lyrics
all be still
for our honoured guide
who assails
the heirs collecting
this august reign
seen anew
unread and unknown
the lair of the flame
be still in shadow
the lair of the flame
the platitudes of written faith
left unread to quell the memoried words
the tower remnants standing
to reign, withdrawn and redrawn
lair of the flame
deigned to a dead cell
in parts lain low
I shall honour you
as you watch over
undetermined
a figure known to toll
lair of the flame
deigned to a dead cell
interminably watching
over
unread within
known to the wordless mouths
unread within
the figure standing
in solid shape I say, it is so
in lair of the flame
You know that point where you have consumed perhaps just a little too much of your chosen intoxicate. That's this album.
Fucking heavy!!! Obstacle of Affliction
Magnus-Lindberg-mastered post-metal in the vein of The Moth Gatherer and co., but with spacey Ison-ish aesthetics. Has a nice fuzzy chunk in the middle to provide some respite. Not really treading unexplored grounds, but no misstep either. Alice M.
A ferocious display of blackened stoner-doom from Moscow's Moanhand, who offsets moments of bleak ugliness with clean, haunting melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2021
Seattle band Adzes craft sludgy dirges with elements of noise rock, post-metal and shoegaze, united by a staunch moral compass. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2020
A diverse offering with some excellent guest appearances and probably equal in greatness to any metal album released this year.
The Obsolete has an old Gojira vibe and for me that wins 100% of the notes ever played every time.
