lyrics

I hated solitude for the heart beats heavier,
a discomforting richness blaming grief.
Enthralled, the wind held my skin as pain called,
seconds threatening peace as nothing was dear.

Shelter beckoned sleep as the forming wish,
but a branch was clouted, a voice leading.
A woman appeared, resembling my lost passion,
yet a golden spectre whose fair was demeaning.

Mangled pleas were raised to follow her,
a quest by night to flare the hearted beyond.
What courage should burst from my soul
if the moment stirs a deadly sound?

Entering a house scorched and weakened,
threatening glimpses damned upon me.
Bodies lying in shattered movements,
a frail resistance repeating scourges and pleas.

Screaming, as agony threatened to rob pity,
the fleeing led me far to unquiet beings.
Characters held by a diminished poverty,
ministers of deviance blatantly accusing me.

Appalled, found my companions slithered,
insanity leading me to a decrepit mourning.
A thick mist carried me through a pestilent slumber
and I fell, leaving hope searing, sowing… ashes flowing.
(Time reaps minds)

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper

supported by 6 fans who also own “Shadow´s Foul Scourge”

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae

The Frail Tide
by Be'lakor

supported by 4 fans who also own “Shadow´s Foul Scourge”

The track "A Natural Apostasy" is probably the most diverse on the album. It actually has quite a nice build up from the start. Following that is a flowing heavier section and towards the end is an almost folk-like guitar piece coupled with a meaningful and well played flute segment by Megan Sykes. Be'lakor has created an album that will probably never bore you. Full review: https://metalstorm.net/pub/review.php?review_id=4088 starvynth
