My Sober Reflection
03:52

I rule the voice that whispers
When ego blurs your sight
Manipulating senses
Fall of will
No regret
I am you
Two sides forged in one
I lead the fear that’s dwelling
In every fucking breath
Your weakness feeds my essence
I awake
Light through darkness
One soul split in two
A sober reflection
Spawned by the abyss of the mind
Purify me
Your soul’s retribution
A sober reflection
Spawned by the abyss of the mind
Purify me
As I swallow the light
I rule the voice that whispers
When ego blurs your sight
Manipulating senses
Fall of will
No regret
I am you
Two sides forged in one
A sober reflection
Spawned by the abyss of the mind
Purify me
Your soul’s retribution
A sober reflection
Spawned by the abyss of the mind
Purify me
As I swallow the light

Bleed Through Me

Shroud of winter
Sky is filled with mist
Questions thriving in constant agony
Frail answers
An insult
True breed of sin
Can you hear me?
Can you really see?
Can you face the part that’s torn asunder?
Bleak faces
Confinement
No sign of spring
A cruel aspect
Slowly revived
From the elusive aura
Within your eyes
Upon your blessing I witnessed death
Now you shall bleed through my pain
Blackened colors
Marks the end you planned
Past is dead so better count your options
Frail answers
An insult
True breed of sin
A cruel aspect
Slowly revived
From the elusive aura
Within your eyes
Upon my blessing you flatter death
Now you shall bleed

Fovea

Sigh! Moments dissolve
Through weeping sounds
Hands reaching out for the unknown
A blessed curse
A mental storm
Casting my soul into the flames
I refuse to walk
This tainted path that always ends in tears
Pain built upon lies
Has made me weak has turned me blind
Breathe! When beauty fades
When trust is gone
No light is lost inside the shades
The flaw of grief
Salting the wounds
Scenes of distrust block out the way
I refuse to walk
This tainted path that slowly ends in tears
Pain built upon lies
Has made me weak has turned me blind
Fear for all that was
For all that will be
Thorns from the past
Piercing the morning breeze
I refuse to walk
This tainted path that slowly ends in tears
Pain built upon lies
Has made me weak has turned me blind
Fear for all that was
For all that will be
Thorns from the past
Piercing the morning breeze

A Nameless Tragedy
04:39

Descending a lower horizon
Consumed by their own flesh and blood
Shame that we all know the difference
Voices resounding…why?
Hidden in walls of concrete
Behind the shadows
Trapped in a land forlorn
Familiar voices
A touch of reason
Unable to bend our pride
The question will never be answered
Depression is kept in ourselves
We mourn in a torturing whisper
We bleed but we don’t seem to care
Hidden in walls of concrete
Behind the shadows
Trapped in a land forlorn
Familiar voices
A touch of reason
Unable to bend our pride
Seal the nameless cry
In times of torment
In awkward spaces plagued by the human disease
Descending a lower horizon
Consumed by their own flesh and blood
Shame that we all know the difference
Voices keep sounding…why?
Hidden in walls of concrete
Behind the shadows
Trapped in a land forlorn
Familiar voices
A touch of reason
Unable to bend our pride
Seal the nameless cry
In times of torment
In awkward spaces plagued by the human disease

Separation From God
04:15

Dreaming awake
Infected shards of a fallen empire
Obsession flows
Like a fading whisper that turns into scream
Weak but impure
Cleansing mind through separation
Self controlled
Breathing away beyond the waste
Who holds the key to relief?
Who filled my thoughts with regret?
Haunted by sleep
Tempted by need
Cold touch of fate
Conceiving wake
Silence speaks in deafening words
Many different views of the same act
Time does not heal, it just makes things worse
Now freedom lies dead in me
Truth lies dead in me
Lies now dead in me!

Strain, envy, scorn
Words you cannot deny
Reign, lust, fear
Words we cannot explain
Pride
Reason
Anger
Bound to the storm of silence
The mirror screams your name
Bound to a so-called wisdom
In the depleted lake of instinct
Scent of deception
Guided by the laws of greed
Poisoning the tree that bears
The seed of dreams
Lead your soul in the lie that I control
Pray for life as flesh turns into clay
Strain, envy, scorn
Words you cannot deny
Reign, lust, fear
Words we cannot explain
Pride
Reason
Anger
Bound to the storm of silence
The mirror screams your name
Bound to a so-called wisdom
In the depleted lake of instinct
Scent of deception
Guided by the laws of greed
Poisoning the tree that bears
The seed of dreams
Lead your soul in the lie that I control
Pray for life as flesh turns into clay

Sane mind inside the maelstrom of self-corruption
Dreaming we float among the fields of doubt
Exposed before the flames of uncreation
Freezing until the heart begins to break
Staring into the face of the leading darkness
Red eyes suffering sights of past undone
Closure – the sum of my expired emotions
Slowly feeding, taking over me
Faith lost
Thoughts wither
Storms breed a gathering threat
Time stops
Winds blowing
Coming up from all directions
Sane mind inside the maelstrom of self-corruption
Dreaming we float among the fields of doubt
Exposed before the flames of uncreation
Freezing until the heart begins to break
Faith lost
Thoughts wither
Storms breed a gathering threat
Time stops
Winds blowing
Coming up from all directions

Reverie inside a dream of light
Whispering the mournful words
Sleeping eyes shine among the living
Revival of times long gone
We shall never reach heaven
Moving on towards my resting place
Emptiness filling the void in me
No regrets for what I left behind
Feelling nothing – not even pain
We shall never reach heaven
Another step in the frame of existence
A venomous drop in the ocean of time
Mortality fades as beauty beckons
Words from beyond…echoing…calling
Is there any chance?
Do we stand a chance?
…will we stand?
Reverie inside a dream of light
Whispering the mournful words
Sleeping eyes shine among the living
Denial of times long gone
We shall never reach heaven
Another step in the frame of existence
A venomous drop in the ocean of time
Mortality fades as beauty beckons
Words from beyond…echoing…calling
Is there any chance?
Do we stand a chance?
…will we stand?

Evocation Of Light
by Stortregn
supported by 4 fans who also own “Seven Deadly Blessings (2013)”
Like an ever-so-slightly blackened version of Osmose-era Dark Tranquillity. It always pulls back from the (what some might call) 'shrill' BM sound, merely using the melodious aspects of BM to enhance their '90s melodeath sound. Recommended!

Omega Disciples [Album]
by Slave One
supported by 4 fans who also own “Seven Deadly Blessings (2013)”
Dolorem have ably scratched my itch for top-shelf death metal; this band and (the much doomier) Kåabalh are in constant rotation. Slave One are all about syncopation and riffs, and they do those two things incredibly well on this album.

As Cold As A Stranger Sunset [Album]

dynamic black/death that brings in some uniquely melodic and tech elements. reminds me of like a more savage & punkish Quo Vadis???

Nel Nome Del Codice

The eerie grandeur of horror film pipe organ music gets an industrial lift on the latest killer from Keygen Church.

Flesh Torn - Spirit Pierced
by NIGREDO
supported by 4 fans who also own “Seven Deadly Blessings (2013)”
Like @Yoma said: pissed off punked black metal. Those thrashy riffs and this mean vocals reminds me of Sodom. Angelripper would love this one. Flesh Torn - Spirit Pierced is a fucking banger!
