lyrics
dappled sunlight, through trees of old
casting golden hues, upon the wagon
a hooded figure, seated at the reigns
his face obscured by shadow, round his neck a glowing stone
emanating power
and ancient knowledge
arcane secrets
of a dying order
ever onward, into the setting sun
no past behind him, only vengeance lies ahead
into the city, towers of white stone
the streets are empty, soon they will flow with blood
the sun has set, now bathed in moonlights glow
in through the palace gates, to claim in blood the vengeance of his soul
bathing in power, the amulet begins to glow
screams arise in the night, as the ancient dread claims that which has been owed
he fell among their sleeping forms
beams of light, lancing as if they were cold steel
and all at once the bodies fall
a hunger rising, an ancient power old beyond time
yet still the darkness inside persists
his vengeance has brought no peace
misery breeds misery, he slumps to the floor
as outside, morning sun begins to rise
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
Müür est une formation apatride qui n'est pilotée par personne et ne développe aucun thème précis : son raw black metal, c'est de la musique dans sa manifestation la plus gratuite. Cauldron Bog, sa première création, est une expérience qui ne peut se vivre pleinement qu'à l'instant T : on patauge dans un marais qui se déploie à l'infini gouverné par un Corbeau hurlant. Mais ce lieu désespéré offre aussi la rédemption : le chant clair profond nous guide, les atmosphères stellaires sont absolues ! Jordan Vauvert
In a world of similar album covers, Dragged to a Lunar Grave is one of the best of the genre. And (a bit late) I'm pleased to say this split happily carries on the tradition. Luke
This wild 35-track all-metal benefit album features Mare Cognitum, Panopticon, and more reinventing songs by Tori Amos & others. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 3, 2020
The harrowing black metal from this Olympia, WA artist demolishes like a typhoon—a whirling, threatening cloud of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2023
