Engulf the sun
May bitterness arise
May all beg to die
Curse your birth
Curse your breath in a void
Echo in a void
Here is the end
A final communion on the last step
These vapors exhale
Severed from creation
Severed from Creator
By nameless savior
Nameless thief
Rejoice and be not afraid
And look in the rotting corpse of man
Look in the spoiled womb of woman
Look in the crushed frame of child
And behold the glory of the Lord
Magnified for every eye to see
The shadow of the foundation
Looming from below
Simmering with spite
Promising to reap they who boast in life
Oh, my soul pants for you
How long must I wait to see?
None shall see my face and live
What is meant to be?
Non plus ultra
Ne te quaesiveris extra
Fear is in those who seek the light
Wallow in truth, in its misery
And its blaze shall refine or destroy
Shackle or liberate
I have beheld Thy splendor and will abide in Thee
Surrender and devotion unto Thee
For You are worthy of praise
Worship with heavy tears
With scarred limbs
A ruined life, sweetest aroma

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
