What fearsome beast awakes again to stalk this harrowed earth?
What thing beyond imagination, sloughing skin in timeless rebirth?
The dread of the new day, the threat of the last,
a fever dream breathing, the future aghast
The living lament of power misspent on history's profoundly shameful regrets
The brazen sycophants, the spineless drones emerge
To sway in craven veneration, drawn to its pure vacuous dirge
Somehow faith strains to nourish the garden that logic denies
In fealty to the madness that consumes the world and never truly dies
Against the wall, pushed to the ground, forced to a cell
Into a crate, into the flames, cast down to hell
A crumpled husk to feed the worms that feed the earth
That never cared, that could not stop the thing it grew
Tremble under the weight of the lurid contempt
For imagined slights against petty tyrants
and their tragic recompense
Against the wall, pushed to the ground, forced to a cell
Into a crate, into the flames, cast down to hell
A crumpled husk to feed the worms that feed the earth
That never cared, that could not stop the thing it grew
Joyous in conflict
Nourished by fear
The beat of an ancient drum
Legacies of human frailty
Carrion tragedy
Vultures of loss
A swarm for the sadness
Devours worlds in lucid horror
March of oppression finds gleeful embrace
Gluttonous masses
Gorge themselves on human failures
Drink the very marrow
From their bones
It comes again
Fresh chaos greets the dawn
You never see from where it comes
A defeated sun groans to its post
To weep away an endless day
Against the wall, pushed to the ground, forced to a cell
Into a crate, into the flames, cast down to hell
A crumpled husk to walk the earth
That dares not stop the things it grew
It comes again
It comes again
Mourn for the living
It comes again
It comes again
It comes again
Mourn for the living
It comes again

“Rise now, ye faithful!
Witness these auspicious signs
The riotous winds blow with terrible greatness
And sovereign purpose illuminates the grand design!
Behold clamoring chaos
Ripe for rapture, the multitudes await
Your leaden devotion
A boot to quake the earth,
a fist to wield the weapons of fate"
Scavenger prophets
These foul vultures of loss
Proudly aloft in their ill-gotten sky
A swarming starving cloud
The holy vermin
Desperate for burden
and flush with demagogue urge
The righteous impious
They see themselves as kings
Reap the spoils from the tributary herds
And unto a ripe world
Hiss the word of god
“Resurrect the esoteric words”
Liars tongue
Benighted reason
“A fist against the weakness of the world”
Coward strength
Desperate urges
“Arise! Arise! to meet a golden day!”
Mass affliction
Joyous rage, the work is never done
Scavengers, vultures of loss
Victims of their own invective
Lives turned kindling for the flame
The noble work is never-ending
Lest their prayers will not be heard
For every silent fear there crawls a shadow
born from where no joy abounds
and time becomes a shrill
reminder of a frail existence
Not bound by memories
but measured by the deepest sorrow
Wither hope and rise reborn
A vessel of the damned to claim the world
A just doom for a savage season
Cruel their purpose, cruel their death
A just doom for a savage season
Cruel their purpose, cruel their death
Glorious freedom, the hate lives forever
A just doom for a savage season
From the depths of loss something worse appears
Cruel its purpose, cruel its death
Glorious freedom, the hate lives forever
A just doom for a savage season
From the depths of loss something worse appears
Cruel its purpose, cruel its death

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder

All That Has Never Been True

One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy.
