lyrics

If molecular links transcribed
Future histories in every niche
Of the sentient vehicle
Then, locked passionately in time,
Our cenancestor might deign to move
In one direction,
And one direction thus
To inflict upon us the fervency
With which he would rebuke
Our powerless descent to perfection
Perhaps this foresight would manifest
As innumerable paces upon a road
Called betterment.
In one direction,
And one direction thus
Wisdom.
We termed our children
The benefactors
Even as their gnarled digits
Reached for us
From the beds of the infirm
And the gluttonous alike
Godless, one and all
In one direction,
And one direction thus
Cenancestor
Viscera sloughing off
Against the ebb of spacetime
The cenancestor moves
And those pale, verdant orbs
Shatter like desires unmet

OK, I know I'm seriously missing in the 2016 department, still I have no excuse. This is genre and life changing. "Cthulhu on vocals". How true. YomaBarr

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
