Maliciously sown by a treacherous enemy
These thorns were not planted by a hand of god
Intended to pierce the sinners' conscience
Lucifer!
Cursed is the earth
In thy work
Lucifer!
Thorns shall bring it forth to thee
Impressed in the foreheads of sinners

Rite of Recalling

In anticipation of this summer solstice
Ritual bath to consecrate the opfer
Long march to the site by the full moon's light
Twilight brings the sinister tradition
Burning incense as they circle anti-clockwise
Kisses on the cheek before this gruesome slaughter
Candles blaze upon this tetrahedron altar
As the congregates intone this infernal chant...
Agios o Satanas
Agios o Baphomet
Take this oath, we will walk at night
To the sacred stones when the stars are right
Slit the throat, drain the prince of life
To usher in a new aeon of...
Acausal supremacy (x2)
A nexion between two continuums
To see past this matrix of illusion
Archetypal keys embedded in the Star Game
To ascend the seven spheres of the Tree of Wyrd

Apotheosis

Casting light into the dark, become a living god
Sacrifice yourself to self and manifest your Will
Conduit of the divine, embody the daemon
Adversary in pursuit of true ascendancy
Xeper
Lilith!
Consort of the king of lies, the archetype of change
Qayin!
Firstborn of the witch blood, complete this trinity
Bringing to visible form
Sulfur, the breath of it
Break wide the gates of hell
Temple of Ahriman
Infernal incarnate
Knowledge and communion
Theophany in the flesh
Reaffirm your position amongst the crown princes
Reject dissolution into the cosmic void
Tiamat!
Evoke the dragon, watch its jaws rend christians limb from limb
Leviathan!
Plunge the depths of the unconscious, encircled in thy coils

Carnal and earthly
Embrace the beast within
Deny not the pleasures
Of fleshy existence
Graven and beholden
Taboo and forbidden in every tongue
Born of desire
Reject morality
Bound not by dogma
Ecclesiastical
Against the foundation
Poison to enslaved minds, anathema
Rex Mundi, king of the world
Servitor to no one
Shunning the myths and legends
Of the prophets of Abraham
Fallen angel, cast down from heaven
Usurper of the throne
Inciting rebellion
Against the tyrant of creation
Ave Lucifer, hail thyself
Better that you reign than to serve

Pagan North
03:59

Blood spilt on ashen snow, genocide
A clash of steel to usher in this grim demise
Near erasure, driven to hide underground
Dark traditions preserved through forbidden rites
Dominus Satanus
Black burns the flame
Luciferi Excelsi
Glory to the most high
Spit on the Torah, tear down the cross
Smash the crescent moon, desecrate all
Stones cast at Moses, nails for your Christ
Death unto Allah, unholy jihad
Destroy your idols
Pound them down into dust
Leave no remains
Purge this filth from the earth
Escape the bondage, set yourself free
Break the shackles of slave mentality
As I stare at this frozen tundra
Reflecting on where I am from
We are not of your kind
To break away and start anew
Pagan north! (x2)

Primal urges thought to be extinct
Wolven hunger with no relief
Lycan!
Frightful image of lunacy
Observe the cryptid inside of you
Transmogrification of organic matter
To set in motion this animal cycle
Hideous rapture of carnal desires
To finally make a beast of man
Feel the hair on your back bristle
Muscle and tendons, sinew and bone
Changing with shape to presence the unknown
Lycan!
Teeth turn to fangs, nails become claws
Killing what's human to birth a monster
Seven trumpets and seven seals
A harbinger of the apocalypse of self
Senses enhanced and conscious denied
To make complete this bestial plight
Soil under feet sifting with the call
Muscle and tendons, sinew and bone
Changing with shape to presence the unknown
Lycan!
Morbid and perverse, a sight to abhor
The thing that which should not be
An aberration of zoology
To laugh in the face of god
Curse of the lycanthrope! (x2)

Procession of the Aeons
04:54

The dawning of a new age is here
Remembering what has been lost
The knowledge of centuries so long ago
Rediscovered once again
Rise up from the ashes as a phoenix
The cinders since have been cast
Ignorance brushed away and shaken off
Only to return... The ashes will return!
World decay, plunged into darkness
Cycle of death and rebirth
Man astray, lost in confusion
Waiting to relearn the way
Stumbling through darkness, searching for answers
Striving to restore what was
Promethean fire absent from us
Reaching out towards the light
Arcane keys to wisdom
Principles of the past
Redeeming oneself for the follies
Of those who came before
And so I turn my gaze skywards unto the aethyr
To observe the firmament above
Faustian struggle to transgress the barrier between
Begone! The empyrean shall be ours
Elohim in retrograde
Seraphim in extremis

Cold and grey, this dim bleak horizon
Far beyond the grasp of Jehovah's wrath
Concealed and desolate, devoid and pale
A plane inhospitable
Behind and below
Inverse of creation
Thaumiel, the dark divided ones
The first to experience the otherness
Of the Sitra Ahra
Extinguishing of the holy light
To be reborn in the black flame
That animating force the separates
And heralds the triumphant Will
To escape the fate of true death
Devourment by the godhead
Descending the qliphothic shells
To gain a knowledge of the Tree of Death
Distillation of the essential self
Surging antinomian energy

Morningstar
05:12

|
Lo and behold, a star in the east
The first to appear and the last to recede
Keys of the adept passed down to the neophyte
Mysteries encoded in symbology
To know the heights of heaven
You must know the depths of hell
Aspiring to reach a balance
Along this polarity
Arresting the ceaseless churning
Between the two extremes
To reach a state of gnosis
Desired and most supreme
Duality in shambles
Deny rejection of the shadow
Embrace the complete path
Mental alchemy
Hermetic principles applied
Move forward with the Great Work
Stoking the fire that burns deep within
Self-transformation in totality
Taming the chaos to claim your domain
Power, balance, wisdom, strength (x2)
(Eôsphoros)
Lightbringer! Illumine, initiate
Nightbringer! Chthonian revelry
Lightbringer! Ascendancy, becoming
Nightbringer! To mingle amongst the shades
Morningstar, morningstar, Lucifer
Bearer of knowledge impart unto us

Shadowed, shrouded in cold
Trials engulfed in the dark
Shrouded in the cold dark
They seek of shelter
Of shelter...
From the veil and the void
Alas, eternal rest
Will light encompass you?
Your only desire to continue...
The struggling husk
Husk of this plane
Imagine a shade
A shade grown from...
The dark, the evil
A seed drawn from the shadows
Of the ever reaching paralysis
To the mass popular procedures
Endure, endure the cold dark
Endure, endure
Only to light the sky
Your every desire, your every breath
To meet the call
And the rest will encompass you
You, you're a shade
The seed has grown
Endure the shadows and the cold

The blind leading the blind
by 1914

I first discovered this band when I randomly stumbled upon "Where Fear and Weapons Meet." Some consider them Blackened Doom/Death Metal. I just consider them Black Metal with the only caveat being they play detuned or 7 string guitars. Their songs are well orchestrated, layered with many unconventional instruments to add atmospheric ambience, and still spew some of the most raw and aggressive material.

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.
