lyrics

I leapt from the upper room
At the apex of the temple of our most high god,
Licked by the tongues of the flames
Set upon the souls
Of a few more deluded evangelists.
We tumble to the same fate,
Sundry paths to the same scorched end.

Come, children of Abraham!
Bastard brood of Isaac and Ishmael:
The grave's besotted concubines.
Our blood the same,
Spilled in field or desert sun,
Or on the streets of gold
I tumble toward below.

Oh, damnation!
Bitter marrow of my bones,
Calling fire unto flame.
In the beginning,
Carved into my pliant soul,
So now it shall be done.

Regret, stretching moments into days,
Life had only just begun.
We have become
As a mist in the morning sun.

Our father,
From the heavens we fall —
Toward our terrible
Inheritance.
I could not keep my brother,
The other could not keep your law,
And here we spiral together
At the end of this ancient dance.
Will we be but blood and ash,
A slurry of the damned,
Or does some respite
Shine up through the cracks at last?
Condemnation —
Can your legacy
Be ever broken,
This heritage of death?
Condemnation…

about

Laement Los Angeles, California

While Læment are undeniably an extreme metal band, their music resists easy pigeonholing. Traces of influence from Paradise Lost through Tom Petty appear in their diverse yet coherent debut, Holy Man. Thematically, the record deals with civilizational hubris, intimate loss, and broken fundamentalism, providing a timely examination of the fissured façade of the West. ... more

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 5 fans who also own “Calling Fire Unto Flame”

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74

Another gem from Northern Silence Productions, Aussie one-man act Fathomage delivers relentlessly one full-length a year since 2018. This one is again an amazing atmospheric BM extremely well-crafted composition, suffice to listen to the first 12 min of the album, i.e. the first track, to be fully immersed in a mystical Tolkien's journey... but modern, dark ambient elements make it stand out from the baseline! Highly recommended!! sachavonkarl74
