HORDES OF THE BLACK CROSS​/​/​FUNERAL MOON SPLIT ALBUM

by HORDES OF THE BLACK CROSS

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    From death to death. From nil to naught. From chasm to the abyss. From exodus into darkness. Through the chambers of unlit to the twisted depths of flesh corruption, we urge all heathens and acts of heresy to come forth!

    Making a pact of formlessness and nothingness, HORDES OF THE BLACK CROSS (MELB) and FUNERAL MOON (ADEL) are now armed with a 10” split album due for official release on Wednesday March 1st 2017.

    From the shadows of the Australian black metal underground come these two primal forces of unbinding fire. Arising from the same grimy DIY culture that froths a nihilistic worldview and a universal art/life practice, Hordes Of The Black Cross and Funeral Moon recognized the other as kindred spirits united to devastate a scene intent on imitation and insincerity. Yet neither forget the old gods and masters of black metal, as they forge their own path of twisted destruction.

Iron dagger in hand, Temple in ruins, The seer has spoken, Of wars between Fire and Ice! The Maw of the Void, Nil and naught, Empty and desolate, Life’s end of all, Churning heat, Restless and raw, The seer closes its eyes! “I’ve seen forces that create, I’ve seen forces that destroy!” The scales in hand, Dissonance or discordance, The seer has spoken, A plethora of death in chaos terrain! A world of ice, The antimatter, The stillness and spirit, Shattering all existence! “I’ve seen forces that create, I’ve seen forces that destroy!” The antimatter! Creation through destruction, Destruction through creation, Life through the Gap, Death through the Void, Of wars between Fire and Ice, The seer has witnessed! The rivers of fire, In a world of ice, Seething flames of life, In a world of death! Iron dagger in hand, The chasm before me, The faceless seer beside me, A pact made of fire and ice!
2.
Seven suns fold the sign of death, Blood sigil, blood red light! Ruin hunter of morbid eyes, Ruin hunter in blood red ice! Charnel unknown on fields of fog, The hunters curse on the victims heart! Beyond the dark beyond the void, Through fire and ice, the swords are drawn! Seven suns revealed the seal, The promise of glory from the Master’s hand! Nil and void of this mortal life, We took a life now open the gates! Carve the portal on hollow ground, Seven suns to bind all wisdom, The gleam of life upon the blade, Destruction and doom are our Master’s fate! A malevolent path the hunters traverse, Uttering madness a gift to the gods! Formless meditations as formless supplications, Bleeding the void with a slit of the dagger! Carve the portal on hollow ground, Seven suns to bind all wisdom, Forge the sigil on cold ritual flesh, Seven suns to drain blood fire! The gleam of life upon the axe, Our death as offering o Master you shall have! The slither of light and shadows that lurked, To seek the source a return to hunt, What light o Master have you brought on forth? What thunder and lightning do we tremble for? The gleam of life upon the axe, Our death as offering o Master you shall have!
3.
Sign of the old gods, Caustic curse from the Master, With flaming swords of rancour desire! Lash of the tongue, Copulation of death and divine, Satiate the killing with morbid descent, Through smokeless fire we’ve brought the seal! “Come hither, o Brotherhood of War, Restless are the old gods! See the flaming arrow across the sky!” Under the sign of Ganymede the frosty winds come howling, Talons on ground, eyes on the flesh! “Come hither, o Brotherhood of War, Restless are the old gods! Witness the curse of death to come!” In a pact of night and flesh, They hunt and prey, shrouded in darkness. A night of lust, a night of death! Born in darkness, death in twilight, The hour is now to enter the gates. Sign of the serpent, sign of the sigil, Fire and wisdom, marauding chaos! Men from the south armed to the teeth, The time has come for death is calling. Speak to the Master, blood to the gods, Speak to the Master, sacrifice to the gods!

Rejection of the forest path Far along the broken way Funereal procession Dappled in light and shade Adorned from head to toe A full body mask of deceit Drenched in the musk of ages Disgust will not escape from this scene Unholy rites enacted With each waking breath Voluntary extinction Earth on fire Drowning in a cesspool Of things and greed Nations are gripped By imagined needs Vile denunciators amass Wild natures suppressed Heathens within the burgeoning flock Denounce hypocrisy From the altars rise Cry blasphemy From the decadent heights Raised fists when the times not right Give credence to those that deny Within the ranks our worst enemies arise Revolution not fast enough for us to survive Our gift is our curse From birth we learn to abuse Consume the final moment Of doom War against all Rages on evermore No forgiveness No remorse Power to create Right to destroy Elaborated ethics Final thought We give thanks for the lives we had And mourn the coming of the end The end

Pathless creation Pointless destruction Universal nothingness reigns free No value inherent in being We are as one lost in all Illusory self suffering eternal Moral ideology of the damned Mindfuck the only life we'll ever have Uberthought ignorant of simplicity Collapsed microcosm of obscurity Active dissolution of evolution All knowing abstract materialism Mindless, deliberate, brutal, rationale Mindful, contemplative, subtle, awaken Rootless the Tree of Falsity Replanted upon fertile ground Ravenously colonise desolate earth Stem by stem Where there are now things There’s also a graveyard Nihilistic temple to modernity Body upon body Godless, soulless, lifeless Into the endless night alone... Ego relinquished Primitive awakens Cosmic pyre ablaze Wildfires light the way Free from the burden of humanity Feel the dark heart of anxiety Mundane existence of oppression Pales when confronted by nothingness Take me far away from this place
6.
Hate suffer You and me Born to... Hate suffer We shall all Live to... Hate suffer Alone we all Die to... Hate suffer Dharmachakra Wheel of torture Endless death Bitter return Fatal sadness Written in our eyes For all eternity Crave lust beg crawl Frigid cold of the human tomb Hope love peace serene Spirit wanders for final exile What you want you shan't have What you have you shan't want What you are you shall be What you despise you embody Hate suffer for all You me forever Beyond life forever Hate suffer for all Born to...Live to...Die to... Hate suffer
