lyrics

Hark!
To the crimson core
from whence you came,
Hark!
To the cold breath of fire.
Hark!
To the crystalline
and cryptic rays,
Hark!
To the Hermetic pyre.
The serpentine myth,
Eternal snake,
From one end,
to the other beginning.
Primordial hymn,
Of flesh and gold,
Of spirits dark,
And darkness old.

Cover the world,
And cover the sea,
In your ecstasy.
Drowning us all,
And making us fall,
To unveil the mystery.
Chaotic tides,
They sing of a time
When all of us shall be free.
The river now burns,
As I understand,
The alchemic high
From which I spring.

I promptly turn back now
from whence I then came,
To retrace the steps and
to regain my aim.
Elliptical orbit
of spirit and flesh,
Darkness and light mingle,
rebirth from ash.
Strong-willed resistance,
and forward I lunge.
Into uncertainty where I belong.
Torment me now,
I long to descend flesh.
Ravage me now, and thus
I shall ascend.
I promptly turn back now
from whence I then came,
To retrace the steps
and to regain my aim.
Elliptical orbit
of spirit and flesh,
Darkness and light mingle,
rebirth from ash.

Alchemy, Qahroba,
Ecstasy of old,
Lavish me, replenish me.
Turn my spirit gold.

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
