”A Black Circle of Death” Invoke the eternal wrath of darkness And raise the hateful banner of death To crush the herd of the weak Under the weight of hell’s fist As weeping turns into cries of torment Blood stains the cerecloth To dive into endless sleep of infernal dreams With a poisoned dagger’s kiss With the bloody remnants of human life Torn into pieces in the fire of strife A circle is drawn in consecration Of death, total war and pure darkness A forest of crucifixions Where the wind of mourning whispers And a mound of pale corpses Emits a putrid reek of impurity As the night awakens We feast on entrails with lustrous eyes Praise war and torture And enter the black circle of death... “Harken the Bells of Damnation” Ancient winds blow in the glory of rising tyranny Majestic woods whisper the arrival of the unholy one This will be the age of impalements and bloodshed A praise of draconian rule and inhumanity Fortress gates are broken open wide With a thunderous roar Of a violent flow of a river of blood The cries of battle echo in the candlelit halls When the bells of damnation chime The conquered and trampled corpses Hang on the citadel walls as effigies of cruelty Drink the crimson offering of the dying victims In the time of war and sacrifice Worship the elegance of cruelty... Harken the bells of damnation “As Blood Snarls a Macabre Silhouette” Drowned in thoughts of carnage I seek the path through the dark Into the sacrificial circle of death Where the law of heaven is silenced Violent bleeding of lacerated flesh Like from the nails in the hands christ A knife mutilates the innocent The cries of the fallen haunt the dusk Trumpeted by cries of pain and misery The silent arrival of majesty death The beauty of an unholy desire In the mosaic of bones and blood In blasphemous possession Burning with the lust of the goat Thundering with the dragon’s wrath My eyes opened to the sight of blood... “I Inhale the Cruelty of Winter’s Breath” I stand alone in frozen silence Beneath the shroud of winter’s blight Awaiting the arrival of the glacial winds The dismal breath of torment In my heart as cold as the northwind No thoughts of benevolence remain As the trail leads further into darkness The arctic empire devoid of life Under the northern sky in moonlight I kneel in the falling snow After my lungs cough out graupel I inhale the cruelty of winter’s breath Under the cloak of the final winter At the foretold hour of nightfall I burrow into my tomb of ice To await eternity... “Lord of Blood and Darkness (Der Drachenprinz)” (Instrumental) “Exhale the Vapor of Starlit Tombs” In the light of an infinity of stars I wander through the ruins of a forgotten kingdom Betrayed by existence and forsaken by reality Bound by the chains of my eminence As memories awaken in a mirror’s reflection The thorns of the past pierce my heart A triumphant path of contempt and sin For the glory of my dominion At the inexorable throne of my crimes They shall crawl and weep And each tear becomes a tragic orb Glittering on the tapestry of the nightsky Spheres that I deformed in my own image Consume and stir the violent spite And as the sun sinks into the twilight I exhale the vapor of starlit tombs... “Behold the Infernal Kingdom of Hell” Behold the kingdom of the infernal fire The land of the cruel majesty of war See the barren landscape of despair Where clouds of thunder roll over the ruins In the mayhem of endless carnage’s nights The black victory of death As the kingdom of eternal sorrow Slept on the arms of forever The fallen archangel Possessor of the command of the heavenly host Call him the Devil or Satan His children are sin and death A black tower rises afar In the ruins of that which once was life I gaze into the eternity of darkness And in the distance, I see the flames of Hell And as I walked among the fires of hell Delighted with the enjoyments of genius Which to angels look like torment and insanity... (Parts adopted from "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by William Blake, 1790) “A Dead Rose for a Dying World” Beneath an ashen sky... in the pouring rain I stand and gloat upon a dying creation As one by one the embers of life die out And drift into an endless eclipse Come, Armageddon’s winds of butchery Let me taste the last drop of blood Sink the sword into the core of the earth And transfix the heart... cut open the veins As a dead rose has fallen into a torrent of blood That pours into the cavernous tomb Of a world lost in the depths of the night…

Now this is different. People don't make black metal like this anymore. Like, I feel I haven't listened to something like this in 10 years. It's raw and yet so rich, it's packed with riffs and grooves, the drums do sounds that I hear only in this very interpretation of the genre. The final song is poetry, nothing else. This is a genre "condensed, purified". It is how a very particular concept of metal is developed into a final product with no inbetweens, no interpolations but insight and knowledge. Hats - off. 👏👏👏👏

Its hard to tell as its so small, but I honestly don't see any Rune that would be the letter M in this. Unless its an adaptation of that symbol which wouldn't really make sense.

Of course there's may be some exception, but i don't listen too much black metal as i used to, and usually what pick my interest is old runners bands that i know that they know how to do the things.
