lyrics

He bore the mark of hunger
Curled mangling pain
His iris was dilated
On the eye that remained

Deprived of Respite

His face a work of scars
Leprous bright wounds
That never trully mend

His face a work of scars
That never truly mend
Relying upon the Void
To see him through the bitter end

He stood upon the serpent stone
And held a moments time
Then took the step that had him brought
Before the basalt shrine

He crossed his feet together
And took a pilgrims stance
His mangled fingers forming seals
That set his mind in trance

He reached inside his shriveled throat
And tore his blackened tongue
And chanted gargling blasphemies
Towards the world of man

The offering accepted but barely satisfied
The dweller of the shrine would have his one remaining eye

The eremite extruded a crude and broken blade
And with it took his one last eye and proved the name Unmade

Prepared for the occasion he cast a spell of sight
And finally bore witness to the Madness of the Shrine

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in. No one else, no one else. A magical 2023 black metal journey all fans should experience. JT EXTREME
