lyrics

Staring in solitude
Down a deep, dark hallway
Moving without sound
Casting not even a shadow
A revenant of the living
Amongst the souls of the unhallowed
An undone wraith to
Contaminate the world of perfection
Such melancholy that lacks
The stride of direction
Communicated, imperfect thoughts,
To bring the plague of infection
A soul that is never satisfied
Consumed by emptiness
Never to be completed,
Sabotaged by pettiness
His hunger fed by disillusionment,
And unraveled by transgression
In a shelter for the dead
Surrounded by his possessions
This is what it is to be undead
This the fate of an altered soul
To wither in consumption
And need to control
The dead do not haunt us
Unto this world unforgiving,
We are possessed by our own devils,
And haunted by the living.
Mourning for a loss
That had never materialized
Clinging to a lie
Never actually realized
Mourning for a time that never was,
Living on graves
Reaching for the word of he
Who never was.

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 “Wraith”

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
