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

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
