Sin in thee grows in a thousand trees
Branching in, stiffening
Giving birth to wrath and envy
Sin in thee grows in a thousand trees
Branching in, stiffening
Giving birth to pride
Revelation yet to come
Have no mercy
Revelation yet to come
Exile
Among the coal coloured branches where the devil lives
The red rose is hiding hugging to the old tree
Salt crystallize over vibrating moss
Crawling through the parchment skin
Emerging from the opaque mists
Revelation yet to come
Flood have no mercy
Flood yet to come
Sending the sanctity
I want to push it away
And I will push it away
I want to push it away
For the last time leave my flesh
I want to push it away
I want to catch it and say
For the last time, I let you stay
One day they say, don’t pray
I want to push it away
I want to push it away
Hundreds of souls died before you
Fearing this,hundred
Oh they tried
I want to push it away
I want to push it way
All the lies in fenced the afterlife
One day
Among unrepentant undergrowth
Where the translucent carrion rots
Withered fingers crawl
Rummage for lust and love
The sinner, betrayer
Redeemer of man
Mankind is going under
Mankind is dying here

The Long Road North
by Cult of Luna
supported by 97 fans who also own “Emovere”
CoL's most brooding and terrestrial project since Eternal Kingdom. As someone who initially fell in love with their more direct stuff (Vertikal, Salvation) getting into the more atmospheric side of their work has been a long road. To say atmospheric does not mean soft though. This album is like being pummelled by a blizzard.

supported by 92 fans who also own “Emovere”
I slept on this band for a criminally long time. I think what really grabs me is the versatility on display. Soaring clean vocals, an almost post-punk rhythm section, big-ass drums, even some John Carpenter synths in there… Strong album of the year contender here. Excellent, varied experience here that covers a lot of ground and rewards repeat listens.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 90 fans who also own “Emovere”
A monumental album (as most of theirs). It's hard to pinpoint a single track because they all flow into each other, which is also a trademark of Ulcerate.

Martyrdom
by Inanimus & Elyvilon
The debut LP from psych-doom group Inanimus features dungeon synth artist Elyvilion and blends crushing riffs with big atmospherics.
go to album
A ferocious display of blackened stoner-doom from Moscow's Moanhand, who offsets moments of bleak ugliness with clean, haunting melody.

Cutting the Throat of God
by Ulcerate
supported by 85 fans who also own “Emovere”
M o n u m e n t a l Admittedly Ulcerate's music projects a very specific flavour - and omits countless others - focusing on perfecting the marrow of their dramaturgical message towards humanity... Nonetheless, in my opinion: Cutting the Throat of God should be thoroughly studied by future Music & Art Historians, and let's not exaggerate by comparing or analyzing - however - I believe that some of you can instinctively sense it.. Ulcerate have reached an unforeseen peak.. haven't they?
