Summoning
From the kingdom of pain
Shapeless entity Cynothoglys
Will appear for ones death
Multiform
Back to dismal land
Beyond morality of the mortal
Blind killings in insanity
Mortician
Bringer of the pain
God or human
No one would evade
Salvation
By the sinful hand
Deliverance
From tendons and wretched skin
Power...
Out of limits and imagination
His highest motives
Are mysterious to the gods
Alone in his greatness
Passionless to suffering and pain
Cynothoglys...
Appears... For ones death
I can't formally retract the erroneous 2.0 I gave this back in 2018, but I can say that, five years on, I've come around to this record in a big way. Quality death metal with great atmosphere without being "atmospheric" (read: boring) metal. Diabolus in Muzaka
Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy?
Yes.
p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro. YomaBarr
