Rift of Imperium

Cracks in the Earth form beneath the foundation
The skeleton of our home withers and becomes hollow
Wicked minds look longingly at a dying world
Thirst shall not be satiated until the last legs buckle
Look into the sky, frantically pining for stars long gone
O, raindrops that once soothed the skin now leave it burnt and scarred
Screams tear the lining of a throat that once sang praise
Eyes that once burned bright with love now see reality
Feel the flames at your heels
As conquest takes what remains
We have nowhere left to turn
We have been left and forgotten
Abandon hope and don the mantle of rage
The gluttons will watch us writhe and succumb
to their will long before they speak of a future
Clutch their heads in your hands and feel the tides turn
As if the swing of a blade could alter the voyage of the moon
Rifts of imperium prey on the dormant
The gallows wait for none when hands are left idle

Gaze Upon the Barren

Desolation comes with warning
It shows no mercy to the flesh
Those with eyes veiled and hands over ears
Ghastly beings that beg for salvation
Sinners in the hands of a vile god
Plains of permafrost
Brought by a sky with no sun
Feel the frozen pebbles of soil
On chapped flesh beneath your feet
Cold winds turn fearful eyes to crystal
Hands turn black against its blaze
Rolling hills from a time long gone
Reduced to foliage that bleeds white
Stare into the vast empty lands
Lands that gave life to all and more
And feel your tears turn to ice
Memories of a force that came and went
Carried by burning winds
The whistle of an arrow followed
By the chant of death soon to come
The embers of a home laid to rest
Forgotten and sealed within the earth
Remnants unfound lay sound within the dirt
Artifacts of a land once loved
Desolation came and conquered
It’s warnings unheeded and lost
Flesh turns black against endless winds
Hairs shatter and marrow turns to stone
Innocence is only met with punishment here
Feel the lands take you in
As you form with the mass
Remembrance means nothing to the wind
Dust and ice pass over you as you succumb
Wondering what the suns warmth must’ve felt like
The last vision to pass through frozen eyes
Stand before this final moment
Dust and ice pass over as you succumb
Wondering what the suns warmth must’ve felt like
Desolation came and conquered
It’s warnings unheeded and lost
Flesh turns black against endless winds
Hairs shatter and marrow turns to stone
Innocence is only met with punishment here
Feel the lands take you in
Gaze upon the barren
Gaze upon the barren (x2)

Crá Tulsa, Oklahoma
From the greying plains and urban decay of Oklahoma comes Crá, a vortex of mind-tearing blackness and
abhorrence.
Formed by past and present members of Hersker, Magazu, and Horde Casket, Crá brings forth a feeling of cold rage and hatred through burning melodic darkness.

At the end of the year I usually make an album of the year list. In 2023 I made an expection and included demos, solely because of this masterpiece. This is ice cold, raw, beautiful black metal of the highest order, with great atmosphere and some amazing guitar melodies throughout. I absolutely adore it.

Heksen & Geesten van Brabant alone couldn't quench my thirst for raw and epic atmospheric black metal, so Valkengebed immediately had to follow! Just like its successor, this is bursting with infectious melodies, sophisticated and addictive atmosphere galore, and - again, just like its successor - everything has meaning and raison d'être! H. neither loses himself in the vast expanse of atmospheric nor the overly raucous and rancid sound of raw black metal, thus striking a perfect balance. Store!

Sludgy, progressive death metal from a Denver band with a fondness for blackened guitars, Lovecraftian imagery, and all-around nastiness.
