Lux Nigredo

Metallurgical Fire I didn’t understand the previous hype. Lux Nigredo is now the album that I feel the worst about using a code for. It’s a unique approach to the genre while maintaining reverence for the past. I was at first turned off by the production, but through the course of listening everything makes sense. I wish I’d have listened to YomaBarr a few years ago. Any black metal fan should at least give it a listen. Favorite track: Necrosophia.

Wan Medeiros 🇺🇸 US Ritualistic Occult Black Metal in its most heretical, chaotic and bizarre form! Instrumental with cannibalistic drums like a flesh-mutilating hammer, dissonant guitars with riffs that make your teeth grind and cadaverous vocals of demonic rites with lyrical themes that range from cosmic horrors to death, possession and the evils of a disturbed mind and that make you reflect on the illusion of life... "Occultus dea manifest mortem". ⛧ Favorite track: Anathema.

Astovidat 09:37
Ia Ashta-Vahat servant of Angra Mainyu Personified decay the cold entropic touch Ripples, seizures, ecstasy as the body dies Descendo angel of darkness Emanation of the Other Side bone divider In snakeskin forms I sing your praise And call to the feast Come! And drink my soul as wine Until I am but a shadow of thy terrible form Drain me unmercifully as I gaze upon your horror From great slashes of lightning To the rotting skull of a dog In the blood of the chosen On the thorns of acacia in the songs of Great Saturn Return the power to the earth Lord of the mysteries of Death and resurrection I call to thee Osiris I beseech thee grant your wisdom Place your staff upon my brow for the keys to immortality Unlock, as well, the gates of Death I invert the cross of life and let it hang as a noose There will be no resurrection there will be no holy light Awaiting perished saints O Holy Death claim your kingdom Reduce this wretched matter to Nothingness Omukade ascend the mountain coil 'round and pierce the stone Envenom the veins of the holy creation strangled in thy web Vengeful serpent, wrathful queen let me drink the poisoned blood Of God come, emissary look into my eyes

Anathema 08:36
I bow to the holy heresy The head of the goat crowned by fire Mangled arms outstretched, bloody sickle held between the eyes Carving the signs of the accuser into my living flesh With the hidden name of El cut into the corpse of my enemy To pay the price of gods and reveal the secrets of the Devil O horrors acosmic let them move through I am his weapon anathema Phurba the blade that is held to the throat of the world Splitting the staff of Caeducas, murder the Auri will crush the pillars And from their charred remains a monument shall be built A vehicle to scale the heavens, there I shall stand Iron grasp on seraphic wings, embodiment of all fear Their voices speaking louder urging me to act My gift to the world shall be my Death Necrovore my Death breathes through me The way will never be shut I give unto you the shell of my body Possess me, come forth to this world Make me one with your light great serpent of Chaos May your venom dissolve this delusion of life Scaling the tree that was born From the seed of the hanged man Occultus dea manifesta mortem Narcotic blood rites plasmatic vomit Upon the harts skull from between the horns Revealed are the angels through which the Master Shall rise bathed in the blood of Brahman In power of the Black Sun and I am his weapon anathema Phurba the blade that is held to the throat of the world Embody the shadows, I drink from the well empower this vessel Act through thy sign splitting the staff of Caeducas Murder the Aur Samhara Bhairava The sound of defeat and the the gnashing of teeth Devouring light, stripping all karma undoing creation And time rise now! Ye power of entropy Degrade and destroy the chains of Samsara Scaling the treet that was born from the seed Of the hanged man occultus dea manifesta mortem Occultum morta manifestus

Necrosophia 11:40
Unseeing eye force of uncreation a writhing mass voiceless Nameless legions whose multitude tongues only heard In the silence of a tomb the secrets of the pentagram opened The gate to becoming inverting the currents of our starlit cosmos To fold inward the rivers of Eden to see the light Unseen and feel beyond the flesh to know the paths Beyond time and speak Her name... I speak all curses against you I spew forth venom Upon your head I strike your name from all life In reverent praise of my goddess I burn with hate Against all I bleed myself in adoration of all embracing A love beyond the genetic noose of the word Beyond the threads of fate I coat my body in decay And diseased flesh I write my secret name Among Death's hallowed kin the only truth waits past The veil of Self! And I shall seek it solely And I shall shun deceptions until thy altar is stained With the blood of those hated and loved Nourish the tree whose roots of vitriol Extend beyond the expanse of time for am born of the Nothing And to its womb I shall return baptised in the blood of Creation A monument to the failing of life revel in the glory of the snake As it coils round the falling star so brilliant in the solitude of night Lighting my path to the temple of Nine in my wake The glory of Void my herald, the rising of horns To see the light unseen and feel beyond the flesh To know the paths beyond time and speak Her name...

Life is not the end, life is not the beginning My life is but a step upon this path Countless deaths with every step My face... I barely recognize Yet the eyes remain the same My spirit remains though this vessel may change Thus is impermanence one second, I live In one second, I die thus I must prepare I shall prepare the way for my true self This face, this voice, these hands... So tirelessly trudging through the echoes of Saturn's Great storm the lifespan of a fly And as the maggots before me I shall eat of this Death The rot that lay before me on this carcass of mine Shall I feast nourish my soul nourish the earth Til the stars, like embers disperse from my footfalls My next step on this path

Oh mother, sweet mother You have shielded your children for too long Coiled around their fragile minds Release me from the shackles of your love For I burn with the light of a newborn sun And the reflections from your scales Have blinded me for far too long This world is a dream The language of Choronzon Eternal psychagog Let us interpret his signs And commune with the divine In whispered spells of praise to Death I am a stranger Born unwillingly unto this land The demons that speak to me in sleep Scream at me in daylight No solace in this life Just sorrow - bleeding, gagging From the wound that birthed my soul And now the Master has come Oh mother, sweet mother The lord of the graves is calling me And I long to drown in the waters of memory I lie awake at night in anger Reflecting on a life of regret Let me look upon your face This world has nothing for me Let me speak you name I have become as one with all And found it lacking Thus I turn my eyes away From the hollow of the world I find completion In the stillness of breath The silence of second death The clear light of the abyss In rapturous ascent I am delivered Unto the womb of death and unwavering darkness All-pervading glory of shadows within shadows To knowledge forbidden and arcane To slack the jaw of the serpent from its tail And unlock the golden door of Pentagrammaton For the ouroborous wyrm is rotten And the bones of its spine are bare Yet still it moves, ribs contorted into million legs Scales upon its back as armor Mandibles outstretched to devour the coming dawn She calls to you... Her voice is reaching out "Everything as it once was" Thus I descend Unto the core of All being Where I am beholden to Death With eyes of gold As the atoms of my body Are torn from their bindings I shall lay my mind unto Her waters And the father's eyes shall close in sleep Emptied mind and heart of self Step away from the light of life Millenia passing as but a dream As the night returns to its throne I follow the peacocks tail Feathers and Eyes in Fractalized Flame Reveal the illusion of form Return to the Dark Everything as it once was One mind sharing the same dream
