He proffers, she's offered a means to escape
Sweet melody, in harmony she finally lifts the weight
With a feeling so pure, This life she can endure
No memories, or reflection, but time for introspection
It was a simple time
With laughter, love and rhyme
No cares, no remorse
in this life, there's no recourse
She grins from ear to ear as she's finally free
She has been granted every little thing she needs
But time will not forgive as the Father gets his due
She could not foresee all the vileness that ensued
His wrath, a pox (a pox,) a plague (a plague,) alludes (eludes)
Her path, a sham (a sham,) a haze (a haze,) construed (construed)
His wrath, a pox (a pox,) a plague (a plague,) alludes (eludes)
Her path, a sham (a sham,) a haze (a haze,) construed (construed)
He proffers, she's offered a means to escape
Dark inflection, insurrection of the mind
With feelings so mundane, driven slowly insane
Incessant paranoia lingers in her brain
It was a wretched time
With sadness, life so unkind
hopeless, with no support
in this life, only remorse
He grins from ear to ear as she finally bends the knee
She has been striped of every little thing she needs
But time will not forgive as the Father gets his due
She could not foresee all his circuitous clues
His wrath, a pox (a pox,) a plague (a plague,) alludes (eludes)
Her path, a sham (a sham,) a haze (a haze,) construed (construed)
His wrath, a pox (a pox,) a plague (a plague,) alludes (eludes)
Her path, a sham (a sham,) a haze (a haze,) construed (construed)
Dancing in the moonlight it's the blind leading the blind
Blissful ignorance as they careen towards their demise
Youthful arrogance, bountiful mind bending delights
Audacious laughter lifted up to the nights sky
Led down the sinuous trail, begat from raising hell
Smoke and mirrors

In a world where nothing is sacred
Where the fear of God is used for hatred
These parasites and sycophants
They’re no better than the fucking rats
They tell you they are unable
Another lie in their twisted fable
There is no integrity
Whatever happened to responsibility?
How many people have died? There’s no answer
How many times have they lied, it doesn’t matter
Nothing else could be tried, that’s no answer
How many people have died?
Tow the line
It doesn’t matter
What a disaster
You need no answers
Tow the line
Fear by design
Your eyes they lie
Everything’s fine
Indifferent to loss of life, they are hardly human
Difference of opinion is, enough to conclude them
They are never lost for words, sow constant confusion
Truth is fucking meaningless, endless tide of abusion
What better for the elite, than our collective suffering
What better for dividing, than an endless propaganda machine
What’s better for society, than rank hypocrisy
What’s better for democracy than the culling of the sick and the weak

Come my demons I beckon thee
Hurtle me towards my ruin
Lay waste to monotony
Create my illusion
Plant seeds of deceit
Bring forth castigation
Suffering
Subsiding
Numbness is overtaking
Carrying, so gently
Renewed malignancy
My vision, enhanced
Can see clearly at last
I’m captured, enraptured
My vision I have mastered
Become one, my faith
Transcend this earthly state
But quickly it’s waining
They will not conquer me
It burns, it rips, it tears, I am consumed by abject terror, I feel them crawling inside me, the lesions growing everywhere
I claw I shred I fight, it’s all for their abject delight, I feel it all consuming me, there was no way I could forsee
And yet here I stand, no longer merely a man, in spite of all I gave they’ll know that I am no slave
I am no slave

Who is it, come knocking, with this incessant mocking
I laugh, I hate, I am the reprobate
A soulless wretched stain, is this all I’ll attain
What more can this life offer, maybe in death I’ll prosper
Is seeing, believing?
Have I transcended being?
Morosely, so closely
I’ve become more than holy
I slit my wrists in vein, no longer feeling pain
I plot and stew, I’m born anew, I’ll conjure up more twisted games
I demand sacrifice, to feed my avarice
Come one, come all, come large, come small
For I’ll ensure none will be missed
Step inside, come to die
Step inside, and become, one with my universe
Is seeing, believing?
Have I transcended being?
Morosely, so closely
I’ve become more than holy
The crimson tide
Nowhere to hide
The crimson tide
Run for your lives

