fyeahmetal This record recalls that quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away". There's nothing left to take away here - the composition and execution is thoughtful and sure-handed, the result focused and powerful. This is black metal long removed from icy Norwegian forests; instead, it trawls shadowy inner currents, where spirits dwell. Abandon hope, but discover oneself, all ye who enter. Favorite track: The Crown of Death.

Dissolve the full! Coagulate the empty! Procreate the infernal fire from the sacred soil of division. A seed hatches... solvet saeclum in favilla, venom of God! There are death wounds in the burning of Eros. The void calls to fill and the full to empty. Black shadow of a red sun, Saatorus! The adversary in combustion, rise! The call of emptiness as fire of life. To the gaping heart the deep beat, emptiness and the consistency of it Union of unequals, burn!

Ashura 05:34
Ecstatic….The putrid breath attacks my face What rules by absence is now beyond the walls, The jaws wide open, cavernous, oppressing, malignant. The instinct of death, constrictor, is crushing me. Shredding without weariness, the flesh from the bones, The acquired from the innate, all under the voracious yoke Walk on the path of thorns, Ashura! Transmutation of the Self at the darkest flame, Sacralisation by the death fire Whose hydras contaminate an eternal venom. Within it no rest! Terror, suffering and death give to existence its thickness. The venom flows as the will grows, no safe shore in eternity Or the sacrifice is empty. Walk on the path of thorns, equinoxial paradox Ashura! Walk on the rays of the sun, hidden and forbidden The sun below the horizon!

Who rules remains silent… Only the waning moon reveals my scales. Through fields of death, Invisible, I crawl on a bed of corpses, All severed by swords of goodness. “Crawling in the sands of time, can’t you see his eyes?” No lips may hold my words in entire. I’m the crawling fire. Called evil to conceal my holiness, I’m He who curses and blesses. Metamorph, changing skin, anima of a polymorfic monotheism. I spit my fangs to starving hearts and turn tears into blades. Prime waters flow through me. I’m He who curses and blesses Many flames in the fire, Death and desire. Quia multisumus!

The sun may show you the world but it still hides the stars, For I’m the night, unto which you awake, die! Who serves me flees the light and do ride a dark beast I wear the crown of death and the dead are restless. I spread woe and infamy, sceptre of the morning star I wear the crown of death and the dead are restless. "We’ll sin and die beyond heaven, the shadow holds us all." Every echo of the black rain on the ground of servitude Made me deaf to the cries of a world that isn’t mine As I die for and by incandescence, I leave that sphere behind. Clean the clay from the pure bone And rejoice in the black divine. Face the heads of the dragon In the depth of the abyss, in death reborn, the desert is infinite! Tearless I am!

Connect the soul to the sign Despite the law of the world. Make it monstrous, burnt on immanence’s pyre One day you’ll remember but now the dragon’s awake Hear! Its dark storms break! My heart, a snake nest, Whose madness will crawl down to my hands impure And unleash its fury. Makes a million men a steaming pile, Connect the soul to the sign. Makes a million hearts a sorrow blaze, Connect the soul and erase the days. What’s sacrificed down here echoes in eternity… "(Domine Satanas omnipotens) benedicti sacrificio mea." Ambulavero in vallem umbrae mortis! Sanctus, spiritus, Satana est!

Feel the tortuous waves of the ocean in movement, It bleeds from all the pores of the world. In the cradle as in the grave, In the sleep of reason that breeds monsters. Assassin's streams which no thing can hold. By reverberation on its waters, The eye of the night spread its glance through me. Its tears like torrents of deep black falling from below. Surrounding me like the jaws of a raging eternity. Feel the tongue blacken your soul. The seas of not-knowing, absorbing the dying sun. "There is in the sun's grave, ophidians of blood and night Whose tails are lost in never. Highest crown thrones beyond all sight. There is in the eyes of the first born, death, death, death!
