lyrics

They applauded on arrival
When we entered the shrine.
We won’t look in their shimmering faces,
We shall rest,

As we lied looking straight in the eyes,
Justifying ourselves with the cause,
And we’ve cut our way with the knives bloody red,
Through the fellows who wandered ahead.
We dismissed those who’d started it all,
Sacrificed the devoted for fame,
We have sold everything just to take a lustful stare
In the mirror on vanity fair.

All we see is darkness,
But our eyes are guided
In the halls on the ascending ladder,
We walk up undoubted.

And we lied looking straight in the eyes,
Justifying ourselves with the cause,
And we’ve cut our way with the knives bloody red,
Through the fellows who wandered ahead.
We dismissed those who’d started it all,
Sacrificed the devoted for fame,
We have sold everything just to take a lustful stare
In the mirror on vanity fair.

Autumn's Dawn, Winter's Darkness
by Fathomage

supported by 13 fans who also own “The Mirror (pt. I)”

Another gem from Northern Silence Productions, Aussie one-man act Fathomage delivers relentlessly one full-length a year since 2018. This one is again an amazing atmospheric BM extremely well-crafted composition, suffice to listen to the first 12 min of the album, i.e. the first track, to be fully immersed in a mystical Tolkien's journey... but modern, dark ambient elements make it stand out from the baseline! Highly recommended!! sachavonkarl74

Mortal Coil
by Dödsrit

supported by 12 fans who also own “The Mirror (pt. I)”

Dödsrit is what happens when you drag Post-Hardcore, kicking and screaming, back into a Black Metal setting. And it's clearly working. tgoz
