lyrics
For I have bathed in ash, and I have ridden across the seas
For I have walked the sands of time and I have watched them fall
Falling from the hourglass... as I fell, as I stumbled, as I gazed upon Man
My reflection now echoing my pain, these scars are written,
Am I the enemy to reign? Rid me of these fibers, I can't delay
The elements heard of the reckoning too late
To squash the souls of every being, lament
I stared up at the weeping vaults of Heaven,
Seeing the Hanged Man, Cast down in a deathlike fever
The Sun illuminating his wounds,
Set adrift in the catacombs of the livid Tower
I crawled through the orchard of God,
covered in blood and drowning in scoria to make my ascension
Devouring the roots & bones of serpents
I watched the desecration of His temple,
With this palimpsest it comes to pass
...and dredge through these shallow murky waters, I am נָפַל, I am reborn! The harvest dawns and I gaze through the dust of angels into the grim abyss
There in the light of midnight, candles lit
a temple stands and the morning star shines
Behold I hold the key of the seven gates!
Adorned with Irkallian winds!
O beguiling, perilous star of the morning! darken my harrowed plea!
To illume the path so dark and devour the empty!
At the end, when nothing else remains
A temple stands and a fire burns! …and the morning star shines
At the end, when nothing else remains
A temple will stand and a fire burn! …and the morning star shines
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 22, 2020
one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you. Sælzer Bub
