where do you turn when the crossroads end?
what quenches that thirst when the blood has run dry?
when the son of man is stripped down to bare bones
and the holy abandons their shelters of faith
our vestal fire burns neath their communion
our sinister ethos an undercurrent of their core
the prayers of the pious are but broken calls
stripped naked of substance, soaked in heresies
threefold is the foul formulae
read out loud in hallowed disquietude
threefold is the compelling denial
the forbidden key for the arch-fiend to intrude
Lucifer, Beelzebub, Astaroth
Lilith, Naamah, Agrat, Isheth Zennanim
enter ye here, enter ye now
transform the world we knew to ash and fire
the stranger light impregnates the nadis
a woeful fire in the center of our hearts
henbane and wormwood lies thick the air
as the fiend-child is planted in the sterile womb
the silent tyrant enters
the shadow of a shadow made flesh
the threshold cracks open at the feat of the beast
as we drink the poison draught of Lilith
threefold is the foul formulae
threefold are the trapdoors to the nightside ark
threefold is the compelling denial
the forbidden key for the arch-fiend to intrude
Lucifer, Beelzebub, Astaroth
Lilith, Naamah, Agrat, Isheth Zennanim
enter ye here, enter ye now
transform the world we knew to ash and fire
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! Lukas Kaufmann
Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert
