lyrics

To view the world from
The inside of a glass coffin
Is worse than a gilded cage
So to speak lamentations so often
Heard from an exiled sage
The clouds swirl around the
Diminishing, dimming sun
We seek the collective solace
In the eternal dusk
The trees are barren as the cold, hard ground
Facing out the swirling sky
And reaching for the goddess
We are what we project ourselves to be
Perhaps we were betrayed by our reflections
And crippled by reality
Sleep becomes as unreachable
As the secrets within dreams
Driven mad by the endlessness
That it is never as it seems
Is this all that is left
Each corrupted by our own mortality?
Dimming like the starlight
Is death but a formality?
Entering through the portals of
Hints and ancient innuendo
Into the next doorway
As death rattles to a crescendo
Lucid dreams and meditations
To light a torch and speak
To those who tread upon this road
Of transformation that we seek

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 14 fans who also own “Somnia Malum Infinitum”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
