lyrics
Distant epitaphs drain the world
of color so vibrant
and leave dark craters
A constant drone of loss howls the words
and rains in torrents
upon desperate masses
A frantic, captive throng -- prisoners
of men and madness
of hate and power
Gasps of snuffed-out light reverberate
like some foul wind
that tears through nature
Resentful eyes will track the men who destroyed them
Accusations pierce the silence
The unheeded testimony of stolen voices
Betrayed in contempt to an unmarked grave
Distant epitaphs roar from where sanity fled
and horror gives chase
Snarling and ravenous creatures emerge from the dark
Nightmare monstrosities shamble forth
Decayed and servile to rancid ambition
Dredged from a past of primal virtues
Wherein nothing grows but
dread machinations of violent compulsion
That stalk the virgin day and strangle dark crisp nights
In terrible campaigns
Resentful eyes will track the men who destroyed them
Accusations pierce the silence
The unheeded testimony of stolen voices
Betrayed in contempt to an unmarked grave
Fearsome echoes of death pang eternal
Conscript the world to war
The ever-constant pulse of degradation
The pounding drum of ceaseless confrontation
Awash in sorrow, we gaze from distant vistas
And thrash against the tearing claws of time
The helpless victims of an empire's failures
Chained to dark annals of a history that's already written
Unending screams, inhuman conditions
Forever to speak their deafening truth
Forever to sing their sorrowful dirge
Forever to command we cling to the future that they were all denied
Take all the good things about American atmospheric black metal but make the "atmosphere" support the songs instead of acting as the defining quality. Fantastic band, live show, and people. Woe

Blackbraid is a spiritual force in the black metal scene, bringing a unique perspective and culture that was missing until the release of this album. 'Barefoot Ghost Dance on Bloodsoaked Soil' is immensely powerful, showing me that black metal is as strong as ever. 'The River of Time Flows Through Me' is excellent as well, with a crushing melody and unforgettable song title. Hail Sgah'gahsowáh, the new blood of black metal. Obsidian One

Well, after listening to Death and Black Metal for over 35 years, it sometimes gets boring, even if bands try to innovate. But then you stumble upon an album, which immediately clicks: it fresh, but familiar. It’s emotional, intelligent and complex, but not for complexities’ sake. It flows, it works, it’s authentic.
This album is absolutely great, it’s all I want from this kind of music: cold soundscapes, raging fires, the embrace of darkness. 10/10 Ricardo Cristof
