lyrics
Where five rivers run
Into an abyss of perdition
Souls flow forever downstream
The tongue bears a coin
Payment for a final journey
Towards the realm of Hades
Acheron of sorrow
Cocytus of lamentation
Phlegethon of fire
Lethe’s oblivion, hate of the Styx
Descending into Tartarus
Great dungeon of torment
Primordial entity
Nine days below the Earth
Sisyphus the guest-slayer
Incestuous seducer
Trapped Thanatos in his own chains
Death on Earth was stalled
Threatened to submission
Amidst improper burial
Punished in eternity
Struggling up mountain paths
Straining at a boulder
Eternal frustration
Suffering in the depths
With no friend to hear their cries
Bound and strapped to the rocks
As vultures feast inside
Tantalized by hanging fruit
Pure water recedes with thirst
Lashed on a burning wheel
Misery for all time
Mysteries of godly justice
Meted out eternally
Titans banished and trapped
A void that breathes and never dies
Tartarus for incurable sinners
Destined to rot in cognizance
Shades of heroes wander despondent
In greying fields of listless Asphodel
Isle of blessed Elysium
Where the good of heart will dwell
Hecate stands at the crossroads
Where three roads diverge
Drink of Lethe all ye deceased
And erase all knowledge of life
Traipse your way to the crossroad
Where three roads diverge

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
Featuring members of Noothgrush, Graves at Sea, and more, the Oakland metal band juxtapose cavernous doom with spaced-out shoegaze. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2024
