Whispers in the dead of the night
This shadow cast, this tomb below
The sun’s bright glow 'neath this cloak
Of darkness is as cold as the snow
Cast into the lot of deceivers
Watched, surveilled my every step
Clouded pain, in memory protects
Be not led astray by deceptive truth
Lies and malice that squander youth
This pain of truth brings clarity
Bleeds cathartically
Outside!
The gate of my mind
Inside!
These lies ruin a life
Unbroken
Unspoken
Call upon the shepherd, shadow of sun!
Call upon the shepherd, shadow of sun!
The shepherd watches ‘or his flock
'Neath the sun, with rotted crop
A lifetime of toil digging soil
Deliverance from this mortal coil
The shepherd watches ‘or his flock
'Neath the sun, with rotted crop
A lifetime of toil digging soil
Deliverance from this mortal coil

Crushed in these accursed chords of cruelty
I have lived through these torturous wounds
Echoes of darkness inside the void renders
The ego enthralled with jealousy and deceit
Under the wheel again
Grant unto me this enlightenment
Sigils and symbols strewn it compels
My mind is finding the peace
Finding harmony in the cognitive dissonance
Under the wheel again
Until the end of time
Under the wheel again
Finding harmony in the cognitive dissonance

Deep within this heart of being
Piercing through the sands of time
Veiled beneath this cold reality
Hidden from our sight
Obsidian soul
Cut off from the stone
Pulse that echoes
Through blood and bone
This bifurcation that channels
Through mirrors and candles
Antagonistic and anachronistic
Bliss fills the mind on the sill of the malevolent
The moon shines and reflects the sun
Crawl within the belly of avarice
Fate’s elation
Path forsaken
Obfuscation
The sun eclipsed
Thus this eternal night
Beckons the bringer of light
Swirling in this pool of shame
I can see the stars start to align
Reflecting and shining further compels me
They pierce inside deep in my soul
Ascending
Descending
Slave to the stone that
My spirit’s defending
As the wheel turns under the sun

Captured and corralled, burlap blinded, by rope bound
This creaking carriage, your cramped casket, peripatetic burial ground
Occular truncations offered, offal remains splayed
The witch betwixt dissection lies in wait on Hemwick Charnel Lane
Harvest
Vitae
Maledictus, Donum Libas
Inficimur, Maledictus Bestia
Matrum Nos Incudas, Argentum Aqua In Tenebris
Mater Sanguine, Redemptionis Nostrae
Vale Mare
Sanguine
The One Reborn must rise, so that we may line our brain with eyes
Cosmic ascension, apprehension of Eldritch insight
Severed from our mortal coil to procure the infinite light
Soaked in the glow of the blood moon, the streets of Yahar'gul will fill
Mensis Ritual must be complete, lest blood continue spill
Meager eyes look to eager skies for the Advent of our toil
Our deception buys ample time, our ploy benumbed to foil
The One Reborn must rise, so that we may line our brain with eyes
Cosmic ascension, apprehension of Eldritch insight
Severed from our mortal coil to procure the infinite light
Maledictus, Donum Libas
Inficimur, Maledictus Bestia
Pater Do Si Donas, Argentum Aqua In Tenebris
Mater Sanguine, Redemptionis Nostrae
Vale Mare
Sanguine
Townspeople maddened and turned to stone
The time has come for us to reap what we have sown
Blackened fissure in the firmament spews forth our amalgamation befouled
Malevolence breeds consequence
Consequence feeds loneliness
Loneliness leads madness
Madness heeds the Call Beyond
Malevolence breeds consequence
Consequence feeds loneliness
Loneliness leads madness
Madness heeds the Call Beyond
Host of the Nightmare!

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore

Interdimensional Invocations

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt.

A grand display that's equally gorgeous and grotesque! Churning, writhing rhythms lay the groundwork for caustic, venomous vocals and discordant melodies that remind me of a death metal version of Blut Aus Nord. One of 2023's best metal albums!
