lyrics

Into the moonless night I spit forth the venom of thy spell
A curse unto the adversary, whose essence shall wither away
...And so shall the Rose of Purity, wither away

I am the freezing touch which takes life away
I am the one who's soul is unclean
A master of dreams, awakened to the night
I haunt the astral and reap the mortal life

Through the moonlight's mist
I come to your soul
And beseech you with the kiss
Of bitterness and woe

Below the Earth I dwell
In lust for the crimson sin
As the Rose of Purity withers to ash
I remember the taste, of blood in my mouth

Veiled by the night
I enter your soul
Which withers from the purity I defile
I am the dreams of lust and desire
A demon of sins of the flesh
Cold as the winter's breath, infernal as the forbidden wine

The virgin flesh of a maiden, like the flowering white rose
Defiled by the lust which hungers, penetrated in a thirst for sin
To be one with darkness, I transcend

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 14 fans who also own “The Withering Rose of Purity”

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-
