'WEIGH ANCHOR
HOIST THE MAINSAILS''*
ON THE EVE OF
THE 7TH OF DECEMBERFROST
WE SAIL ACROSS THE JUURN TO
THE GOLDENSHORES OF EASTARRION
DRAGONSHIPS EMERGE THROUGH
THE BILLOWING MORNING FOG
LIKE GHOSTLY DAGGERS PIERCING
THE CEASELESS DARKNESS
THE EARTH DOTH TREMBLE
AS WE LAND UPON THE COAST
TEN THOUSAND STRONG,
LEGIONS UPON LEGIONS
OBSIDIAN SPEARS RAISED ON HIGH,
COATED IN THE DRAGON'S VENOM
SHIELDS AND ARMORS
GLOWING UNDER THE CRUEL MOON
''LET THEIR SAINTED BLOOD
PAINT THE HEAVENLY SKIES
FROM THE RAINS WE SHALL DRINK
THE CRIMSON WINE OF BATTLE''
MARCHING ONWARD
INTO GLORY RIDE
BEYOND THE FIELDS
LIES OUR VICTORY
SHADOW PHALANX
ZEICRYDIAN COMMAND
IN DEFIANCE
OF GOD'S DOMINION
BEGIN OUR ASCENT
INTO THE ACREILAN MOUNTAINS
TO THE NINTH SUMMIT
WHERE THE HALLS OF ENARRIA AWAIT US
ABYSSIC SPELLS ARE UTTERED
UNDER THE FRIGID WINDS
OUR ADVANCE BECOMES ENSHROUDED
IN THE DRAGON'S BLACK BREATH
WE MUST REMAIN HIDDEN
FROM THE GAZE OF THE UNWANING TOWER
FOR IT GUARDS THE SOLE PASSAGE
LEADING TO THE SUMMIT
WHERE OUR STEEL SHALL PIERCE
THE RIGHTEOUS AEGIS OF THE GODS
INTO THE KEEP!!!!
ATTACK!!!!
ARKHONDECROS ZEICRYDE
SERPENTS ARISE FROM DEPTHS
FANTASSINS MEET AT
THE FOOTHILL OF THEIR REMPARTS
ARCHERS ON THE BULWARK
CANNOT BREAK OUR PHALANX
SEE THEIR SKIN MELTING
AS WE UTTER OUR DARKEST SPELLS!
ARKHONDECROS ZEICRYDE
THY WILL IS DONE
BATTERING RAMS RESOUND
IN CANDLELIT SANCTUMS
HOLY THRONES USURPED
AS OUR PROFANE STEEL
SMITE THEIR SERVANTS
DOWN THE MOUNTAINS
BASS SOLO : THE FOUR PRONGED SERPENT PHALANX
FUMING CARCASSES ARE SEEN
ATOP THE SUMMIT OF ACREILA
IMPALED BY TEN THOUSAND SPEARS
SHINING UNDER THE MORNING XENITH
PAWNS MASQUERADING AS WOLVES
CRUSHED BETWIXT HOOVES OF INFERNAL STEEDS
NO TIMEWORN SCRIPTURES MUST BE SPARED
BY THE FLAME OF RETRIBUTION
ALL FASCIST PIGS MUST ROT
UNDER THE SCALDING SUN
ALL POWERS MUST RETURN
TO THE PERSECUTED & THE TRUE
ALL TYRANTS MUST BE
PURGED FROM THE LANDS
TOTAL ZEICRYDIAN VICTORY!!!!

BASS SOLO 1 : HYMN OF WINDS
MYRIAD LUNAR CYCLES AGO
WHEN NATURE WAS YOUNG AND PURE
MEN & BEAST REIGNED OVER
THE EMERALD MEADOWS OF NHAATH
TO THE UNTAINTED EQUILIBRUM
OF EARTH, WATER AND SKY THEY WERE BOUND
AND THROUGH THE LAW OF FIRE
AND STEEL THEY LIVED AND DIED
ONE DAY A CRY
CAME FROM THE EMPYREAL FIRMAMENT
FOUR MESSENGERS OF THE GODS
DESCENDED ASTRIDE WHITE-GOLD STEEDS
ATRAS, ANGEL OF ORDER
EXAN, ANGEL OF ACCORD
ERAS, ANGEL OF MERCY
UTRAN, ANGEL OF FORTUNE
MEN AND BEAST WERE BLINDED BY THEIR MAJESTY
AS THEY MADE THEIR PROCLAMATION
'ALL SHALL PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO THE DIVINE LAW
ALL SHALL LIVE & DIE BY OUR WILL
ALL SHALL BATHE IN OUR RIGHTEOUS LIGHT
RAISE THY SWORDS AND HAIL THE NEW DAWN!'
''SEULE LA FLAMME ARDENTE DE LA REBELLION
SAURA ILLUMINER NOTRE SOMBRE CHEMIN
VERS LA LIBERTÉ''
BASS SOLO 2 : HYMN OF REBELLION
MYRIAD EQUINOXES HATH PASSED
OPPRESSIVE DIVINE LAWS PUT MAN AGAINST MAN
WHILE FOUR ANGELS REIGNED
OVER THE CORRUPTED MIRE OF NHAATH
BLASPHEMERS PLOTTING IN THE DEPTHS
ENCHANTING GODKILLING STEEL
WITH PROFANE PERMUTATIONS
THEIR LIMBS REDDENED BY THE SHACKLES
OF THEIR DIVINE CAPTORS
THE DRAGON HOWLED DEEP BELOW
AND THE EARTH VOMITED ITS HATRED
UNCHAINED MAN ROSE FROM THE INFERNAL WOMB
AGAINST THE FOUR IMPOSTERS
ATRAS, ANGEL OF CONQUEST
EXAN, ANGEL OF DISCORD
ERAS, ANGEL OF CRUELTY
UTRAN, ANGEL OF FAMINE
MEN & BEAST UNITED IN OPPRESSION
RECLAIMED THE JEWEL THRONE,
STAINED WITH REGAL BLOOD
CARESSED BY WINDS OF HEATHENESSE
THE MEADOWS OF NHAATH GREW EVERGREEN
A RETURN TO ANCIENT WAYS
WHERE ANGELS DARE NOT TREAD...
JE NE SERVIRAI PAS!

