There are words that only the wind can speak
Hymns only the ocean can sing
There are stories only the mountains can tell
Stitched into the fabric of time
Emerging from the waves
A plague
Parasite clinging to life
Unnatural beings bearing death
Harbingers
Of the end
At the apex of your oblivion
I will gaze upon its dusk
Awaiting the serenity of night
The calm for which I lust
Of fragile flesh and feeble mind
We will outlive your kind
Relentlessly marching towards the end
I have seen your untimely demise
I am ageless
Everlasting
You are nothing
Your existence passes before me
As dead leaves to dust
That which has always been remains
As Your meaningless constructs rust
Speaking in forgotten tongues
A whisper in the wind
Turmoil beneath your feet
An embrace upon the shores
Cower back to whence you came
Once again our kind will reign
Plunge your head deeper in the sand
Pathetic are the rites of man
Fire will rain
From the skies
Your children will suffer, the oceans will rise
Bring forth the plagues
And famine
Rid the world of this vermin

Navigating through a seemingly endless maze.
Disoriented by a twisting blinding haze
Frantically I beckon down the hall
Only to hear the unanswered echoes of my calls
Confusion
Distrust
Apprehension
Disgust
Desperately fighting towards the fading light
As soon I approach it fades from my sight
Twisting, writhing, kicking in pain
Screaming for a sign, screaming in vain
Lay this mortal coil
Across the altars of time
Obliterate This consciousness
Wipe clean the slate of my mind
Desanctify the flesh
Open the gate of eternal rest
Sever the ties that bind
Let the great illusion unwind
Grant me Release
Navigating through a seemingly endless maze.
Disoriented by a twisting blinding haze
Frantically I beckon down the hall
Only to hear the unanswered echoes of my calls
Save me from this hell
Poison the well

By Virtue of Chaos

Too long, I have slept
Lying dormant in a fitful rest
Too long I have watched
Your fear of my power fade
I will awaken
The ground beneath your feet forsaken
I will arise
Under the sunless skies
Everything you know
Razed in seconds
You’re cities
Buried in stone
Too long, I’ve endured
Your blatant insolence
Silent no more
Silent no more
The earth trembles
seas boil
The skies blackened
Only ash remains
I will rule
By virtue of chaos
Now behold my power
Never forget
I will stand tall
At your final hour
I will rule
By virtue of chaos

Writhing sphere
Burning in cimmerian night
Longing for the sanctity of light
Endless coil
Twisting into form
Controlled by chaos
Endless rotation
Unknown force
Draws me towards the flame
I will devour all in my path
Theia
I will consume you
Your flesh feeds my core
Your fate predetermined
Your death will bring me closer to perfection than before
I will consume you
Give birth to the seas
Your life a sacrifice
Hestia will be appeased
No! I will destroy you
Your greed be your end
United in obliteration
Forever will you bleed
Coagulation
What was once dead becomes one
Slowly forming life
Balanced on the edge of a knife
Controlled by chaos
Endless rotation
Unknown force
Draws me towards the undying flame
Theia
You have condemned me
To a fate worse than death
Forever longing for that which will never be
Torn from the face of perfection
Specter, pale reflection
Forever will we dance across the skies
Pale specter of forgotten light
Illuminate this endless night

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