Oozing
Charisma
Proving
Supremacy
Providing
Comfort to the lost
And all the damned
Please come and take my hand
I’ll save your filthy soul
I know what makes you whole
I am, praying
Saving
Mistakes were made but I forgive you
Your plans erased trust I can heal you
Your life, is mine, to rip and pull apart
Show you the way follow my blackened heart
Be safe be free kindly expel your worries
When you’re with me I guarantee all will be well
Now come and sit with me a spell
Accept your place with me in hell
Gather my children
Gather my aching souls
Your hate it matters not
For today I declare you all absolved
Forgive the perfidious
Forgive hypocrisy
Your sin it matters not
When you grease the palms of the clergy
Reckless, you are saved
A fine, mess you’ve made
Reckless, your path is paved
Sing along with the chorus of the enslaved
I’ll point my withered finger
Ensure no sinners will be spared
Now come and sit with me a spell
I’ll drag you all with me to hell
You think you’re righteous you are not
It all decays and turns to rot
This is your fall it’s your collapse
Yet you point your middle finger
Gather my children
Gather my aching should
Your hate it matters not
For today I declare you all absolved
Forgive the perfidious
Forgive hypocrisy
Your sin it matters not
When you grease the palms of the clergy
Reckless, you are saved
A fine, mess you’ve made
Reckless, your path is paved
Sing along with the chorus of the enslaved

Walking nightmare, lost in an infinite sea
Slowly draining, feeling nothing
Downcast and dejected, it should have been me, it should have been me
I wasn’t ready to let go, and I don’t think I ever will be
Each passing day, only, makes everything much harder
With your spark gone I don’t know if I can go on much longer
I remember the days, you were so small, but you stood so tall
I remember the days, and, it should have been me, it should have been me
Life is so hard already
The weight of the world, so heavy
Your place, upon the mantle
A phantom dissipating
It should have been me
It should have been me
A phantom dissipating
Your face, your face
It should have been me
It should have been me
You will live on in memory
Ever flickering ember
Rest now eternally
Rest now in eternal sleep
Ever flickering ember
Rest now in peace

Begrudgingly, trudging through boscage to toil in seclusion
No sin is forgiven, no evil is risen, but still I have been cast away
Prostration in vain, beating my chest as I call out his name
But it makes no difference, pernicious influence, I’ll meet my remaker today
On my knees, oblation serves to make me heard by the spirit of the trees
She suffers me, all fades to black, no coming back, I've finally been set free
Shaping the mountains, shaping the breeze
Shaping her own reality
Unnatural beauty sings to me
Grotesque forms are returning
Shaping the mountains, shaping the breeze
Shaping my new reality
Forced to endure a rebirth
Forced to become her creature
Body in ruin, rotting, decaying, dying flesh
All at her behest
Made to suffer, made to bleed, made to enjoy the agony

Someone, anyone
Could you please tell me where the hell I went wrong
It’s like I’m doomed by destiny
Just let me stew in silence, wallow in my suffering
What more would you do with me
Each passing day is so draining
What more could you do to me
Maybe it’s better if I leave
No note
No word
Nobody will miss me
No one to cry
I am nothin
The end, of I
Under the sullen moon
The path is cleared
The ritual complete
Death shall not heed
Anguish and misery
A misguided attempt to beat fate
I lie awake
Reflecting on melancholy
Incessant life, my curse, I cannot run away
How many times must I try, longing for an escape
Hollow, I’m empty, follow the cycle endlessly
Sorrow has done all to denigrate what’s left of me
I
See
Pieces
Falling
I
Am
Unhallowed
Crawling
I
See
Mortality
Fading
No honor
No recompense
For all my failings
My only wish, to die
Arrogance of youth, dissatisfied
I’m so sick of life
Tearing at the fabric of space and time
This curse can not be lifted
There is no second chance
Each day bleeds into night
I’m floating through oblivion
I begged for maledictions
To end my suffering
Maybe now I’ll desiccate
I’ll float into oblivion

Beyond The Palest Star
by VORGAsupported by 5 fans who also own “PHANTASM”
From the first riffs and notes you are entranced by the majestic power of VORGA. Beyond The Palest Star is among the best black metal albums of this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it lands at the top for a lot of fans. Get out of their way; album three will no doubt be pantheon level for the genre. The growth from the last release is quite substantial. Cosmic Judgement comes for you!

Leprous Daylight
by Fossilizationsupported by 5 fans who also own “PHANTASM”
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 😂🤣

Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite.

What a ride. Finally listened to it this morning and I can’t put it down. There’s so much of all the elements that make a great black metal band here and Krigsgrav take it to the bank in a heartbeat. So much zeal and fire! Absolutely blistering melodies.
