Mutilated corpses line these idyllic streets
Hung up by their entrails as grotesque effigies
Of power misplaced, abused, corrupted
Their wounds run with clotted blood
A gash in the abdomen removes their rotten guts
THEY CALL ME BEAST
THE MINOTAUR THAT STALKS THE NIGHT
A PRIMAL NEED
TO CEASE THE SINGING DEEP INSIDE
"KILL FOR ME"
A THOUSAND VOICES IN MY MIND
TO AVENGE MY SNUFFED OUT CANDLELIGHT
Calling card of evisceration, abdominal incision, intestinal expulsion
A single cut, dissection done by hand
Action must be taken to silence this horrid threat
Labyrinthine tunnels build ages long ago, an altar built by gods with domain of BLOOD AND BONE
Naked on cold stone and drenched with sanguine gore
He's chained up like a goat
Draped in midnight black and sigils of crimson red
Screams of helpless victims heard only by the dead
CHAINED
LIKE CATTLE
SERVE
THE CHOIR
I grab my bloodstained hammer, crushing the knees with two swift cracks
Legs inverted, can't escape my ritual, the night is only just begun.
Intestinal removal, heart, lungs, spleen, liver
Give me the life I deserve as I traverse Styx river.
Knife too slow, won't even cut, I use my mouth as I bite into their guts
Slashing, gnawing, biting, feeding, I serve my gods
I DO AS TOLD
I KILL AT WILL
FEED ON THE WEAK
I SERVE MY GODS
Remove the face
A bloody skull eternally screaming
Peel the skin, flesh fully exposed
My sharpened blade a cut straight up the abdomen
Vivisected, eviscerated, I look my victim in the eyes
Staring at his beating heart until he finally dies
A surgery with a bestial butcher draped in the constables gore
Judgment from the hands of Moloch
'Til a FLASH and the smell of gunpowder, he lies dead on the floor
"Hello, I am doctor Dorian Ingram, and I would love to study this specimen. We could learn so much from his brain, don't you think?"
Where was once a man, now a best emerges
A titan of stitched flesh, stapled bone
THE MINOTAUR RISES
Shattering glass, spilling formaldehyde
I confront the man responsible
My lips, they move not
Replaced by the rotted head of a bull
MINOTAUR
THE NAME I TAKE AS A VANGUARD OF TORTURE
I BECOME THE GOD OF PAIN
MY CHOIR
THEY SING FOR ME
"You have become something that no man has ever experienced. You are my immortal minotaur, and you will serve me as your master."
A DOOR OPENS BEFORE ME
MY KILLERS, THEY WAIT TO TAKE BACK A CORPSE
NOT KNOWING I'LL MAKE THOUSANDS MORE
Furious and expressive Symphonic Black Metal from the US. Weaving tales of gothic horror, cosmic terror, and rending the veil between this world and the next. Devotion unto death.
An absolute musickal onslaught devoted wholly to the Nine of Vedantic Nihilism. True sonic ritual. Unflinching devotion. Black Metal as it should be. Resurrectionist
Experimental, furious, and stimulating doom that moves further into the realms of looping and synthesis rather than staying in familiar territory. Resurrectionist
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
