Unyielding beast of war
Mechanisms fuelled from mass carnage
Mobilised, cruel ordnance
Shatters a ravaged earth
Wretches grinded in the mire,
Putrescence paved the way…
Forwards…
Advance!
Through the fray, into the storm of purging fire
Affixed our blades, we swarmed upon the trenches with merciless will
Dying screams to haunt eternity, fresh blood warm to our hands
Consecrated sacrifice, in offering to a deathless order
Immolating heroes, spitting on the ashes of the scorned
Men who prayed the hands of fate would deliver them to triumph
Thrown rigid from the gallows, bestowed to vermin
We broke their line, enveloped in a pincer formation
Rats scurry from the nests, ensnared by cleansing fire
Those trapped below the sodden earth, scrambled for armaments
I still feel those cold desperate hands, clawing at my face
Implement slaughter, as divine ordinance
Pathos trampled…
Under strides of will
Destiny, vanquished…
Through force of conquering steel
Communion, baptised in blood
With sacral murder, absolute
The world held in a vice, ever tightening
Engines of ruination, grind forth without end
No sanctum, structures obliterated to dust
Tombs to smother the dead and dying
Beneath clouds of crematory ash
So it is told…
So it is done...
Humanity is lost...
Humanity is obsolete...
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
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
