i watch them die
every last one
falls
before my eyes
generations dawn
lifetimes pass by
kingdoms
crumble into dust
merciless the years
claim their victims
despair
inescapable
here i remain
this ageless consciousness
forlorn
with naught but time and loss
death
comes for them all
as it came for me
aeons
spent grieving
the end inevitable

drifting
through time
bereft
alone
withdrawn
from life
cut off
erased
lingering soul
decrepit
hateful wraith
broods
detached in
dispassion
watching with
disdain
never again
to taste of their pleasures
malicious resentment
for all that lives
foul non-existence
a mockery of life
devoid of joy
in cold emptiness

summoned
from the grave
creeping nameless shape
stalking
compelled
who is this who is coming
torturous
confusion
paralyzing fear
scrambling
futility
the unknown horror invades

centuries of horror
08:31

|
screams that echo through the ages
barbaric torture boundless cruelty
tainted by blood
the walls remember
misery trapped in stone
eternal suffering
centuries of horror
unending agony
shackled
imprisoned
afterlife
torment
beyond death

upon dark shores
08:58
|

|
shadows chiselled
upon dark shores
beneath the cold light
of an enfeebled moon
vast lonely foreboding
eternal waters stir
secrets withheld
in chilling sombre depths
thunderous waves crash
through dismal obscurity
storming with menace
the dark skies beckon
umbrous figures emerge
looming cryptic blank
in horrendous
majesty

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 29 fans who also own “dread”
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!

Very late to the party, but for several years I've found melodic black metal all too similar and all albums sounding like Dissection, etc... HOWEVER, not only I am back into it but UADA is still a layer of complexity above the main baseline and this is an old album worth having, that's a basic milestone in UADA's discography and I felt it needed to be part of my BC collection.

For those of use whose attention span isn't what it was for ambient and who need something more narrative than noise, there is the sub-genre of atmospheric black metal that I'm inclined to call "monolithic". Paysage d'Hiver might be the archetypal example. But if you just want to be consumed by a relentless wall of beautiful air pressure, this is ideal.

Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur
supported by 24 fans who also own “dread”
After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful.
