Across the red sands of frozen Time, blood sand crawl around the edge of sphere,
Under the southern skies the dust of dead angels scatter amongst ruins of Mankind,
Malice incapacision, the Execution of false angels & prophets cloaked in poison, spilling
Foul blood on this land; across the red sands of captured time...... under the southern skies...
The dust of dead angels scatter amongst the desert.
The sun has a heart of darkness,
In its core lies matter
Blackened by that strange phantom light.....
A collapse into blinding vision of Chaos,
For the dark matter lurks
In the heart,
That spiral inwards! (The anti-apex)
Chasing the light upon chaotic galaxies,
The Causality of Light and Dark,
A disruption of the Abyss.........
The entrails of that cold dying Light,
On jagged edge of blackened spheres......
The Ghost!
The primordial clash of Light & Dark,
Unseen by the suffering eyes,
Battles in hellish bodies of stars,
The lifeless Light swallowed by the abysmal
Ghastly dark matter!
Causality of the Dark and that suffocating, choking Light,
The existence of the dark matter
Forms, folds and ruptures in galaxies......
The entrails of that cold dying light on
Jagged edge of blackened spheres,
The Ghost, the death of Light!

The rotation of purging stars & the Collapsing Abyss,
The blackened hole & the Void within,
As the burning Sol rotates on its ecliptic Illumination,
Pulling all Life as it swarms through the unspoken galaxies!
Swallowing Life on its path, fiery furnace burning swarmth!
Through thousands of darkened Light years!
Through thousands of shattered Light years!
Through thousands of insidious Light years!
Through thousands of Discordant realms!
Lurking deep in the core of Sol's tomb,
I clasped that Infernal Light & cast Eye
Upon the Void within the Abyss!
I unleashed that poisonous Light that illuminates
Thy tortured axis (of collapsing self)
I unleashed that poisonous Light that illuminates
Thy burning stars (within thy Self)
And as I taste the Elixir of Acturus, Sirius & Procyon,
It consumes thy whole wretched Being!
I now summon Sol to guide the path upon the Void within the Abyss!
Through thousands of darkened Light years!
Through thousands of shattered Light years!
Through thousands of Light years!
Through thousands of Discordant realms!
Lurking deep in the core of Sol's tomb,
Eye clasped that Infernal Light & cast I
Upon the Void within the Abyss!

Spirals! Unleashed from the Eye of the unfolding Vortex,
The primordial thoughts seeking Chaos in infinite Flesh!
The primordial Void of the malign Vortex seeks the fall of every Life,
And for whom the Eye of the Vortex opens up the dust-cloaked mind
Of every Life!
The Ruptures of Spheres!
The Closure of Spheres!
The Destroyer of Spheres!
The Slayer of Spheres!
The Hordes of the Black Cross, the bearer of poisonous dark matter!
The Hordes of the Black Light reigns maelstrom, across the Flaming realm!
The primordial Void of the malign Vortex seeks the fall of every Life,
And for whom the Eye of the Vortex opens up the dust-cloaked mind
Of every Life!
Purging the Black Mass of unknown form,
Unhurling the Black Mass into unknown realms of Maelstrom!
The Hordes of the Black Cross, the Destroyer of Spheres!

The turn of the Axis set the Black Flames scorching high!
The Wheel within the Will of Discordance churns Life that
Lurks in the malign Alam of Sin Nanna!
On your knees! come forth! and heed the Vorthex of Sin Nanna!
The Black Flame howls in grievous death on whom who strays in the
Path of Sin Nanna!
The Will within the Wheel of Discordance seeping Light that shatter!
The denial of Supplication of Sin Nanna invoke the wrath of the
Decaying Angels that swarm under the rotting Inverted Sovthern Kross,
And through the looming depths of the 30 Aethyrs, the burning Sol
Incinerate flesh after flesh after flesh!
The Will within the Wheel of Discordance seeping Light that shatter!
The Evoker of Flesh, the reaper of poisonous Lust shall haunt your grimmest desires!

As the killing moon dies,
And as the sun is resurrected
As the bleak morning Light captured my dying Black Flame,
The laceration of Self breathes an Altar of Azab!
As the bleak mourning scars possessed my dying shadow...
As the bleak mourning serpent coil upon my sacrificial neck,
The laceration of Self birthed an Altar of Azab!
(The Void morning star shatters my Life being)
The razor of Life slither across my pure tainted wrist,
(The hanging scars)
I grasped the cold, burning unforgiving air, one last breath,
One last gasp of that hellish tormenting air...
Such a fine day to die!

From the unending depths of the Southern Hemisphere, the caustic ascending death has been
revealed.
To end the hunger and the crippling thirst, They consumed the chaos of flesh and drunk the elixir from the Goddess of War!
Thus, from the past, here and now is the procession into Chaos, Knowledge, The Self and Death via the black arts.

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 11 fans who also own “SELF-TITLED (TAPE, 2011)”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 9 fans who also own “SELF-TITLED (TAPE, 2011)”
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!
