Forever “his” name is truth
Rising to the stars he prevails
Crushing their minds with fear
“His” honour is sin
I am one of “his” sons,
Satan lord take my soul
I give you this sacrifice,
Satan lord take my soul
In my heart the flame burns,
Satan lord take my soul
Ave Domini Satanas
Bring us pain great spirit
Strangely we await
Going towards eternity
He dwells within the flame
To the stars we rise
To face the lie
I will be with him
Right at “his” side
I have given my soul
To Satan lord
I will suffer the pain
For this is the game
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
Featuring members of Noothgrush, Graves at Sea, and more, the Oakland metal band juxtapose cavernous doom with spaced-out shoegaze. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2024
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
