I see the castle its eyes they peer from black raven's night
Fear inside me it grows all over my mind and it twists my sight till I
Feel a gust of dead winds it blows in my face
Fight - I fight with the steel in my sword and the pride in my heart
But is there a way out of this madness?
Has Earl Aubec finally met his doom?
In the Castle
There lies an answer to the questions
The Multiverse in the claws of law and chaos
We fight with steel for the answer yet to be told
There comes a champion!
Dead eyes they swirl and twist in the darkness before me
Cold - every step that I take is a promise of death in my heart
Tremble can I even be whom I know that I am
Virtue - a simple thought can never be wrought in a time of
Despair and misery claw from the walls around me
What spell, lies upon my mind?
In the Castle
There lies an answer to the questions
The Multiverse in the claws of law and chaos
We fight with steel for the answer yet to be told
There comes a champion!
His sword, his shield of gold
His heart drives him on his quest
The steel - shines bright for the truth
The quest for law begins at world's end
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
