Ride with northern winds
Down the hills of death
Ride with brazen horns
And arm your final breath
Braziers toppled, banners torn
Golden fields razed by flames of war
Shields splintered and broken
Swords shattered and scorned
Bleached trees burning black
Ebon robes frayed and torn
Sundered by roaring screams
And shaken by tolling bells
Fallen kings and rusted crowns
Lay beneath the crimson ground
Strike with a fearless heart
And an iron hammering fist
Strike with a mortal oath
And take his final breath
Worn kings will fall
Bold warriors shall rise
Between crown and mantle
Ancient magics die
Sorrow reigns over these fields
As ash lingers over dying flames
The darkened veil will never fade
And the blood will never wash away
Scattered on the hills of death
Among echoes of the fallen
Mourned, lost, and buried forever
Shields splintered and broken
Swords shattered and scorned
Bleached trees burning black
Ebon robes frayed and torn
Severed from aged helms
Under a weeping sky
Fallen kings and rusted crowns
Lay beneath the crimson ground

The Sleeping Tide
05:40
|
|||
|
Under an ominous sky the way is lost
Roaming through this creeping wasteland
Where hope and light fade
‘To a passage shrouded by suffering
Rotting reeds that writhe in misty winds
Echo an epitaph of sorrow
Suppressed by despair we wade forth
Followed by knowing sightless eyes
Deep within the silenced fen
Their pale eyes surface from below
Like candles faded within forgotten shadows
The dead sleep beneath the tide
Entranced by the dim water before me
A reflection haunted with visions past
Faces sunken and shoulders bent
In armor that no longer shines with the sun
Swallowed by the damp mist
Bound to the pallid marsh
Drowned in eternal darkness
The dead forever stay
The dead forever remain
Break through the lifeless fog
Disillusioned by the dead
Burdened to continue on
And carry the anguish of man
Deep within the silenced fen
Their pale eyes surface from below
Like candles faded within forgotten shadows
The dead sleep beneath the tide

Deathless
07:18
|
|||
|
Awaken from an eternal slumber
Deep below the mountains green
Born to roam the ageless forests
Across the soil unstained by kings
A vow withheld in darkness
Bound within the depths of emptiness
From great caverns beneath
To seeds of forests that sleep
Our song will shape the world
And forge our will of stone
Under the burning stars in Night’s sky
On mirrors below her crown revealed to me
Kingdoms shone in the shadow of mountains
Rising from the earthen heart
One thousand years fade like Winter’s sun
Of ancient days and nameless halls
Laid upon a tomb of carven stone
A guardian shall emerge from eternity
I am deathless
A master of immortality
Within the age of darkness
The sky fell black
Evergreen fields burned to ash
Summoning the vile drums of war
Like a hydra’s severed crown, I return
With thirst for vengeance
Under the burning stars in Night’s sky
On mirrors below her crown revealed to me
Ancient gateways in a face of silver
Lighting the path to boundless power

Blood of the Forest
05:58
|
|||
|
Through countless years,We’ve watched your destruction
In isolation, a shepherd of the emerald shade
When night’s blade falls
And severs the wings of day
The dormant green awakens
Revealing untangled roots
With wrath, we march
By the earthen sword, we march
Of black hearts, we march
To death, we march
The shifting soil under our feet
Will bury your mortality
Beneath the sagas of the forest
You’ll kneel before the trees
Like a cold flame, your power will fade
Speared upon my primal fang
With wrath, we march
By the earthen sword, we march
Of black hearts, we march
To death, we march
We are the eyes that lurk in the shadows
We are the hides that howl in the night
We are the claws that mangle the flesh
We are the blood of the forest
Wash away in the waves of my fury
Beneath the dormant green we’ll return
We are the rivers raging in the deep
We are the roots that travel beneath
We are the moss that buries the stone
We are the blood of the forest

Mountain Heart
05:18
|
|||
|
Thunderous cracks fill the molten halls
Bellowing down to the fiery chasms
Veiled within the heart of the mountain
Dormant evils awaken and burn
Bonded by a golden will
Slaves to the anvils of war
Lifeless runes glowing with power
From the ashes of solitude I'll rise
Great anguish unleashed upon the world
Born from the chambers of flame
Forged for kings under the sky
Shaped for lords in walls of stone
Deceived by one alone
In the land where shadows lie
Wielding molten power, sets me free
Upon the black forge, you'll cease to be
With embers dying breath, I shall rise
By the ashen flame, all shall die
Overcome by marching waves of flame
Your dying world will drown in pain
Kings fall under the darkened sky
Lords cower in their crumbling walls
All doomed to serve my call
In the land where shadows lie
Wielding molten power, sets me free
Upon the black forge, you'll cease to be
With embers dying breath, I shall rise
By the ashen flame, all shall die

Among the Ruins
05:03
|
|||
|
These withered lands I roam for eternity
Among the ruins and blood stained soil
Under the forests lamenting trees
Why must I be left here to dwell?
My ashes scattered
Like autumn leaves
Rusted beneath
Cold winter greaves
Lingering with the graveless
With no light from the sky to guide me
Alone in this hopeless hollow
My lost cries suffer endlessly
Harrowed are memories that curse me
Visions of broken oaths remain
Clouding my tarnished eyes
I’ll never lay to rest
I am the soulless spirit
Forever bound
In shrouding mist
Cold and grey
Harrowed are memories that curse me
Visions of broken oaths remain
Clouding my tarnished eyes
I’ll never lay to rest
With the dead

The old tower looms over endless trees
Summoning the dark to corrupt their leaves
Lands forever cast into shadow
Ruling over his realm of sorrow
His gaze pierces me
Upon the dark hill
The voices beckon to me
From beyond a cursed fog
I cannot escape the reach
Of this dark bound fate
I stray into the forests
Where the wolves hunger in darkness
And the rivers drown in emptiness
A land cursed evermore
Weaving a crown of shadow
Conjuring the dead
The voices beckon to me
From the shadowed tower
I cannot escape the reach
Of this dark bound fate
In the chamber of incantation
Within the cold walls of death
Even the shadows are silenced here
Malevolence steals my every breath
The voices, they lead me
Before an obsidian seat
“I’ll be your last memory
Of this dark bound fate”

The Harbinger
06:03
|
|||
|
Sentinel of a mountain lone and rivers shone
Old and wise I’ve foreseen your demise
Under a wreath of snow defending your throne
Of ravaged gold bestowed by the ravens roam
Calls echo through valleys below
“The mighty keeper is slain”
“Reclaim our rightful heir”
“To victory or death”
Follow the raven’s flight
Bringer of death, lord of the skies
Fly above winds so cold
To the lands of old
And tales untold
Follow the raven's eyes
Bringer of truth, lord of the night
Seer of darkening storms
Over wars long torn
And men so worn
To war we ride cleaved by the moonlight
With axe in hand bound to blood command
Adorned with helms of stone and savage bone
Under the watcher’s eye we endure the night
Follow the raven’s flight
Bringer of death, lord of the skies
Ride above winds so cold
To the lands of old
And tales untold
Follow the raven's eyes
Bringer of truth, lord of the night
Seer of darkening storms
Over wars long torn
And men so worn
At the height of clamor
By shadow of raven’s wing
Shields will steady
And raise to prevail
Follow the raven’s flight
Bringer of death, lord of the skies
Ride above winds so cold
To the lands of old
And tales untold
Follow the raven's eyes
Bringer of truth, lord of the night
Seer of darkening storms
Over wars long torn
And men so worn
“To arms sons of inken wings
The hour of honor is upon us
Ours is a day of reckoning
To whatever end, we rally”

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.
