Ik lig hier naast een wilgenboom
Vergeet mijn leed in blijde droom
Een merel in een verre heg
Zong luide van vergane dag
Ik dacht aan’t lang verlaten huis
Ik hoorde weer het zacht geruis
Dat s’avonds door de linde ging
Oh wat een blij herinnering
Nog peinzend zie ik t’bloedend rood
En schreed dan in ten groten dood
En stilte zong de avond wind
Gebeden voor dood mensenkind
A trail of fallen kin lie before me
As far as my tired eyes can see
A bloodred horizon to illuminate my path
I hear their cries as they share in my agony
Eternal winter brings crushing despair
I beg to be blessed by slumber
Dreams of death’s embrace flood my thoughts
May in cradle me forever
Destined to carry the torch of time
Frost bitten fields is where I belong
Alas I sing a forlorn hymn
As the peasantry works on

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

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. alienasu

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. Bertrand Marchal
