Nascent mother of night

That within the absence of light
Distant stars both aligned and in disarray
They dance in a web of disassociated matter
They are the axonal pulse of the universe
That is skewed by distance and time
From the limits of mind and eyes
Confined by limitations we will devour ourselves
Interpreted as the passing of time and ignored
Absolution, devoured, we devour ourselves
All has left the soul adrift
Shattered yet awake
Unextracted fading fragments of light
Disperse among the dead stars they emanate
All has left the soul adrift
The absence of fury will waste not through judgement
As they flood the hives destined to purge the disease
Bereaved they rise into creation
Through the blackness they were united The sun gave birth to shadow
From the silence broke the knell
To bear the rapture that befell

Serenity disappearing beyond myself
I have seen the shadows growing from what was once beheld
Behind my eyes I have entered in
The body left below the mind in disbelief
Silence manifesting no capacity to grieve
Escaping through convulsions as the warmth begins to leave
Pale is my reflection as I dance in between
The silence everlasting that has grown within
The presence so familiar has escaped me now
Final moments of farewell
To final moments disavowed
The absence resonates through every cell overwhelmed
The will to continue becomes the strength to impel

Mortal abrogation

Visions arise not from thee but though
Once dissident thoughts erased among the haze
Protruding up from the crags
This body is worn as is the soul
Left out under the sun to wilt
Without distinction this chasm within
Aligns it’s discord with the earth
Remnants benign of human existence are carried away by the tides
What is already known cannot be denied
No envy prevails for those who stand aside
Lost is the perished into wisdom
That cannot be revised
Lament will prevail to those who stand aside
A growing void invades this shell
All unity now draws asunder
A foreboding truth has awakened
An epoch of flesh is denounced

The immediate dawn emerges from night
With a clandestine guise upon it
As an extant soma of force
Such are the waves of true dominance
Such are the plagues of change in their infancies
Austere in measure of pestilence
Repulsive their instinctive will
A burgeoning scourge
The augury forms thriving from which it began
Through these mercurial states of revelation
By the hands of a grave disparity
We have invoked the beast
A detriment of nature writhing within the pits
Gaze upon nature
Rise above death
Dwell within the rapture
Moult among the flames
Menacing shadows cast upon the guise of reverence
Again revealing the acquiescence
That we all must perish one day
Time is the widow that knelt in the flowing stream of death

A Diabolic Thirst
by SPECTRAL WOUND
supported by 6 fans who also own “Mercurial states of revelation”
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 5 fans who also own “Mercurial states of revelation”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
