All is lost; the unconquerable will
a study of revenge, immortal hatred
and courage never to submit or yield
while the fields of Pandæmonium
fill with death throes of Nephilim
Seekers, skeptics
sentenced as pariahs and poisoners
a prophylaxis of the individual
under the tyranny of Heaven
Abandon shame
abandon fear
exit Eden
abandon God
Within His sanctuary, in the withered gardens of Asphodel
roam exiles of Paradiso and abominations of Gaia
with unholy rites and profane feasts upon blackened altars
to the sound of wailing children, bathing in hellfire
Carcasses of flayed Seraphim strewn above the gates
sculpted from maggots and viscera
cacophonous laughter in agony
among the wretched and the damned
the empyreal archons of Gehinnom were only just the beginning
Fascist decrees of servitude aided by fire and sword
force total obedience and purging of conscience
His followers rape the earth and salt the festering wounds
and we lick the residue of laudanum from His abusing hands
Rebels, idealists
those who scheme against Him
sentenced to eternal torment
Abandon shame
abandon fear
exit Eden
abandon God

I have had the vinyl on repeat ever since I got it. The ending of Tartarus in particular is always breathtakingly beautiful. This entire album feels like an epic poem. poeta_regius

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
