Night crashes to a fall
Moonlight permeates the clouds
Glistening off the frost
Tossing oblong shadows
Where I walk while the wind wails
in lamentation
A dirge for September
Beneath the yawning October sky
November has rendered these mountains
pale and lifeless
Dead monoliths looming over the
icy landscape
the snow swallows sound then defecates silence
as it collects
out side of our dwellings
Where life has become frozen
out side of our dwellings
While the rest of the world burns
Here now I stand
Upon shaken ground
Under the Bloodmoon
with my arms thrown wide open
Embracing the solstice sky
Where I will catch the stars that fall
And challenge the opening of the scroll
In the dead December night
Black and cold
I have watched the stars fall
And the Bloodmoon has drained pale
I will return to my home
Where I will sleep
Tomorrow awake
Trapped in this world
In this time
Where life
has become frozen
While the rest of the world burns
Gravenchalice takes a triumphant and complex sound and mixes it with classic Black Metal melodies and thundering drums that just works so well. This sound has been big since DSO became popular, however it doesn't take the dissonance and instead layers everything to make everything nice and beefy while having a great sense of melody. A great EP. 4/5 ClassyMusicSnob
This wild 35-track all-metal benefit album features Mare Cognitum, Panopticon, and more reinventing songs by Tori Amos & others. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 3, 2020
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
