More Burial = More Better đ€©đ€©đ€©
This isnât normally the style of BM I gravitate to, but it just âworksâ for me, regardless of that.
Super strong initial effort đ€đ»

Blackened eyes
Breathless this night
Pestilential flies
Devouring fleshless remains
A ceremony of
Bloodletting cast by flame and shadow
Blackened eyes
Breathless this night
Pestilential flies
Devouring fleshless remains
A ceremony of
Bloodletting. Blackened eyes.
Along the rift of abandonment
I left behind
The remains of who I was
Alone and neglected.
Irreverence at the altar
Of endless discontent
The endless cycle
Begins again and again.
Along the rift of abandonment
I left behind
The remains of who I was
Beyond the planes of sanity
I sought refuge beneath the light
Widowed and forsaken
Lost and turned around
Blackened eyes
Alive and in flight
Swarms of disease
Malnourished and ravish
Bleeding knees and mutilated limbs
A ritual of flame and shadow
Behind the eyes of
Everlasting condemnation
I sought the keys
A blind attempt
To regain who I lost
In the wandering to find myself
I am ageless.

Malice
Worthless
Devoid of being
Bones cast into sundering seas
Lit by the flames of
Ancient insight
Gathered here, a flightless journey
Embarked by those who
Held too tight
The knell of humanity
Echoes boundless
Through the valleys
And the hills
Beckons writhed from dirt
Desolate and uncouth
I move toward the dark
Toward the endless
Desperation of what I was
Who I became
Hung and flayed for
Prying eyes
Aloud, I scream
Let me free
Cast into the hand
Of a nameless fate
All must enter
Through the door
Beneath the tides of
Withdrawn shadow
Drowning in this mortal coil
The unnamed presses hard upon us
Alone, I writhe
Yearning to be free
Alone, I bleed
Pleading to be released
Alone, I scry
Searching for answers
Alone, I search
I am worthless

All along, this road led
To the place I longed for, begotten to suffering
A thought swept to the winds of time
A specter to torment
(Lost in the ever gloom), a life without purpose
A vision blistered by the vomit of a thousand marauders
All along, I crawled this passage
Feeble, with broken limbs I recoil
These hands can bleed no more
This spirit has nothing left to give
(Swept in the eventide), an existence with no meaning
A fractured remnant soiled with the remains of their decay
All along, I remained plagued by
The haunting presence bound to me
Cryptic visions unearthed in blood
Writhing under dominion of a wraith
(Interred beneath the massacre of the shadow), a life now adrift
enshrouded by the desperate laments of those wasting away
All along, (all along)
We shift toward the void
Of self eradication
All along, (all along)
We sink, drowning in
The bile that they spew
(Released and ruptured), beneath the broken moon
A life infected by the poison forced down our throats
The abandonment of intrinsic sentience
A mind plagued by the maggots, squirming to find the light
We are nameless

Pale Swordsman

Atmospheric Black Metal as it should be - this record has everything. Brillant!

While I do not yet know whether I prefer Dreaming in a Dead Language or A Place for Ash, this is an absolutely stunning and remarkably well-written black metal album. Not only does it sound even better (not! polished, but fittingly natural with a sharp, raw edge) than its predecessor, it sports a particularly engaging songwriting quality. From the unorthodox start of Penance to the atmospheric, epic and yet crushing, self-devouring closer this album keeps getting better the deeper one's in.

La Grande Heresie

...And justice for every bass player that ever walked this planet. There is ALWAYS something interesting around every corner of what I dub the 'Phil Tougas Cinematic Universe', and this debut release from Zeicrydeus is no exception. Much like Phil's guitar playing, his bass playing is absolutely exceptional, and if that's even remotely your thing, check this out. It's awesome.
