Hollow Victory

Eyes grow dim as the essence wanes
Crimson stains the wood
What becomes of the heathen?
Ashes mixed with blood
Not our ways, suffer him
Foaming mouth of hate
Sharpened steel, madness
Bloodlust shall be slaked
A Hollow Victory x 2
Strength, will, fevered pitch
Found the blade death knell
Relieved of vital constituencies
Relegated to their hell
Scorched earth policy
No life before me
Fatal viscera from the flank
Rage keeps their blood flowing
A Hollow Victory x 2
The battle is won, the war is lost
Took everything I know
I close my eyes and disappear
Like these footsteps in the snow
A Hollow Victory x 3

Cave of Forgotten Dreams

Cry out
Cave echoed plea
Dreams of men
Lived and died here
Long forgotten ghost
of humble origins
Pretending trancendance
Just a wretched beast
Ancient past
Stars denied
Forgotten Dreams
Forgotten Dreams
Cold void
Mirrors my regret
Uncovered nihilism
See the dark heart
Reclaimed
Black reaping
In death I am nothing
I was nothing when I lived
Wicked past
Stars denied
Forgotten Dreams
Forgotten Dreams

Torches sway in darkness
Ascending mountainside
Tangible Anticipation
Heralds the Dionysus Gait
Throbbing, quickening heart
Bound, hand and foot
The pipers song of death
An elegant recital
Whereupon dark encampments
Spirit escapes the flesh
Dance to the flame
Weakened corporeal state
Wine poured to the ground
Possessed by the unnatural
Lost in mystic visions
Kantharos
Kan-thar-ros
Kantharos raised above me
My consciousness returns
Beside me raised a tattered flag
Dionysus has sealed this stave
Kan-thar-ros
Surrounded by faceless persona
Knelt before me the elder one
Awarded am I the Thyrsos
Encapsulated by the Gods

The Cloak of Sorrows
10:09
|
|||
|
Journey to a realm of loss
Souls chained by hate
Malicious spirit possessed
Wretched dark artifice
Feel the Cloak calling
Promise of reward
I Accept your terms
Fill my heart with blight
Demons
Claw inside my skull
A contract signed in bile
Can never be unmade
The cost was great
Gained power indeed
Lost the touch of empathy
Now consume all life
Demons
Claw inside my skull
A contract signed in bile
Can never be unmade
Clouds red in my wake
Death is my gift
Silent sigh, turn from the world

The Age of Men is Over
by Feminazgul
Funny name on the outside, cool lo-fi synth based black metal soundscapes on the inside. Pretty neat trick.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 12 fans who also own “Last Rites for a Generation”
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!
