about
Last Will is a poem by Friedrich Nietzsche from the collection Dithyrambs of Dionysus, 1984. Translated and edited by R.J Hollingdale. I chose a selection from the writings of Nietzsche for a song that would match the concept of Sovereignty that Laure and Bataille held. I believe that this piece characterizes the ideas that influenced them both.
The opening lines that accompany the metal portion of the song are the from Georges Bataille’s Le Coupable, 1944 (Guilty) which was translated by Bruce Boone in 1988. They open the book, which was written just after Laure had passed (1938) and seem an excellent counter point to Nietzsche’s poem.

Drinking heavily from sky’s thunder
Heart shattered by lightning
Stars fall from the sky…
I lapped up the lightning
Burst into laughter
Heart bursting with lightning
Drinking heavily from sky’s thunder
Stars fall from the sky…

So sterben,
wie ich ihn einst sterben sah,
den Freund, der Blitze und Blicke
göttlich in meine dunkle Jugend warf:
mutwillig und tief,
in der Schlacht ein Tänzer,
unter Kriegern der Heiterste,
unter Siegern der Schwerste,
auf seinem Schicksal ein Schicksal stehend,
hart, nachdenklich, vordenklich:
erzitternd darob, daß er siegte,
jauchzend darüber, daß er sterbend siegte:
befehlend, indem er starb,
und er befahl, daß man vernichte...
So sterben,
wie ich ihn einst sterben sah:
siegend, vernichtend...
……………….
So to die,
As once I saw him die,
The friend who like a God
Cast glances of lightning into my dark youth:
Wanton, profound,
In the slaughter a dancer,
Of fighters the cheerfullest,
Of victors the sternest,
A destiny standing upon his destiny,
Firm, reflecting, preflecting:
Trembling with joy of victory,
Rejoicing that he died in victory:
By dying, commanding,
and he commanded destruction…
So to die,
As once I saw him die:
Victorious, destroying…
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
When it comes to the "atmosphere" in "atmospheric black metal", this release probably succeeds the most in making me feel like i exist within this universe of music. domfabio
Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert
