Nucleus extols ice
A black cloak of night-shape
Powers before the beyond
Becoming the tomb of the sun
Lifeless burnt-out sphere
Now frozen to black
And ice is wept by the sun
Stifled by crystal universe
Arctic pitch black pyre
Of this sky no more
Lifeless burnt-out sphere
Self destruction universe.
His last album is also a masterpiece, even though he seems to have his life in order now and has a wife and kid to live for. Wrest is the master of intense bone-chilling BM and dark ambient music.
Also for those new to this, check out his "Lurker of Chalice" demo and album it will make your blood run cold and take your last dying breath away.
This guy...
Always good to know that your own feelings of dread and depression can be washed away by the melodic beauty that is Black Metal. Leviathan is one of the kings of Black Metal.
The cover art is masterful.
To me it's always said the story of someone who has made the decision to end their life, and done so, but right at the end as they die they regret their decision, frightened by the black abyss of death, the utter finality of everlasting nothingness, and try desperately to cling to life and crawl back but they can't... the terror/desperation on the face in the final moments as they slip away.
And the music compliments it perfectly to me.
death is portrayed in the media as a crisis while in black metal its is looked as a gathering of ones own inner expression torwards life i think we might be considered a crisis..
Metal is like a drug. The more you listen, the more you want. The more you want, the heavier you want . The heavier you want, you get deeper... and deeper... and deeper... i am currently digging rotten christs and behemoths latest albums... so what am i on heroine? Meth? This is the real stuff. I just haven't gotten to this shit yet. The cocaine.
