darkenedspirit (Midgard_OBM) Absolutely great and fabulous album. Desperate, cold, hateful, grim, a bunch of awesome riffs, awesome atmopshere and artwork. Melancholic, insane, great lyrics, no real reproaches, this is greek Black Metal at it's finest!
Metallurgical Fire

Metallurgical Fire 8 minute interlude is a pretty confident choice. Then at 7 min. in I get my head blown off. On one hand this is pretty straightforward black metal but on the other it’s a highly unconventional album. The vocals are wretchedly wonderful, if that’s not an oxymoron. It’s better than most of the Greek black metal I’ve heard, and feels more Polish (not trying to insult the Greeks, more of a style preference). Favorite track: Birth Of Eos.

YomaBarr Just dug this album from the bottom of collection and now it's love from the first note. Right time, right place.

As we are seeds of lesser Gods We shall walk on And we will have to crawl and roam and demean our poorest soul For we desire nothing less and nothing more As we are seeds of lesser Gods As we are sons of morbid love As we are sons of mortal Gods Γιατί είμαστε γόνοι ταπεινότερων εαυτών προερχόμενοι από τη ζήλεια κατώτερων Θεών Δίχως βλέμμα και φωνή Χωρίς χέρια να αγγίξουμε τα τέσσερα φεγγάρια Πατέρες άστρων και φτωχών Γιατί είμαστε απόγονοι κατώτερων θνητών Είμαστε γόνοι ταπεινότερων εαυτών Είμαστε γόνοι κατώτερων Θεών And thus we die And thus we spawn inside the ruthless winter cold So none shall speak of us nor in a withered voice and old For we are always born from a lesser sky and with a lesser soul As we are seeds of pain and norms As we are the offsprings of every lesser God Γιατί ως γόνοι κατώτερων Θεών Προχωράμε αέναα ως το τέλος των λιγοστών μας ημερών Ως γένημα πύρηνων ιδεών Γδάραμε μια χούφτα μέρες των εχθρών και των πιστών Γδαραμε τη ζωή μας για μια χούφτα μέρες Γδάραμε τη ζωή μας σε μια χούφτα σκιές Γδάραμε τη ζωή μας για μια χούφτα σκιές

Your thoughts are already bleeding out again For the still hours of the night to crawl Again upon the suffering of All Rip out my eyes Tear up my soul Forever I had stood alone and my breath was carved in me Then torn As I lived inside my wounds inside my loss My words came to this craven cry This final moan The light drowns itself on despair And for the second time tonight I stroll in blind pain No paths for me No more wounds for the beast in me to feast No more wounds for me Hear out my cries Before you deny my soul My gaze behind the lie is dying for so very long Tear out my eyes So I can rest my soul All now are wounds Stare at my bleeding words and my bleeding veins Stare at my at my bleeding thoughts and tell me they’re not bleeding in vain Stare at my perfect loss and my perfect cage Tonight is the first of my last days Forget about my cries So you shall forget about my soul Cause in chains I will be In chains I have lived And in chains I was spawned

Submit into your pain A bottle of confusion A lifeless flow into your veins Don't stop until you kill away your brain In silk and blood In ice and glass Cuts of paper upon your eyes You lay down Now you may sleep In sweat and cries Your voice echoes through the entirety of frailty Your outside turns to ruins Crawl away your thoughts My nightmares are proud of their doings In liquid days all of you is growing old Paper cuts upon your eyes Paper cuts upon your soul Until you rest your open veins take as needed for your pain

I tried to smile but the pain has been carved to my face I tried to swim but my tears had me drown And the sun was overwhelmed And the moon was casted to the ground to crawl and breath and die alone I tried to walk but no path was paved for me So my dreams like falling leaves do not blossom anymore in the cities of despair Η τιμωρία μου πηγάζει από εμένα και με καλεί να την ερωτεύομαι ξανά και ξανά μέχρι να μισήσω τον εαυτό μου Η τιμωρία μου γενιέται από εμένα Τρέφεται από τα σπλάχνα μου και απ' το μυαλό μου Δίνει πνοή στο Χάος Παίρνει πνοή απ' το Χάος Παίρνει πνοή από εμένα I tried to speak but my cry was reveled by the many I tried to sing but my voice came in fragments I tried to see but my stare has been forever blind I tried to live but my life had been denied So the dusk has come to devour every light So the night has come to slaughter my every dawn

Birth Of Eos 08:41
To bring in light the thing that has been known A breath beside the stars Comes to be at the yesteryear of dawn The son of light, the father of none The son of despair, the father of all I begged the days not to come Not to tread upon my body and my heart To hold still So I would dream and I would scream To lay down my voice in serenity And the tormented ones In the early days Shall count the hours like stains of blood Drawings of a restless life A structure of blissful times That’s burned before it’s born Beyond the vault of a nameless sky the light was born and the light will die Beyond the vault of a formless sky My truth comes to be nothing more than an elegant lie Beyond the spawns of a dreadful life as they tore away my breath they demand from me to smile Birth of Eos and the birth of stars Is followed by the cold of morrow and The End of All The End of light and The End of Us Is dreamt by my voracious sorrow and my desperate soul Now all the stars are gone and the sky is dead upon me Now all the hope is gone and the despair roots upon me Now all the stars are gone and the sun is dead inside me The Sun is Dead And the fires now descent down to wounded bodies and the wretched years To quench the agony that spawned our inmost fears To let the stare escape through our forever solid tears

The darkness shrouds me no more And the light sears my naked body and my soul These rays pierce through my flesh, my bones and my blood They impale through my breath so they can tear it from the core The decay forces its way upon my gaze So I shall see no more It strips me from every dream From every hope To remind me that I have none, that I am none Thus I hauled myself inside the cruelest night And begged her not to dawn again upon my desolate life And I paved the path for the dying suns to lay beside me So we shall bury ourselves together * And so I stayed there Beneath autumn leaves Until I faded away Like deserted ray Of a migratory sun Thus, I shall remain here Among darker stars And I shall devour myself Again and again To the knowledge of Naught I have Fallen…
