lexie Nightmarish, twisted gods ooze out from the abyss. Will they torment, or bless us? Favorite track: Epiphany.of.the.ancient.power.

Grzegorz Mirek Utwory miażdżą jak koparka wykopująca wrzącą miasme, która wydziela miazmatyczne
fale astralne rzucające się jak podekscytowany KADUK w trakcie chędożenia pustki i chaosu ludzkiego umysłu .
W każdym bądź razie ,
demo niezwykłe Favorite track: The.shores.at.the.ire.of.their.subconscious.slumber.

1.	The.shores.at.the.ire.of.their.subconscious.slumber 11:10	lyrics
Born from the ice of existence Brought to the shores of their slumber Provoke the fury of the gods Be drowned in a dried out ocean of their ire -------------------------------------------------------- Concealed to be the one To pierce the hecatomb Of illusions and nightmares With a unifying bloodred fire. -------------------------------------------------------- Within the scorn of gravity to unexplainable deviations From their wombs sheer bearing Of the despicable progeny of nightmares. -------------------------------------------------------- Fourth dimension opens a path Leading to the 1919 teeth jaws vulturing in a chasm Of immortal stone giants They stay out of time They breed with mountains Begotten shoggoths of the cosmic well. -------------------------------------------------------- Upraised to the shores Of unleashed ire You break into their subconscious slumber. -------------------------------------------------------- Mutilated bones Of the perished ones Will be their guardian in their subconscious slumber. -------------------------------------------------------- ("Poetry and the Gods" by H.P.Lovecraft and A.H.Crofts) In thy yearning hast thou divined what no mortal else, saving only a few whom the world rejects, remembereth; that the Gods were never dead, but only sleeping the sleep and dreaming the dreams of Gods in lotos-filled Hesperian gardens beyond the golden sunset. And now draweth nigh the time of their awaking, when coldness and ugliness shall perish, and Zeus sit once more on Olympus. Already the sea about Paphos trembleth into a foam which only ancient skies have looked on before, and at night on Helicon the shepherds hear strange murmurings and half-remembered notes. Woods and fields are tremulous at twilight with the shimmering of white saltant forms, and immemorial Ocean yields up curious sights beneath thin moons. The Gods are patient, and have slept long, but neither man nor giant shall defy the Gods forever. ---------------------------------------------------------
2.	Of.dreadful.wounds.and.leniency.of.the.sun 07:04	lyrics
-------------------------------------------------------- Oh, Hvare-khshaeta! (radiant sun - avestan language, Zoroastrianism) Hail to your fiery appearance Our mightiest and long living god Scorch the enemies of yours But have a mercy on my wounds. -------------------------------------------------------- Blasphemy condemned Eternal sin Blood sacrifice To the glory of an immortal one. -------------------------------------------------------- Luscious taste of sacrificial blood Crams the maws of the unappeasable -------------------------------------------------------- Scavenging corpses around the pyramids Blistering sun, oh, scorch those heavy wounds! Transmute those carcasses into the nourishment for Asha! -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- Oh, Hvare-khshaeta! Dreadful fate you cast upon me! With a million of eyes you watch me fall To the rays of your everlasting shine. -------------------------------------------------------- Expel the servants of yours! Wage war on evil goers! Immolate the infidels! -------------------------------------------------------- Gobs of sacrificial blood Fill up the mouths of insatiable beasts -------------------------------------------------------- The desert is covered in bones The pyramids withstand the cadaver ocean The ray of blood light appears in the epicenter Oh, Hvare-khshaeta! Condemn the doing of Angra Mainyu! The most destructive of forces But he is a powerless one without a time. -------------------------------------------------------- Desecration Profanation Idolatrous thoughts Sacrilegious Impious Lurking worm in darkness of our thoughts and wrongdoings. -------------------------------------------------------- He shall perish at the end! --------------------------------------------------------
3.	Into.the.sempervirent.garden.of.flesh 10:13	lyrics
-------------------------------------------------------- The black shroud the body is wrapped into. The green leaves will be my skin until the end of existence -------------------------------------------------------- Oh, Holy Zarathushtra! If one bears with purity for the fire the Aesma of the plant Vohukereti, the fire of Ahura-Mazda goes to fight a thousand times against the invisible evil daevas in all the directions in which the wind spreads the fragrance of the fire. --------------------------------------------------------- Corpse-bearers will bring it to the vault Before Nasu Daeva will enter it, all of them barefeet Corpses of men Corpses of women Corpses of children --------------------------------------------------------- Tower of Silence Vultures strip the bodies of their flesh and bad deeds Putrefaction Insects and vultures, they act together --------------------------------------------------------- Fire-temple Purifying fire Altar Innermost sanctum --------------------------------------------------------- One's body is becoming trees The one's deeds become their leafs Purified by fire and the mills of gods Another human enters the garden An epitome of evergreen and omnipresent --------------------------------------------------------- Lime caustic disintegration Washed away by rains. Astodan! (ossuary) Washed away into the sea --------------------------------------------------------- Nasu (avestan name of female demon of corpse matter) Sagdid (glance of the dog in funeral ceremony Zoroastrianism) Gannag menog (The stinking spirit) Uta (entity, who brings sickness through food and water) Vizaresh (entity that fights for the souls of the dead) Ashmog (entity created by sin of apostasy) Mitokht (entity created by sin of scepticism and falsehood)

about

Mystical fusion of death metal, doom metal, eastern influences, manic vocal lines and throat singing all laced with stories about Towers of Silence in Zoroastrian religion, made for excarnation purposes, similar to "sky-burial" in Far-East traditions. "Slowly grinding are the mills of gods" is exactly what happens in the Towers of Silence.

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
