Absolutely Incredible. Brutal, Heavy, and it just has this real feeling of darkness and death about it. And they arr from Raleigh (Where I live)? This band has a future in the Black metal scene.

Envy of the father
In blood I usurp
Sickled led castration
To see his power thrown
Deities the offspring of incest I sense their power grows
Knowledge I have gained from her the throne they'll overthrow
Limb by limb
Consume kin
Flesh engorged
Vicious means
To keep a throne and divine robe
Gaia keeper of the sun
Hidden to seek vengeance
Between the realms of my gaze
Gilded rule to be deposed
Usurper disemboweled
Titans released from Tartarus
Innards they spilled my brothers loose
Titanic war was kingly doom
Cronus horrendous the deeds against your progeny
Your greed has brought death by lightening fate fall to your knees
Limb by limb
Dethrone kin
Flesh is torn
Vicious means
To oust a throne and divine robe
Usurper disemboweled
Titans in bonds in Tartarus
Innards they spilled my brothers loose
Titanic war was kingly doom

All is Ash

All is ash and ruin
Limbs they lay as dead trees
Flames lick the bodies, like beasts on carrion
From the void came vengeance
Whose hand choked the fools
Crows may pluck the sinews
Mournful lulls of sad muse
My ode to kin is this slaughter
Split their limbs as they my daughter
End their days as they my son's life
Hanged high as my wife
Time will forget them for they are not stone
Flesh fades into earth
Snow buries the bone
The storms loom is endless
Weaving winter's bed
Clouds cover the valleys
Bleak, starved, and dead
Plunged from the cliff face
Meals for the wolves’ den
With joy they howl
Neck deep in dinner
Awestruck and grimaced
Face up and blood drawn
As dawn is breaking their eyes gaze at the gods
My ode to kin is this slaughter
Split their limbs as they my daughter
End their days as they my son's life
Hanged high as my wife
So breaks the dawn and so ends the night
The sunrises strong in snowblinding light

Blasphemer's Purpose
04:19
|
|||
|
Pilfer icons of faith
Blackened fixtures are stained
Knock the limbs off the cross, and into fire, they’re lost
Disgraced and ashamed
The blasphemer’s purpose is cruel
To bloody the holy tomes rule
To deface the savior in white
To challenge the monastic might
Sodomizing the tomb with blackened whispers of doom
The nailed Nazarene weeps for horrors inflicted deep
Disgraced and ashamed
The blasphemer’s purpose is cruel
To bloody the holy tomes rule
To deface the savior in white
To challenge the monastic might
Savage mockery of papal ritual
The blasphemer’s purpose
His will, be done

In the Master's Fire
04:45
|
|||
|
Blackest betrayer arise
Bones in the caverns chime
Crushing enveloping void
Men of the cloth are destroyed
Tracing circle seals
The sacrifice revealed
Culling the oncoming flood
The priest is drawn of his blood
Offerings are obliterated in the master's fire
Corpses will be immolated in the dirt retire
Sorcerers know not what they've called
The beast enthralled
And at command appalled
Torches burn as flesh to shreds is turned
Cultists' rights
Through everlasting night
Blood across the sanctum walls with grinning evil maws
Cultists fleeing through the halls they'll never greet the dawn
Submerged temple sealed by hounds of hell
Beasts are boundless and subjugation failed
No escape no human sign remains in caverns dim
Flags made of human hide the banners of tattered skin
Submerged temple sealed by hounds of hell
Beasts are boundless and subjugation failed
Moons are watching over the slaughter, freezing at the sight
Humans not but bestial fodder tempting ancient might

Another Album that spread its songs across some playlists of mine, but I actually never bought the album. And than I wonder why... I look them up... I realize the album is already sitting in my wishlist and simply got forgotten under all the other stuff which is piling up there. I feel a bit ashamed because Obsidian Arc is on of those album that just seem "complete" with the right amount variety... it is taking me back to the habbit of listening an album as a whole, not as its fragment.

Not gonna lie, I don't usually go in for the super composed, melodic flavor of black metal. That said, I'm thoroughly enjoying this release. Gives kinda an Old Man's Child type vibe.

Dreaming in a Dead Language
by Mo'ynoqGetting swept up in the merciless undertow driving these all-consuming black-metal songs is half the fun. The other half is in the riffs.
