1. |
Stygian River
04:02
|
|||
|
The sickening hubris
The flaccid lech
The eruption of boils
Ingest disease
Corrupting filth
Wash over the fora
Gather the corpses
Pile them high
Nor will they return
The fallen beloved
Draped in soiled,
Filth-encaked sheets
But to always remain
Ethereal and suspended
Wandering the coast
Of a Stygian river
Soft grays of nothingness
Absconded essence
Abandoned thoughts
Evaporate into horrid dreams
|
||||
2. |
Worms of the Solar Plane
03:12
|
|||
|
Light will never outlast
The reign of absence
Worms of the solar plane
Away it all is
A lust for it transfixes
And makes black
A nearsighted fool
Lost the ground
What scourge we brought
Let it end here
Let us end here
|
||||
3. |
Cheshire Cat
03:42
|
|||
|
Complete falsehood
Total whole cloth
A Cheshire cat without the grin
Existing in realms far from sunlight
The putridity within
Boiled out eyes
Horrid slash
Burning ember
Effluviating fields of offal
Jesus wept
Recycled meat
Fading cinder
Shelled out hole
Broken land
Fucking lie
Burning heart
|
||||
4. |
March to Nether
04:35
|
|||
|
I fell off the planet
Into nothing where our souls lie
Where they go
Chasing ether and futility
Worship the void
Worship no thing
Nothing here or there
Cease
I'll just fade away
Bodies for meat
Meat for minds
Minds for pain
Pain for naught
|
||||
5. |
Shit Nightmare
04:33
|
|||
|
Urine is the fuel
Shit nightmare
You don't know me
You don't live here
You drop the bucket
You flip the switch
I keep running
I never get away
Hunger finds me
The lights go out
I never should have come this far
|
||||
6. |
||||
|
To sin without death
To walk within the fire
To pass unharmed through the fire
I baptized my blood
Through Pt Satanachia
Through lurid dreams
Symphonies of dark
Through burning fires lit at night
My passion (brighter than a thousand candles)
The fat cherubim
Dipped in poison
A feast to ensnare your heart
|
||||
7. |
Gray Hole
03:12
|
|||
|
A gray whole compressed
The will in a straight jacket
To slay the unchained thought
Remain within
Contain this tumor
To seal all shame
Build in mass
Not volume
Haemorrage
Degenerate
To be set free
I will be
Ruptured shell
Cancer flows
|
||||
8. |
Acedia
03:27
|
|||
|
Lack of all things
No concern for
No concern
Recycled drone
Will not care
Petrified
Can not care
Will is dissolved
An altar ensrined
This temple sealed
No ingress no egress
A constant regress
Recursion
Of a call to deny
Burial
At acedian grounds
|
||||
9. |
The Crucified
04:03
|
|||
|
Describe your pain
I drink to death
Luxurious waves of vomit
I never condescend to acknowledge
I go on with life
The crucified
By the thousands
Every day
Lavish nails
So that they know how to behave
It's all they understand
|
||||
10. |
All Is Insane
04:44
|
|||
|
Toothless mark
Gnaw
Erupting boils
Pus
Malformed larvae
The oubliette
From birth to death
Insane from the beginning
Dirt rancid with tears
Just me and the cries
Of the helpless impaled
All is insane
I somehow stay alive
Yet dead
I forget in the vague
My face has no feature
I'm never quite real

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williams
supported by 5 fans who also own “Damnatio Memoriae”
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years.

Polygondwanaland
by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
supported by 5 fans who also own “Damnatio Memoriae”
I got the CD. I got the vinyl. Since I am a minimalist, I've bought the digital version.
go to album
Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact.

Nel Nome Del Codice
by KEYGEN CHURCH
The eerie grandeur of horror film pipe organ music gets an industrial lift on the latest killer from Keygen Church.
