Longing for Death

Longing for Death 死への憧れ
This is the time of tension
Between birth and death
This is the place of solitude
Where three dreams cross again
Exile
Longing for death
This is my final act
Of rebellion
This is the time of catharsis
Between agony and relief
This is the place of solitude
Where corporeal shackles are cast
Aside
Longing for death
Internalise the void
Through transfiguration
The doom of notions
I crave
The silence of the grave
As my tortured fractured soul
Tears itself apart
The doom of notions
I crave
The silence of the grave
As this miserable fucking world
Tears itself apart
Exile

Aokigahara Jukai 青木ヶ原 海
In the trees
Blue pervades
Beneath the fog
In Earth’s maggot-womb
These gnarled roots
Like knots of hair
Ensnare and blind
To feed the trees
In this suffocating darkness
I can no longer tell
Where my body ends and the forest
Begins
Strangled in the black roots
Drawn down
Into the hungry dirt
Those who before me
Perished here
Worm and pest made palaces
Of their bones
Those who stray
From the well-lit path
Suckle the black milk
Of death’s harvest
Bodies on dank earth
Silver in the moonlight
In this suffocating darkness
I can no longer tell
Where my body ends and the forest
Begins
Strangled in the black roots
Drawn down
Into the hungry dirt
Web of contempt
Wrought in barb and thorn
Worm and pest made palaces
Of their bones
Oh
The trees are bathed in blood
Well-hidden and death-ridden
Take the rope
Leap into the void
Take the knife
Slash sentience away
There is no escape
No hope in sight
Aokigahara
Jukai
This is the end
Tonight we die
Aokigahara
Jukai

Of Hate

Of Hate 憎しみの
A myopic formiciform race
Laid their larvae deep inside your mind
Cloned themselves through you
Parasitically fed within you
The sibilant swarm
Suckled on barbed teats of hate
Blind since birth
Indoctrinated
Vipers’ venom was your mother’s milk
Ensuring your mental-malnourishment
Bigotry was your playground
Native to hates homeland
The rabid pack
Suckled on barbed teats of hate
Blind since birth
Indoctrinated
Marching
To the beat of atavistic adirato
Hate
Your inheritance

Its Toothless Maw

Its Toothless Maw その歯のない口
Boundless
Formless
Lightless
Lifeless
Its silent howl deafens
Its sightless gaze blinds
Its odorless stench suffocates
Its toothless maw devours
All
The antithesis of life
The antithesis of love
Boundless
Formless
Lightless
Loveless
Its ghastly vibration obliterates
Its absolute dominion commands
Its odorless stench suffocates
Its toothless maw devours
All
The antithesis of life
The antithesis of love

Ubasute 姥捨て
氷塊の洞穴を過ぎ past the cave of ice
風穴を過ぎ past the cave of wind
幽冥に続く to the shadow
その山の樹海へと of the mountain into the sea of trees
青木ヶ原へ to Aokigahara I go
不帰の客となろう never to be seen again
パン屑の道しるべを残そう leaving the breadcrumb trail
息子のために for my son
家に辿り着けるように to follow home
歩き進む onward
青木ヶ原へ to Aokigahara I go
不帰の客となろう never to be seen again
ここは何処だ here is where
斃れそうだ I will lay
ここは何処だ here is where
終わりがきた I wait to die
幽冥に続く in the shadow
その山の樹海で of the mountain in the sea of trees

The Pact

The Pact 協定
The pact
Will made-form
Word made-flesh
Our dolourous exile
Cold ice-ridden air
With fire in our lungs
Hot wrathful prescience
With ice in our minds
A serpentine path
Our irrevocable epitaph
Shed our vessels
Hollow beings – at one with the void
Our blackened wings unfurl
Oh the pact resounds
From our withered lips
Cancerous ash falls
From our feathers
Pestilence blooms
In our footsteps
Wormwood radiates
From our scales
Our independence night
In the arboreal gloom
We will rot
Bound forever

Slaves

Slaves 奴隷
Human
Semi-human
Grotesquely heterogeneous
Procession of slaves
Cowering before non-existent gods
That loosed unspeakable horrors upon you
To live in fear is to be a slave
To live in fear is to be a slave
Fractionally human
Not human at all
Grotesquely heterogeneous
Procession of slaves
Kneeling before despotic tyrants
That loosed unspeakable horrors upon you
To live in fear is to be a slave
To live in fear is to be a slave
Commit to mental deicide
Slay your oppressors
Without and within
Spare us your proselytization
The system of your beliefs
That shelters your psyche
Limits your consciousness
Slaves

The Howling Wind have been on our radar for a while ow. Our favourite track on Vortex is Destructive Salvation Of Nature.

Mordbrand is excellent black/death metal with a dirty edge from Sweden.

Rust is raw black thrash at its best.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.
