YomaBarr Hey it's killer stuff! Raw black metal that every now and then lets itself go deathly without ceasing to be raw black metal for a second. Beauty! I mean, ugliness. And the vocals!
The lyrics are sick, too.

Christian Molenaar Powerful black metal with enough inspired songwriting twists to keep from ever becoming rote matched by a truly wild vocal performance. Favorite track: Devotion.

jerm Absolutely ridiculous how good this is. From the viciousness of the vocals all the way down to the perfectly raw production. Best album ive heard in a long time. Favorite track: Hell.

Collapse 07:14
to the wretched ones of babylon behold we have risen to the arrogant ones be afraid for it’s not the work not the reign nor the flame gaunt robed shadow that swallowed the sky to rape the word black coven a bright white zealot shuttered within lay them right writhing prey upon the one they want bright white father that swallows the sky murderer a bright white father the prophet anew only the willing or the wanted getting through a warning for the favored obey the wonder the logic’s like dying bright white like father but crying strike through the white flame for the arc of agony seven heads seven messages utter decay while I rot right here not anymore and the paths on earth will lay wasted while you plead to the infinite sky truth will overturn the lies of man when the arrogant kings do die.

Abyss 05:38
one last dying breathe futile belch putrid fire a new age of darkness the end of all black cloaked wings crush his bones to dust man washed away all senses lost black hole fresh graves so cold unholy scriptures foretold moving through the abyss I see myself crawling on my knees moving through the abyss I feel there is nothing to live for
3.
Ascension 04:33
along the darkest waters no one sees me waving drowning in the nightmare coughing up my life I am utter blackness dying like the painting calling out to no one beauty mimics death I manifest my torment a severe consideration shrouded in the nightmare as it hangs above the gallows I end the illusion throw me back to mother writhing while the waves work cleverly and tether me In my mind I hold you I cling to your throat and drag us back to the truth to what we’ve become nothing reveling in illusion crumble and make a corrupt birth killing days now that time is under the darkest waters dragging it down we are now slowly going clockwork face upon the dark place thrown away while I ascend into nothing
4.
Dust 04:05
totality drawn into sins wounds you give into configure the rigor for it makes me pure and in the end I discover there’s nothing more no framework no sound engulfed in night air my mind is cold crying outward for one in all wept for what for lonesome dust totality drawn into sins wounds you give into configure the rigor for it makes me pure and in the end I discover there’s nothing more no framework no sound why feel the choke again engage the flame for me wept for what for lonesome dust I am a slave to that grave I bring the folds toward center I am a slave to that grave I want the world insane crushed life can’t come undone cry out from underground there is no dying for a god
5.
Winter Tomb 03:41
you can see me in the shadows lurking all alone you think you see right through my eyes welcome to the tomb where you meet your doom suicide is always there for me
6.
Hell 04:19
true release death to perception death to heart conquer the mind initiate the trap dark plain silent and clean ancient faith know that hell is here without time to bind us dying tribes stabbing at the light here to possess the night great temples add them to the pile cleanse the host take the crown true release make us writhe take us there true defeat without meaning become complete sacred fathers add them to the pile drag us down hell is here let them know hell is here
7.
Sins 04:16
my sacred I take you tonight toward the center we go, toward the no light you witness my power you witness my hate rejoice this great fate dark brethren sister o’ sister make you my wonder make you my witness take you down with me make you my grave my sacred I take you tonight toward the center we go toward the no light you witness my power you witness my hate rejoice this great fate dark brethren sister o’ sister make you my wonder make you my willing take you down with me I take your honor I will not waver I am present I will wound I stand by you I revel in you I become you I wander in you I am you

Devotion 11:38
from a distance your eyes are lovely manic persistence your hands are filthy glory high glory so sincere so devout render it useless you bleed out starve for days darling your with me I ache for the taste great dark devotion glory high glory so sincere so devout render it useless you bleed out in the night with you sleeping those cardboard eyes of all those empty nights all those empty nights float and go blind burning up changing around you like redeemed idealists drawn to things they’ve yearned to be you bite the flesh you eat the living and when you die I’ll be there waiting in agony crush life with hands all those empty nights float and go blind changing from a distance your dead eyes so lovely glory high glory so sincere so devout you render it useless you bleed out starve for days I ache for the taste great dark devotion
