Reaping hook
Penetrate
God of Death
Initiate
The transmutation
Creeping flames in open lacerations
Grim remedy for the fire craving soul
Putrefy
Decompose
Worms awake
Disintegrate
Till liberation
Creeping flames in lacerations
The black earth is sealed
And scorching
Reduced to primal matter
From which the ancient shape reforms
Rotting flesh and bleeding wounds no more
”Oh, most singular and unspeakable Presence, first and last in the universe,
heighten the fury of my fire and burn away the dross of my being.
Cleanse my soiled soul. Bathe me in your awesome Light.
Set me free from my past; cut me loose from my boundaries.
Unite me with the One Thing hidden in my life,
wherein is my only strength.
Fill me with your Presence.
Allow me to see through your Eye;
grant me entry to your Mind;
let me resonate with your Sacred Will.
Make me transparent to your flame,
and fashion me into a lens for your Light only.
Transmute me into an incorruptible Stone in your eternal service,
like the Golden Light that surrounds you.”
In every hell
There is grandeur
In every death
There is movement
Forth!
Reaping hook
Now penetrate
Oh, God of Death
Initiate
The transmutation
Creeping flames in lacerations
This flesh and blood
Finally undone
Reduced to primal matter
From which the ancient shape reforms
One thing destroyed
Is another thing born
odd choice of tracks for a re-interpretation but lets be honest,ask 100 people what to redo and you get 120 answers cause with a long history as Horn,there just are too many tracks. Audio & mixing is superb and follows the style of the last 3 releases.
I wouldn't start with this album cause you miss the evolution of Horn <and lots of kickass riffs>, grab this when you have several hours of the old ones under your belt to really grasp the full line of work. its worth it! Tleilaxu
Easily one of the most powerful Pagan Black metal albums unleashed into the world. The musicianship is phenomenal, the vocal performance is savage, and the atmosphere is a somber triumph. After my first play through I had to listen to it again. Horn has quickly become one of my favourite bands that I will champion at any time. battleslain
