Spikes beneath your joints
Bludgeoned by the wheel and kept alive
Condemned to the breaking wheel
Mangled, entwined in wood
Embrace the pain you feel
You’re suffering, as you should
Dragged to the executioner, pressed to the floor
Never ending demise, fear burns through these eyes
Lost, forgotten in space and time
Skin withered, inhuman cries
‘Why won’t I fucking die?
The pain blinding, that which I hate
My ending, my final time
This punishment is my fate.’
Spikes beneath your joints
Bludgeoned by the wheel and kept alive
Dragged, pressed, restrained
Fractured, tortured, maimed
Beyond absolute agony…
‘I see my toes, they meet my shins
Both femurs jagged/fractured and exposed
Though my consciousness begins to wane,
My vision has never been so clear…’

Tomb Fog
07:37
|

|
A looming presence
An ominous force
Pours itself into you
I choke on this tomb fog…
And I choke on this tomb fog
A resonating fear
Whispers so ragged
Its breath in your ear
Desperately grasping
Losing yourself
The end is here
Relinquish yourself
Release your grip
Let your life go
It’s no longer yours
A looming presence
An ominous force
Tomb fog is vast and omniscient
Once it sets its sights on you (x2)

Rust and Bones
06:25
|

|
Lifeless horizons, morgue of the Earth
Seething skies rain fire and rot
Paths littered with vermilion
Eternal marsh, devouring
Timeless descension, verge of the spirit
Rust and bones alter the flesh
Absolution never attained
Contrived and hollow, a masquerade
Erupt from within, immersed in the depths
Hollowed by defeat, withered by deceit
Absolution never attained
Contrived and hollow, a masquerade
Convulsing with fragility
Conceived in chaos, burning away
Erupt from within, immersed in the depths
Burdened by wisdom, ruptured by the truth
Lifeless horizons, morgue of the Earth
Seething skies rain fire and rot
Timeless descension, verge of the spirit
Rust and bones alter the flesh

Abandon
06:56
|
|||
|
Canopies darken the skies as the night falls on the horizon
Vertical depths of ancient roots devour the sun
Sowing the seeds of hatred until nothing remains
This constant despair reaping the fruits of delusion
Sentient nature, nurturing and destroying the life force
Within this abstract reality
Foraging for survival, the dweller must suffer, must
abandon
Barren landscapes follow into hopelessness
And depravity, desperation, denial
Feel the branches enter the flesh revealing phantom selves
Roots emerge from the bones crushing them to a coarse
Deny and you shall perish
Accept and live for eternity
Barren landscapes follow into hopelessness
And depravity, destruction, denial
Sentient nature, nurturing and destroying the life force
Within this abstract reality
Foraging for survival
The dweller must suffer, must abandon

super duper good follow up to their first record, which is a modern death doom classic, here they went in a bit of a different and more ambitious direction

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals
by Sulphur Aeon

Nobody does death metal quite like Sulphur Aeon. Meticulously crafted dark and brooding atmosphere that oozes with Lovecraftian horrors. This release might not be as punchy as their previous two but it’s still excellent. 8/10
