The Shattering
She falls to the nameless
She falls to the shapeless
Forth is the disease
And praying for our souls
A gaze of apathy
Foul and turbulent
A force of majesty
Veiled fallacy
Garted temptation
And pulled to the beyond
Crashing down
Crashing down
The tendrils of the rot
Seeping further in
And as the soul fades
I look into the eyes
Staring back is pain
Regrets of her life
Fated to a death
And this is your time
Fading life
We must not weep
Aching now
Sorrow steeps
Death will come
For us alive
Remorseless swing
Of the scythe
The crow soars high above our grief tonight, the fall of our lives
Death in sight, leave our souls and
Take what's yours tonight
Reaching into the blight
Feeding the sorrows in light
Reaching into the blight
Feeding the sorrows in light
Eternal emptiness
To witness a death
Our own mortality
So fragile as the hourglass
The futility
Of our endless tries
To perfect the path
When nothing lingers on
And yonder is but black
And nought in happiness
For your time is now
There is no turning back

Reflections of Delusion
The world sinks below
In bolshy shades of grey
And how I must yearn
For clarity
The madness of it all
The precious always fall
How this came to pass
And conscious to the last
Perditions of my fate
Phantasmal at the gate
Grey and sombre I must abate
Reflections of the way
Eternal malady
An affliction of the decay
Tracing down my spine
Premonitions while supine
A plague now of my decline
The beauty now perishes
I cannot accept your death
Marred upon, marred upon the soul
Grey and dying
Ever prying
Grey and dead, dead upon the soul
Grey and dying
Sombre lying
Perturbed by the storm
Solace crashing oars
Shipwrecked by the shore
Fallen now once more
Fading into night
Seeking yonder light
The rocks of grief draw near
Lapping at my heels
Oceans pull me in
And under do I sink
Slumber in the deep
And still cannot believe
Denial of your death
Weeping your last breath
Seas of sorrow weep
To me they shall reveal and
Bequeath!

Throes Of Agony
Writhing in the night
Blooming into blight
Seething to the maw
Swirling evermore
To be grave of mind
Crushing to my eye
Peeling back the veil
Ailing I surveil
I am the rotting in your mind
I am the howling in the night
Fallow is thy sin
Sombre seeping in
Darkness shallow grave
Screaming as thy slave
While the anger steeps
Closing in the teeth
Stifled is thy heart
Stormy waters chart
I am callous and pulsing with agony
Save thy quiet and binding the malady
I am callous and pulsing with agony
Save thy quiet and binding the malady
I will rip out every piece of thy
Malaise mind and every inch of the
Consciousness
You hold so dear
I am final, end all thought in the
Festered annals now distraught
In the consciousness
You hold so dear

Proteus
Staring out at the sea
Clutch my dagger close at hand
Fate is clouded with my grief
And hoping for a better life
Oh mighty beyond
To them that we call
Sendeth benevolent signs
Return us this day
So callously grave
Why must we suffer this way?
Fate upon us
Faith is spurious
Maddening growing in me
Why erroneous
Grey delirious
Hourglass tumble beneath
Bargaining
Anguishing
Lamenting
Bargaining
Despairing
Suffering
Fallacy of our dismay
Lauding our sorrows this day
Come unto us we beseech
Mortuary hidden beneath
A call up into the night
A wish to you answer this plight
Finality cannot accept
Eternal I shall be bereft
I am falling
I am jaded
Mired in apathy
I am worn
And so frustrated
Steeped in agony
Come and take me
To the night now
Broken by this death
Just one chance
To say goodbye
Is all I really ask
I will follow on the path
The memory will live on
Lingers the strong desire
Depression sublime
Many times we slip into the state
Unknown reason cannot sate
Righteous, bargain to the deep
A simple method of relief
Wailing to the end of days
Calling forward, now too late
Longing still forever gone
I am afraid of what's to come
Ratified by the ways of one
Glorify the graceful doom
Marching onward to a fate now hopeless
Sealing now the runes of ages past
Foolish I see, were my dreams
Now languished
I bargained for your life
And toiled with my strife
But in the end it was unwise
To truly become one
And mourn the passing on
Reflection into me
And mending underneath

Zenith Dolour
Eyes have followed me
I cannot see
Through lacrimosa thick and grim
I'm grey again
Sun gone again
Full moons are born anew
A tithe is now upon the soul
A shallow grave bury us all
The weight of all bears down on me
And sorrow fills my mind with grief
All is gone
And dying
Weight upon
And trying
Silent introspection made
Familiar faces now berate
Macabre and dancing all again
Grey and empty we pretend
Uttered curse morose and low
And ailed by the great sorrow
Fettered by depression black
The burden resting on thy back
Now be marred again
All is gone again
Laying down again
Fate is cruel again
Eyes have followed past
And weeping for at last
Razing all my hope
Lost in clouds of smoke
Fated by above
But fallen now below
New moon has decreed
For eternity

Valediction
Is mortality the fallacy
Which none of us can cling to?
Why is the call of angels just like that of siren screams?
Why do call upon this Earth
When we are fallen right from birth?
Is it our right to be obtuse
And to be torn asunder?
We call upon the souls
Those forgotten from beyond
To accept my bitter fate
Unravels time entangled state
To bring about the end of days
Will try the frailty and mandate
Our resolve become born anew
And beckon now this hollow view
A year now to the day
A malady of grey
And behind me the ashes of empires
The silence said it all
And grieving his call
And the shadows of nascent black pyres
Apparition banished unto thee
The falling hourglass drifting past
Fragments of glass, grains of sand
And finally, I understand
I have found the way and I holdfast
All I see is all I need
Feeling it's all
Feeling it's all the same
Sorrows give way
Give way to new days now
Sorrows in vain and away is the pain
It's clear as day now
Everything is waylaid now
To elation, false temptation
Crowning the joy with alleviation

Burning my eyes with the tears
Ac ofnus dros ben, felly hir
Frustrations and seething the past
Grief and the die is now cast
Unable to progress
The solace and abyss
All consumed with my grief
Fear all encompassing
Wallowing in pasts
Forward with no path
Death incarnate disbelief
Bleak and hallowed underneath
The great undoing of anguish
And the grave undoing of fates
Delicate lines of aether
The ever crossed eyre we sate
A shred of sanity
Is now forever lost
Change is long forgotten
And a remnant of the past
Emblazoned in the psyche
Afront to that beneath
Callous are the vessels
And cryptic to the teeth
Secrets of the past
The time slipping away
Embroiled in the starlight
The final crashing waves
I am fallen scarified and
Emptiness all to the future
Silence shrouds the ever grey
Shattered now and lying in the grave
Burning my lies with the fears
Ac ofnus dros ben, felly hir
Conflagrations, grieving the past
Bleak and the die is now cast
Forever!

On Frostbitten, Grima continue their atmospheric and melodic, snow seared, blistering style of black metal that they have worked not only to achieve but also maintain with excellent consistency. The keyboard elements add a wonderful depth that brings the whole performance together. These guys should be considered one of the best modern black metal acts around right now. 8/10

Some of the finest Italian Pagan / BM I have heard as of late. Their more trad HM influences can be indeed be heard throughout their third full-length, especially in "HRINGS", really loved the riffs. Revelation album of 2024, truly a magnum opus! Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, your ass Yoma will kick, this album listen you must :))
