Acedia pressing
Dreams are like murk
Every thought dragged into the pit
Where light doth not fall
Allelujah!
In vitam there shall be no solace
Why do you toil?
In the heaving of breath
Why do you weep?
In the trance of slumber
Give thyself to Him
In morte, respite
Tie this stone around your neck
Nec spe, nec metu
And toss it into the sea
This gracious embrace
Find your peace
Allelujah!
There the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest
There the prisoner decays
Hearing not the voice of oppression
The small and great lie there
The servant is free from the master
Wherefore is light given unto him
And life unto the bitter in soul
Which long for death, but it cometh not
Though they dig for it more than treasure
They shall rejoice exceedingly
When they find the grave
Why is light given to a man who is lost?
Whom God hath ensnared?
Nec spe, nec metu
Ridebimus et ridebimus
Sighing cometh before I eat,
And my roarings are poured out like water
For the thing which I feared is come upon me
And that which I was afraid of is come upon me
Enveloping silence

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer

Overwhelming dread giving way to endless beauty. Whenever I listen to this EP I feel as if I am experiencing a taste of eternity. Absolutely sublime. poeta_regius

I have had the vinyl on repeat ever since I got it. The ending of Tartarus in particular is always breathtakingly beautiful. This entire album feels like an epic poem. poeta_regius

What a BEAST of an album. When it comes to blending black metal and mathcore, these guys and Hoplites are the clear leaders of the pack. This album is sheer annihilation of everything in it's path. Pure chaos and destruction. And it is beautiful. Ryan
