about
Sleep is an exercise in songwriting focusing on tension and release within the context of the metaphorical associations related to the concept of sleep. A solo demo version of this song is on the cassette release Decollate. With the full ensemble taking on the song, I decided to write lyrics that infused the poetry of Bataille matched with some of the elements of the Acéphale group. The lines from this poem are drawn from the book: the Collected Poems of Georges Bataille, 1998. Translated and edited by Mark Spitzer.

Sleep
Lyrics: Georges Bataille

Vocals: Set Sothis Nox La
Numb
Mumbling in ineptitude
And decrepit chatter
This icy fog of man
Demand and death
Villainess inane
Detain… disdain the malignant
Sleep… Sleep…
Malign
I climb up from the sea
Sleep claws at my corpse
The grave’s horse-teeth
Chatter… Death chatter
Wheeze….
Sleep
Surging tide
Arise… Arise…
Sorcerer’s apprentice
With burning heart
Dagger in hand Strike this heart of man!
Arise…
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
With their deviant kind of Black Metal, White Ward are far away from mediocre. If you’re looking for something different and sophisticated try these guys! You won‘t be disappointed! Sælzer Bub
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
