lyrics
From the Titan of the sea
Of massive limb and strength
Polyphemus the Cyclops
Enemy of men
Landed here from merciless ocean
On the rocky shore we crawled
Starved and thirsting, grown haggard
Our journey never ends
A dim cave espied
A refuge from the blazing sun
Victuals and water
To sustain our weariness
Great shadow filled the door
A beast of human form
Single staring eye in his forehead
With crashing step he strode
Striking terror in brave hearts
Heaved a boulder across the cave
And devoured two comrades
The sound of crunching bone
Blood spurting from mouths
Macerated features
Inhospitable cannibal
Each night kept prisoner
Each day the fear of being eaten alive
Polyphemus the Cyclops
Devourer of men
Human stench filled the cave
Polyphemus the Cyclops
Devourer of men
The slop of organs in the dirt
Beaten asleep by fumes of wine
In pool of putrid blood he slumbered
Fire-hardened stake our ploy
Ten men to lift the weapon
And in the night as he slept
Plunged into his awful eye
The great monster roared in pain
Sightless with dark foaming blood
Thrashing out with rage
Bellowing to the mountains:
“I am Polyphemus who you blind
Son of Poseidon the Titan
By all my force and strength
I will be your death”
In mortal fear we cowered
The longest night in that cave of rotten blood
When daylight dawned pale
The blinded Cyclops arose
In agony counted precious rams
As they passed the cave mouth
Seething with humiliation
Yet seeing not the truth
Of every man passing him
Concealed beneath the rams
Sought the cruel ocean again
And casting off from shore
Cast a yell upon the wind:
“We are the legend who took revenge
On the devourer of men”
With inhuman strength
He hurled a boulder and roared:
“Polyphemus, son of Poseidon
Lays a curse on thee”

Bloody hell the vocals here are absolutely majestic; supremely dynamic with loads of variance in style while maintaining a visceral brutality. The atmospheric elements are gracefully and artfully intertwined but make no mistake, this is ruthless black metal first and foremost. Band synergy is also stunning and can be felt through my speakers; everything is just so masterfully packaged together. Faith

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke
