lyrics
Mardyakhor
In ancient times had given birth
Great Man Eater
From the deepest bowels of the Earth
Great Man Eater
None more fearsome than the Manticore.
Spits poison blood and stops men's hearts.
Face of human being
A triple row full of teeth
Lion's Blood-red body
With a voice that rips
Mardyakhor - Mardyakhor
Tail whipping, toxic darts
Great Man Eater
A hybrid of scorpion with man
Great Man Eater
Trailing the pungent smell of decay
Great Man Eater
Terrifying Persian Beast
Great Man Eater
None more fearsome than the Manticore.
Spits poison blood and stops men's hearts.
Faster than a thousand winds
yearning for human bones
Trumpet voiced, with eagle wings
So fearless
Mardyakhor – Mardyakhor
Horrid roars
Strong and tall
pierced by bows
Fearsome!
Hermetic broods
Ghastly wounds
Guardian of catafalques
Manticore!
With blood of goats
and blood of steers
bound with cords
Monstrous Schism
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
