lyrics
I drift forth from primeval banks
Beckoned on by verdant fronds
Black boughs part waves of verdigris
Hushed by mantles of grey
With crooked oars
I rend the Silvern haze
Nebulous shores
Confound my mortal gaze
The shrouded distance frowns
The mists darken and bruise
An argent, glowing mount
Cast in effulgent hues
Immense, unearthly mass
A Polyphemic head
Thence we all must pass
The isle of the dead
A spectral spire
Wrought from sable frost
Rises from the mirrored surface
The tideless waters
Sublime in purity
Sweep me away from the failing world
Unto forgotten
regions of the soul
Clad in diamond divinity
My vessel has passed away
To commune with the hosts of grey
Forever in that mount to dwell
Until the peeling of the iron bell
Til the life of the world is done
Sit illumined by a second sun
Transcend time in that pearly spire
Gaze transfixed upon the stones of fire
Very late to the party, but for several years I've found melodic black metal all too similar and all albums sounding like Dissection, etc... HOWEVER, not only I am back into it but UADA is still a layer of complexity above the main baseline and this is an old album worth having, that's a basic milestone in UADA's discography and I felt it needed to be part of my BC collection. sachavonkarl74
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
If “atmospheric black metal” implies majestic comedowns and dramatic dynamics, this powerhouse instead constitutes anti-atmospheric black metal. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 23, 2021
definetely one of my favourite bm projects lately, love the synth elements. makes you remember how amazing, but terrifying, space really is :) scumdrug
