The glories of blind eyes
And the radiance of your dead sons
Shuddering beneath the mass of vanity
Bereft of esteem
The withering began inside
Spread to the limbs
Consternation
Angering the sun
The earth herself
Violence constellates, the swells reach every shore
Destroyed in splendor
And swallowed into mire
Seasons of ruination
Open their bodies and place inside them fire
The smoke seeps through the pores and rot of skin,
Then ascends
A greeting to the daughter
A monument to the weight of emptiness
This sounds exactly how I want black metal to sound. I have spent a long time searching for it but this is precisely what I was looking for. homocarbonis
This is my favorite release by a criminally underrated American black metal project. The astonishing musicianship (this was a one-person band), the way the dense howl of vocals and strings contrast with the spacey 80s Joe Hisaishi keys, the unusual and endlessly creative ways the drum machine is utilized - there's still nothing quite like Petrychor, even now. I've listened to 'Planets Born of Human Ash' a hundred times and the percussion still blows my mind.
Cheers, and thanks for the music. Vintage Devilry
The Alberta crushers hold tight to their rank, astral-gazing grindcore, staring down abyssal torment all the while. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 31, 2020
