lyrics

(Yggdrasil)
Thee I once saw in thy dreams
Now tainted by these wretched trees
A mystery filled thy bones with a desperate longing
For the light cast upon this barren wood
Ages before I left its grounds.

Thee I call to thy feet
I pray do not give up on me
A tale untold, waits ahead in the woods before thee
Take your strength, hear my voice and follow me,
for truth lies lost within thy dreams.

(Wanderer)
Leading northward, her gentle voice acts as our guide.
An anxious ache grew in the pit of my stomach with each passing step.
The crackle of our footfall through the freshly fallen snow grew louder as we sauntered on.
After what felt like many hours of our journey, we eventually came upon an opening at the foot of what must be the northern mountains. The edifice of a face, carved into the root of its stone hills, staring back at us. It was clear that this was the moment in which our journey begins to make sense. And so, into the mouth of the earth, we march.

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

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 6 fans who also own “Cloaked in Oaken Shade”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert
