Perdition is strongly based around the written œuvre of Georg Trakl. His poetry, steeped in passion and transcendence is highly recommended. Here we look at the human condition, being drawn into our pyre, looking out over our graves, need this execution be our extinction? Shall we choose this perdition at our feet? Night quickly falls into our burial urns.
lyrics
Perdition
Mankind drawn within the jaws of fire
A roll of drums
Blood red eucharist
Ravens plash in gory gutters
Carrion scented funeral procession.
Perdition
Bells tolling the flight of murder
Black birds lament from barren branches
Night falls into burial urns
An empty grave languid with death
How dark this endless night
Against a countenance of crimson flame
Blood red wound, a darkened chamber
Sweet breath of decay
Perdition
Bells tolling the flight of murder
Black birds lament from barren branches
Night falls into burial urns
Black dew drips from barren willows
Black blood runs from the throat
At our feet, the graves of the dead
Open to our future, our perdition
(Filled with festering sighs, facing our open graves)
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
