Forged Doctrine
04:46
|
|||
|
Alone and unbowed
Before the shifting horrors
Myopic eyes hunt ravenous
For the hollow sacrifice
Cruel edifice demands flesh
Without reason, without desire
Stave off the privation
Metaphysical cannibalism
Abolition of spirit
Obfuscation of truth
Divide, maximise disharmony
An age of quarrel beckons
Demonstrable subjugation
Grand imposition of force
Path of most resistance
An affront to nature
Spiritual transgression
Character wounded and judged
Zealotry clutched in pallid paws
Principles negated without conscience
Iniquitous regime
Wholly callous
Humanity butchered
Extinction denies reincarnation
Icon violated
Wrought iron cruciform, transfigured
Bred to suffer in chains
Obeisance supplants discipline
Intangible decline, old ways perish
Command for violence
Civility displaced
Regression deposes the tender-hearted
Weakness pervades, of mind, body and essence
Man seeks comfort in failed philosophy and doctrine
Dependent, parasitic begging
Trodden beneath hierarchy
Few stood intransigent
Stolid on the path
Warrior of the over-way
Atop the swarming rats
Seized the hammer
And forged the doctrine of overcoming

Manifest Odium
02:11
|
|||
|
False declaration of peace
Old zenith decapitated….
Annexed, effaced
Stratagem in the shadows
Emergent terror, no longer dormant
Architects of deceit, cultivate untruth
Fervent sleeper kills in silence
Principles fall to moral ambiguity
|
||||

Noose Above the Abyss
04:36
|
|||
|
I am the lightning that illuminates
A scorched path carved by power
I cast into judgement all theory
Severed, the umbilical cord of dependency
I am the tightening noose
That strangles man stretched above the abyss
Promise of glory
Shattered by monstrous inequalities
Stone versus skull
Herds of frivolity
Tethered in pathos
Born, between shit and piss
Die, without dignity
Boot upon throat, hand over mouth
Smothered
Held in the iron grip of oppression
Will trampled
Prayers silenced
Hope cast into fire
|
||||
4. |
Gloryless Execution
03:07
|
|||
|
Transgress the antechamber….
Vestibule of subterranean butchery
Flesh cleaved from bone
Ego reduced to mince
Eternity of nothing beckons
Linear time eradicated
Flayed
Cavities split
Maggots infest the cleanest meat
Flense the unworthy
Renderings returned to the earth
Cult amass
Headless ibex
Exploring the veins
Blood and plasma harvested
Medidate atop the dead
Transcendence through barbarism
|
||||
5. |
Tides of Regression
06:30
|
|||
|
Downturn and the great undoing
The old world is dead and discarded
Modern zeitgeist relegated to the sewers
Disgraced bodies atop the excreta
Inhaling the ash of the ruins
Humanity renounced, resigned to savagery
Unspeakable atrocities committed
The vulnerable annihilated…
Embodiment of schadenfreude
Bound in the spiritual union of warfare and flesh
Subconscious command to accelerate the decline
Dearth of justice
Totality of predation
Atrocity indicted
Mirrors one’s own nature
Hands in prayer, hope pathetic
Amassed and prostate, throats slit
Flesh undone in crumpled waves
Embolic lungs drowned in blood
The tides of regression swell
Eroding the harrowed remnants
Self negated and scorned
Perpetuation of failure itself
Din of pyres upon a blood horizon
Hectares of bodies crucified, impaled and hanged
Stripped and kilned to feed the unconquerable fire
Chained to the remnants of the temple
Acquiesce
|

6. |
A World Lit Only by Fire
06:44
|
|||
|
Commence
Upon passage of darkness
Crude forms of worship
Collision with immovable objects
Behold the corridors of uncertainty
Charred bone edifice
Altar of rendered flesh
Unquenchable hunger
The fire never stops searching
Catalyst to force the divide
Human dignity an eroded memory
Chained and beaten into submission
Evolution halted, primitive resurgence
Indisputable truth, rendered obsolete
Assertion of primordial dominance
Rock crushes bone
Foster discontent
Bonds strayed
Loyalty questioned
Lines caste
Lungs calloused from smoke
The ardent flame demands veneration
Exsanguinated offerings borne
Despised effigy burns
Destined to die between rock and chains
Destitute in a world lit only by fire
|
||||
7. |
Swarming Blight
02:27
|
|||
|
Simmering chaos
Draining time
Flayed in the torture hut
Fall into the abyss…
Paradoxical strain
Cycles of power
Handless... Self sacrifice
Leads to execution...
Growing asymmetry, conflicting orders
Terror anarchism….
Transpire….
Dreams concretely
Reject…
Assault on the inner life
Transformed….
Into an imperishable state
Truth…
Exists outside of time
Devoured…
Security in the void
Argillite adze carves the divine flesh
Defiling intelligent creation
|
||||
8. |
Mystic and Chaos
00:45
|
|||
|
Savant and savage
Noble barbarism
Apex retrograde
Disciplined murder
Paradigm upheaval
Forged in entropy
Temper those who seek out death
Regaled in extinction
|
||||
9. |
Hubris and Decline
02:53
|
|||
10. |
||||
|
Beaten animal lashing out, toothless and declawed
Utterly hopeless defiance
Sticks and rocks hurled in desperation
Futile against the Iron Fortress, edifice of the unconquerable
Volition within a prescribed fate
Governed within labyrinthian walls
Every thought scrutinised
Every breath stifled and surveyed
Obedience until death
Barbed ouroboros of eternal misery
The recurring eternal of warfare
The somatic form trampled, a mere vessel for survival
Descend with bayonets
Driven by forces beyond control
Prisoners strangled each other in the night
Last semblance of mercy leaves this world
Upon the plateau I beheld the death of multitudes
Sol Valtiva, irradiating the chaos
Anaemic herds caught in the tempest
Subterranean exiles flinch at the thunder of ordnance
Firestorms of choking embers envelop
Inferno without reprieve
Those that flee the flame
Suffocate on the ashes of their kin
Who controls the narrative, controls moral right
Who controls themselves, dictates the corporeal
A boot stamping upon my chest
Staring with cruel eyes, alight with malice
“I am that which you wish to become,”
Stabbed through heart
Nature itself served the fire, an unyielding force consuming all
If my progeny survived this inferno, they would spit curses upon my name
A future forsaken, no return to the comfort of falsehood
I turned my head, and it all came undone

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.

super duper good follow up to their first record, which is a modern death doom classic, here they went in a bit of a different and more ambitious direction

Leprous Daylight
by Fossilization
supported by 39 fans who also own “Edifice”
So after spending the better part of the last 2 years going as hard as possible at every extreme metal show I could on the US East Coast, you could say I'm burned out on death metal music lol. I'm sorry, but after seeing hundreds of great bands - shit just seems kind of same-y to me, you know? So it takes something really special to bring me back into the death metal fold. Fossilization are my boys & this is an amazing work of art. I cannot recommend it enough. Now... back to my Coltrane 😂🤣

Nel Nome Del Codice
by KEYGEN CHURCH
The eerie grandeur of horror film pipe organ music gets an industrial lift on the latest killer from Keygen Church.
