From the dawn of the cosmos - we are cursed
We are the blackened children of Utumno
We bear no names no titles
Sworn unto the dark against the light
But in silence, I pray
In unspoken words
'Ere the day we march
Neath the whips of our masters
But is there no god?
Is there no penance?
The burning of steel
The wreathing of flesh
By the fires of Mordor
As the eye watches me
We march to the farlands
Do we even know why?
My face clasped in steel
But in silence, I pray
In unspoken words
'Ere the day we march
Neath the whips of our masters
But one day may come
When mutants arise
From the whips of our masters
We'll break free
Far beyond the raven lands
We burn the cities ash to ash
A thousand flaming torch of ire
With teeth of death the putrid gnash
Once we were the first to live
Stolen far away from home
Burn them, steal them, with black blades shiv
With one
I will break free
When the moon has set for the sun
And the wars have been fought for the one
I crawl back into the lands
Into the pits from whence I came

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74

Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly engaging. I'm listening to this and looking out the window at snow falling -what could be more perfect?
An incredible record; highly recommended. It's truly beautiful, and that's not a word I often use for metal, but this is powerful stuff. somethingsomething9

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
