The sirens call me
Consumed by their gaze
Cold dead eyes
Look upon my face
With words unholy
To tempt my stay
Feed on passions
The heart decayed
See me
Hear me
Of flesh and bone
Our masks adorned
Veils in our palms
Like daggers they cut
Bloodied bodies sing
Left for our worship
See Me
Hear Me
Of flesh and bone
Our masks adorned
So fair, clear void
Cancer brushed gold
False idols consume
Watching, waiting
Stalking, preying
Offer my body
To altars of glass
Emptied husks
In ardent lust
Nameless, barren
Devour en masse
Wretched hives
Controlling vines
Piercing every thought
Drag me back
Through fires of woe
Burning doubt
And discord
I will consume

Take my body
Torn asunder
From mind and soul
Left to wander
Lifeless walks
Alone I falter
Amongst the rot
The vultures hunger
My eyes burn heavy
With blinding envy
At burning effigies
And depraved breviaries
Nameless faces
Writhing weightless
Gorge on flesh
Calm and wasted
Witness in stasis
Bodies complicit
Forsaken
Isolated
Desecration
Dissipated
The leeching desperation
Radiating division
Under the pale sun
Nothing is sacred
I am not here
I have become
Distant in thoughts
Watching from afar
All that I want
I am not here

Altars Of Glass

I will consume one thousand voices
All gnawing their tongues in agony
With blasphemies to wage war
As my flesh adorns their static throne
I will drink from the cup of fury
Standing over seas of glass
Glowing with fires
That burn the images of idolatry
Whoever has eyes
Let them see
Spirits are damned
To chambers
Of echoes
And egos
To wither
In slumber
And worship
Eternal
Shameless perfection
Distorted projections
Monuments erected
Resemble hubris
Blessed are the sick
Who have tasted sin
And revel in vain
Dissonance
Blessed are the sick
I will consume one thousand voices
I will drink from the cup of fury
As my flesh adorns their static throne
Whoever has eyes
Let them see

Fraying ends of time
Wrap around my mind
Under a false guise
Disciples are blind
Willful suffering
Distorted permanence
Lie throughout our lives
Unstable binds
Let go
Release
Fade away and cease to be
Spiral down through entropy
Disembodied dwindling
Separate totality
Death escapes me
Ripping at the seams
The abyss stares at me
Keep your head down
Don’t make eye contact
Maintain your focus
On the light below
Echoes grow louder
Fissures start to form
Witness it splinter
And expose the storm
Stagnation
Damnation
Craving
Salvation
This too shall pass
Through shards of glass
Dead hand of the past
Holds me back
The cycles torment
Every waking moment
Dead hand of the past
Holds me back
Lost in stillness

Ridiculously good album. You can follow any instrument and witness godlike perfection in terms of atmosphere and vision. Bass is unbelievable. Put this on your headphones and take a walk through city at night and experience some outer world magic. One of the best metal albums of the decade.

Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact.

Pressure Mine

Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic.
