Through trials and tests the Knight goes forth
In darkness, through darkness, comes the ripping of the soul
The mark of blood, The Choice of Spirit
A true determined symbol of everlasting fear!
Through the maddening comes cleansing
Only the strong shall survive
Only the strong shall be taken
Through the maddening comes the purest blood
They shall find it, others will fear it, the cleansing fire of the old code
Blood shall be our path, honour shall be our way, terror shall be thy means
Embrace the fire for thou shalt surely die to be reborn
Rise from the astral to the plane of shadows
In darkness, through darkness, comes the ripping of the soul
The mark in blood, The Choice of Spirit
A true determined symbol of everlasting fear!
Taketh thy shield of detachment, lest thou forget the void
Thou art vampyr, the essence of the dragon
Your heart shall be cold but burning
They shall find thee, they will cleanse thee
By madness, by promise and by metaphor
Through madness comes the purest blood of fire
Only through fire may the best blade be forged
Through the fire comes the the cleansing
The quickening to the darker path of the Knight
Blood shall be our path, honour thy way, terror shall be our means
The power of hate shall be our blade
In the blood is the might, in the blood is the mark of terror
The strongest shall survive
Only the strong shall be taken
They shall find us, the others shall fear us!
Those of the clans shall shun thee as wolves
In darkness, through darkness, comes the quickening of the soul
Through madness and fire
Remains the purest blood
A true determined symbol, of everlasting fear
Those who dare trespass against thee
Beware the coming night for thou shalt knoweth terror!

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 22, 2020
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
