Can you hear the stifled breath beyond the mind shattering noise? To endure a life confined to this illusion of peace. Prohibiting our true nature, the blade we drag upon to bleed. As we suffer by the law of man, words that strip our identity and curse our tradition of vengeance. To transcend our violence, our bodies convulse evoking the true nature of our spirit. The violence we restrain for this illusion of peace. (Take to where the sting of eternity is the sight of our blood drawn across the world) Take to the somber glow of distant flame, the stillness of death. Can you feel my heart breaking from beyond death? (in the desolate woods, echoing back from the destroyers of our world)
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
As scalding as hot lava, the latest from French group Non Serviam collides black metal brutality with industrial grind. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
