great god of grief

as if we weren't already trying to compensate
the ruin we brought upon others.
as if we weren't convinced that our lives
bear nothing more than this carnal prison.
great god of grief. a light drifting to me.
release the grip. before you bare my shame.
this was condemned to fail.
this was already mapped out.
grave consequence adorned with doubt.
as if we weren’t considering our cruelties
pulling the flesh towards putrid sin
as if we weren't residing in the depths
where great beasts sleep carrying our misdeeds
great god of grief. a light drifting to me.
release the grip. before you bare my shame.
this was condemned to fail.
this was already mapped out.
grave consequence adorned with doubt.
now i see that we are excellent in our ferociousness
blinded with our own defects.
still they are conspicious like lightning in stormlit nights.
wearily wandering the sombre path to avert the burning sun
of haunting the hearts of the worthless.
of dwelling on lost memories
of waiting for the silence
of repelling the unalterable truth
of that there is no doubt that we are the greatest disappointment
that ever has shone upon this world.

dawn of new despair
07:45
|
|||
|
with the eyes down and the abyss in sight
fulfill the draining of an unmoving spirit
firmly rooted in the belief we are born to be slain
the irony of pain
with authentic hate comes
the entire spectrum of pain to invoke repudiated faith
a new chapel of diseased hope has been built
and another night begins
the irony of pain
with the hazard of winged confidence
none shall turn against one
a lecherous trial to decide what will become
to shatter the mirror
the irony of pain
now with inbred faith thou shall stare
into the face of god
now in fire thou shall see the world
the vessel that is your body can only be broken by light
and there is no light that can break your spirit
the hills are burning
and there is no light that can break your spirit
the hearts are burning
heed the warning, when only the tomb awaits
a new dawn of despair as desperate as yourself
feel, succumb, devour and rejoice

Towards The Tomb Of Times
by NAXEN
supported by 26 fans who also own “to abide in ancient abysses”
Naxen is a German trio playing classic "Norwegian" style BM with doom passages, which in my opinion adds a twist to the oh-so-stomped-chosen-path of the so-called 2nd wave black metal horde. It's almost too slow at times for me, but I can really appreciate the technical prowess from these relatively new guys. The second part, I agree, is where they really stand out! Weiter so!

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.

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
