lyrics
“What is this madness?
Has Devel taken rein?
Be it oak or onyx?
Has it root or vein?”
Feast on me!
The Knocking fell at tree’s foot
Hands scratching hairy mulch
And from the mulch, dull stones
Caps bruised by his touch
“What have you stolen spirit?
Have you turned ashes to gold?
What use have your pebbles?
Shaped as polyp and mold?”
These stones, these caps are but doorways
Of air and spore and rot
And through these stones, we will seek Great Earth
The offering presented
Each gifted in turn
Down they swallowed, spitting
Their breath began to burn
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list Dmitry Nevozhay
