He can not subsist on the meager satisfaction
He extorts from bleak reality
He must seek the uttermost distraction
The murder and abolishment of mediocrity
Of his creation, this universe
Is merely a faint and paling shadow
For a man is what he sees
And his eyes are blazing with fire
He will not reason, his principles carved in stone
He found his purpose apart from common decree
He will commend the brute usurper of the throne
The potent force coming to ravage the static and weak
Doomsayer
Tongue sharp like a dagger
In a state on the brink of madness
Soothsayer
Spitting words like deadly arrows
Piercing a target very few can see
He is prepared for the massive collapse
He will hail the bloodshed and the disease
And he will wander into the heart of darkness
Bound for salvation, for there is no return
He has broken all barriers and cracked the shell
The vengeful grin on his face was the last bid of farewell
Of his creation, this universe
Is merely a faint and paling shadow
For a man is what he sees
And his eyes are blazing with fire

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
