Gaze upon
Wisps of white steam rising up
On the hill
Fires burn
Kneel down
And feel the heat of 50 years
Breath deep
And smell the stench of sulphurous blight
Choke your lungs
Burn your eyes
Listen close
And hear the rumbling sounds below
And all was still
In the mornings dreary blue light
As I stood there
Cold and alone
Draped in a shroud of sorrowful silence
Ruins extend 'long a gray horizon
The tides of time have come and gone
Washing away all that was
Ivy besets the aging stone
And shadows grow long in the waning light
Effluvium fills the empty streets
The air gets cold at the onset of night
Draped in a shroud of sorrowful silence
Ruins extend 'long a gray horizon
The tides of time have come and gone
Washing away all that was
And I stand atop this hill
At the gates of Centralia
This is horrifying - in such a fantastically bloody way. Icicles form between each empty space - an occasional guitar riff warms the edges. There’s no stopping the madness in these vocals. J. Wukotich
Satanath's daily promo email worked! It brought this album to my attention, and I liked it so much I decided to buy it and a few other Satanath releases while I was at it 💸
I'm struggling to think of a useful comparison right now, but this is definitely good black metal :) Jarak
The excellent French metal band Epectase return with another brain-bender, offering an almost proggy take on black metal fury. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2022
An exciting debut from the chilean band. Violent riffs, unstoppable rhythm, and a perfect combination of the characteristic elements of speed, thrash, and black metal. This album will keep you headbanging while it lasts. Better mixing and mastering are needed in order to get their sound to the next level, if that is fixed and with a little more dynamics in their compositions, a bright future awaits them. elhater
