lyrics
inevitable death will come for me
as I linger in the womb of this life
above the surface like a shade
he awaits my steady rise
the end comes quick
a sudden stop forevermore
I will cease to exist
I will not grasp for eternity
I will rest my eyes
as I return to the depths
my life will peel away as bark to a flame
and my ash will sustain the earth
inevitable
relentless death will come for me
pale hand outstretched
I cannot see
beyond the veil
he's ticking off the days
and from his shadowed post I turn away
to view the earth through ashes gray
he awaits my steady rise
to the grave
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! Lukas Kaufmann

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
