lyrics
Breaking through walls of time
Past, present and future unite
Reborn in the sign, inflamed in new light
Breaking the chains of life
Self and surrounding world reunite
Reborn in the sign we arise
In deepest darkness, aeons ago
A blaze in the sky and below ground
Venerated symbol of life and of hope
The very beginning of the cult unbroken
Crooked horns, solid body, head-high
Strong hooves, tail, a glint in the eyes
Giver of life, yoke bearer of the stars
Finally unchained, hunted becomes hunter
Hear us, we call, invocate, we await you
Animate your eager vessels, control our fate
In the early days lust for life was born
With the powerful appearance of the horned one
Soon the beast became part of veneration
Cult, symbol, sign – primeval revelation
Shortly afterwards man alienate
From the beast tamed in terms of false morality
Fought and forced him and themselves under the yoke
Blood on the altar of “civility” in vogue
Regenerate the primeval cult, symbol, reborn in the sign
We renovate life, desires and drives, spirits revive
Crooked horns, solid body, head-high
Strong hooves, tail, a glint in the eyes
Giver of life, yoke bearer of the stars
Finally unchained, hunted becomes hunter
Breaking through walls of time
Past, present and future unite
Reborn in the sign, inflamed in new light
Breaking the chains of life
Self and surrounding world reunite
Reborn in the sign we arise

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!

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.
