Knowest thou
How to treat
The bodies of the dead?
Knowest thou
How to avert
Befouling Zam and Atar?
Knowest thou
That deep in the North
The underworld lies?
Knowest thou
It is there
The demon Druj Nasu lurks?
From Aresura she comes
In the guise of a fly
Shield the corpse
From the defiling power
Of the daeva
Of bodily uncleanness
Druj Nasu
Earth and Fire
never to be unclean
Do not inhume
Nor cremate
Do not contamine
The sacred elements
Excarnate
Deliver the body unto the sky
To the place of the dead
The Tower of Silence
Grotesque beings descend
From the steel blue heavens
Wide wings cast a shadow
on the dusty desert ground
Eery shrieks, spectral cries
Sharp claws and eager beaks
Fulfilling a ritual roll
On the Tower of Silence
Bones defleshed
Carrion barley
Eager vultures
A favourable omen
Hawks and crows
Next in line
Shattered bones
All is gone

Bortförd

Upp på fjället
I midnattssolens land
Upp på fjället
ylar vinden evigt
Upp på fjället
gisslar snön oändligt
Upp på fjället
under Norrskenets dans
Upp på fjället
långt ifrån Guds nåd
Upp på fjället
var klockorna ej hörs
Upp på fjället
lever ett utdöende släkte
Upp på fjället
begärs färskt blod
De befallde henne
att gå ner till källan
för att hämta vatten
men hon kom aldrig tillbaka
Spårlöst försvunnen;
bortförd blev hon
en mörkrädd piga
bergtagen av ett troll
Gärna bjöd trollet på
en motbjudande måltid
grodor och slingrande ormar
Men hon såg bara läckerheter
Ett djävulskt sätt att få makt över en
att fastna ett offer för evigt och alltid
Det var hennes tragiska öde
Av henne fick man aldrig höra mer

Un Ciel Bourbeux et Noir

Peut-on illuminer un ciel bourbeux et noir ?
Peut-on déchirer des ténèbres
Plus denses que la poix, sans matin et sans soir,
Sans astres, sans éclairs funèbres ?
Peut-on illuminer un ciel bourbeux et noir ?

Circle of Suffering
07:56

|

Another life comes to an end
Like a gust of piercing, cold wind
Blowing out a flickering candle
Leaving nothing but dispersing smoke
Life can be reignited,
Like glowing embers
Restarting a cycle
Of pain and agony
Death is no escape
Offers no peace
Nor stillness
It is but a portal
To another existence
Of prolonged torment
In a new material form
Subject to misery
Encasing a lacerated soul
Break the circle of suffering
Reject rebirth!
Enlightenment is yours to take
At the moment of your death!
Five basic elements dissolve
Flesh, fluids,
heat, breath,
your bodily complexion
Earth into water
Your body is burdensome
Water into fire
Circulation stagnates
Fire into air
Warmth and growth disappear
Air into ether
Contact with the world dissipates
Enlightenment or insanity?
Pain and pleasure coincide
Clarity transpires
Experience the six realms of the world
Enlightenment
Transcend reincarnation!

Aufruhr MDXXV

Subjugated, enslaved
Extorted, coerced
In this wretched life and the next
Drudging for the powers that be
Under an iron secular rule
and the prospect of eternal hellfire
This vile age of servitude
has now come to an end
The hand, once forced to serve
Turned into a clenched fist
Oh behold the arrogance of the elite
On this sacred Easter day
Believing that threats still have value
That mere words will cause peasants to flee
Denying the fierce determination
In the hearts of men who want to be free
Death - as a welcome alternative
To a long life as slaves
Oh siehe, die Arroganz der Elite
An diesem heiligen Ostertag,
Sie glauben, dass Bedrohungen immer noch Wert haben,
dass diese bloßen Wörter Bauern veranlassen zu fliehen,
den harten Willen leugnen werden
in den Herzen von Männern, die frei sein wollen.
Der Tod - als willkommene Alternative
zu einem langen Leben als Sklaven!
Your precious gold
Holds no value to us
Heroic knights slaughtered
Greedy soldiers massacred
The noble count begging and pleading
But to no avail, for death awaits!
Axes and pitchforks are raised
A gruesome honorary hedge
The piper plays The Last Dance
As the count takes his final steps

While Ofte jeg drømmer mig død will most likely always be my favourite Afsky album (being one ov my favourite albums in general), Om hundrede år ticks all the boxes I hoped it would: the calm and simultaneously depressing folk elements are there; the wailing screams of a forlorn spirit, forced to eternally wander the woods (apt comparison, deadpunk!); the harsh, bitterly cold guitar riffs and the ultimate realisation of life, death and our inevitable undoing. Exactly what I want. Recommended!

Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur
supported by 6 fans who also own “ENTARTUNG Maleficae Artes”
After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful.

The Endless Endeavour
by Drawn Into Descent
supported by 6 fans who also own “ENTARTUNG Maleficae Artes”
Such a beautiful and melodic album, heaps of melody and blackgazing elements all around. If you listen closely, you can hear how the guitar melodies and ambiance set the tone for the album and as the album gets into its stride, its so so so great.

The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres.
