Past the crescent gates of moonlight
Into vast waters of the underworld
Uplifted onto the carcass of space
As waste decays into undeath
Past the curtain of falling stars
Entangled in brilliance of dying suns
With my last breath I smother the cheerful light
Further down the forked path
As air vibrates with sacred chants
I call thee, o great Chthonic Sun
Come forth, o serpent of thousand scales
Slither now through veins of night
Until doubt turns into ashes
And flows like black waters of Styx
Until your Word unites the void
I give myself into the great unknown
And as the portals opened
Dreamlike visions sprung before my eyes
And as above, so below in the bowels of the earth
The secrets of the abyss I enshrine
I call you, o spirits of the Aethyr
Ignite now the viridian flame and burn away the flesh

O bringer of inward light
Serpent striking from the heart of night
O phantom bearer of radiant torches
Anomalous herald of envenomed voices
O eater of filth
Mighty light-devouring fiend
O fearless fire that consumes the hearts of men
Uncast shadow striding gulfs of space
Divine chaos unchained
Indominable darkness unveiled
Guide my hand!
As your fires form in the womb of night
Hear my call, o hallowed Void and Voices
As I yearn for you, wedded to celestial woe
Sever now this feeble soul
Never to return!
As I tremble upon ancient night's void
Dead to the lunacy of the world
Under the blind moon's unblinking gaze
In your name I cross the crescent gates
Never to return!

Beyond the Stellar Gates
03:47
|
|||
|
As earthly bonds are severed
With a swift blow of your crescent scythe
I now call on your thousand names
Deep within the vastness of space
Emerge from the wailing abyss
Where consciousness dreams eternally
Into prismatic depths of night
Down the ascending path
Soul's transformed
Now tear away the cosmic veil
Out - beyond the stellar gates!
O silver-eyed offspring of the firmament
Disrupt the celestial alignment
Enflame now the cosmic wilderness
Within my own self

Through primal fires of cosmic alchemy
Spirit transmuted to reach beyond the veil of ignorance
All that's within - revealed
All that's without - banished
As the lens of perception shatters
Striding across the sublunar space
I call you, o blessed primordial otherness
Descend now from wells of perpetual night
So I may dwell in the streams of your amorphic light
In the scatter of your stars I wander
O mighty darkness seeping from the heart of all light
Dissolve now the lingering doubt most foul
So I may stand firm on the crossroads of my soul

|
Emerged on the Seventh Path
Bearing the aflame torches
You who condemn the false gods' wrath
Bless me with your cosmic gnosis
Spellbound to pools of ancient night
Venture I - seeking thine gaze
Forth now, I call on you, o mighty Death
Grant me thy blissful prophecy
As Black Dragon you ascend
And as Serpent you shed your skin
Fill me now with your divine essence
To you I offer my primordial sin
O great cosmos-devouring sun
Promethean thunder bursting forth on wings of night
By your will its secrets unfurl
As ancient stars cry out mesmerizing chants
With your gaze parting gates of flames untamed
Setting mortal hearts ablaze
To clear the ascending path
To purge within
To purge without
Necromantic mantras echoing
In your flourishing darkness slithering
My soul - now a fading pyre consumed by your viridian fire
I come to thee - a symphony of blood and bone entwined
Weave now your threads!

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 69 fans who also own “Throne Between Worlds”
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.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 62 fans who also own “Throne Between Worlds”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!
