The lifting of a fog, the fraying of a hem
Sunspots of a revelation
Is golem to the law, unraveling distractions unknowable to minds
Yea say I, to those who quest
Thirst itself will serve you best
And as the cock crows in the dawn on the day that we fall
Let it be known that we toiled to laugh, and stood tall
As the sun rises and sets, on kings and fools all,
Let it be known that we stood tall.
Man is the substrate in which the humours bloom,
Behold the Infant Joy!
Hand of god, mouth of doom
Yea! Yea say I! Aye! I say Aye!
Rising from the depths, from a cavern, from your chest:
Yea.

Great, versatile black metal with detail aplenty. Some songs are surprisingly upbeat at times - e.g. Carve My Name, before dropping into claustrophobic dissonance and ultimately exquisite atmosphere - while other songs come along as frenetic and apoplectic throughout. Then there's the dismal piano: presaging impending doom, gracefully placed in the middle of the album and interlaced with its successor. Let alone the closing track. This album will pull you deep into the currents of its misery. David Fischer
This searing, four-track split from Bog Wizard (Michigan) and Dust Lord (Colorado) pairs stoner rock riffs with hard fantasy themes. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013
