Brackish mind and worse energy
Swims the very channel of fear
Fear and death
Lightless path
Hope and black
Resistance for naught
Hell and back
To real terror
Horrifying the request
Telepathic stone
Verbalize at its behest
Summoner becomes
Atavus Lich
Visage from another Age
Passage through the stone
And Black Unknown
Motionless pools
Bear ancestral blight
Appearance be damned
A curse preferred
To this life as host
And deathless prison
Beyond the stone
And all that I’ve known
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
The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 22, 2020