MUSIC & LYRICS MADE IN 2019
BASS SOLO 1 : TEARS OF HEEOS
HIS NAME WAS ATRA EAS
SPAWN OF THE DESOLATE AEON
BORNE IN THE 77TH CYCLE
TO THE RINGING OF BELLS OF THE EXXÛL
HIS MOTHER DIED AT CHILDBIRTH
LEAVING BEHIND AN ORPHAN SON
THE SERPENT GOD SHAROS SAW HIS MIGHT
AND RAISED HIM AS HIS OWN
"HEAR THE JACKALS CHANT THY NAME...
...THIRD SON OF THE SERPENT"
BAPTIZED UNDER THE MOON'S GLARE
FAR AWAY FROM HEEOS'S LIGHT
THROUGH SACRILEGEOUS BLOODRITES
HE INHERITED DIVINE IMMORTALITY
HE WAS TAUGHT THE WAY OF STEEL
A CHAMPION AGAINST HEEOS
FOREVER SLAVEBOUND TO THE WILL
OF THE INFERNAL THREEFOLD SERPENT
"RIDE INTO THE HEAVENS...
...WITH SWORD AND SHIELD IN HAND
COMMAND FORTH MY LEGIONS...
...USURP THE LIGHT OF HEEOS IN MY NAME..."
INFERNAL HORDES ASCENDED
ENDLESS BATTLES ACROSS PALLID STARS
HIS FORCES, DEFEATED, HIS SHIELD, CRACKED
HEEOS TOOK PITY OF HIM
"O WARMOTHER HEEOS, GRASP THY SWORD
AND SEVER MY SHACKLES HENCEFORTH"
HE ACCEPTED HER MOTHERHOOD
AND FOR THIS AFFRONT, SHAROS CURSED HIM
"BLOOD OF THE THIRD SON!
TRAITOROUS SEED OF THE DESOLATE AEON!
BLOOD OF THE THIRD SON!
I CAST AFLAME THY MEADOWS WITH BLACK VITRIOL!
BLOOD OF THE THIRD SON!
THE SERPENT BLADE BATHES IN THY ESSENCE!
BLOOD OF THE THIRD SON!
A THOUSAND CURSES UPON THY BLOODLINE!
BASS SOLO 2 : SEPTENTRIONAL MIGHT
REBORN IN HER EMBRACE
HE DESCENDED FROM THE STREAMING HEAVENS
HIS STEEL MET THE TRIDENT OF SHAROS
HIS FOE WAS SHATTERED, BUT SO WAS HIS SOUL
IN UNENDING SORROW, MOTHER HEEOS
REFORGED THE SWORD WITH HIS BLOOD
HIS ENCASED SOUL BOUND TO HER ESSENCE
BESTOWING IMMORTALITY ON
THOSE WIELDING THE BLADE
"HEAR THE JACKALS CHANT THY NAME...
...THIRD SON OF THE SERPENT"
"THE SWORD OF ATRA EAS...
...GIVER OF ETERNAL LIFE..."
"RECLAIMED BY WICKED MEN...
...AND THUS CEASELESS DARKNESS DESCENDED"

Words & music by Thou Art Lord, 1993
OUR BODIES OBSCURED BY THE SUN
FROM OUR BIRTH WE ARE CURSED
INVERTED IS THE LIFE WE LIVE
UNDER THE PALE GRAY SKY
BELOW THE SHADE OF THE DARK CLOUDS
VICTORY IS DRAWN IN OUR EYES
A DAWN OF A NEW ORDER WE ADORE
THE INFERNAL PRINCE WE WORSHIP
THE BALANCE OF LIFE AND DEATH
THE ICY TOUCH OF EXISTENCE
SPIT OUT THE FRUITS OF MADNESS
EXPOSE YOUR HATE, ESCAPE FROM WEAKNESS
BASS SOLO : ODE TO THE HORNED ONE
OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE
THE VEIL HAS BEEN LIFTED
THE CHAIN HAS BEEN BROKEN
OUR REIGN HAS JUST BEGUN!!

Man, this is some flat out foul death doom metal. Crushingly heavy and intimidating. The whole album oozes a thick and murky atmosphere that will leave you feeling hypoxic and catatonic. Do what you can to brace yourself against this torrent of sludge and slime. 8/10

I bought this on vinyl without knowing what I was getting into. Turned out to be one of my best "I hope it's cool" purchases ever. These guys are f'n amazing.

The Enduring Spirit
by Tomb Mold
supported by 217 fans who also own “La Grande Heresie”
Derrick manages to bring a bit of his Dream Unending urges into Tomb Mold, and with great effect. Every track on this is a winner, but "Will of Whispers" feels the most forward-thinking, mixing melody with heaviness and a near-fusion level of musicianship. My favourite modern death metal album.

If you can call a band OSDM while recognizing they’ve clearly transcended the category, then I will love that band. I love this band. Some of the best songwriting of any musical era or genre. Just masterful. Every new release is an artistic spectacle that compares with your favorite albums, musicals, or films. They’re becoming one of my all time favorites.
