A Mossborn Evil

My imperial form, crawling from the moss,
a twisted aberration from the grave
a phytochronic lens seeks destruction
and I follow where I am willed to be
I have no control over my soul
I can think only woe
Compelled toward the garden's edge
Where my bones have lain for eons
I have no control over my soul
I can think only woe
A dark magick spell is thrust
Upon my brittle old bones
Let me break my bonds
Let me take control
A dark magick spell is thrust
Upon my brittle old bones

Excise this spell from my form
has it fused to my bones or the flesh that still clings to me?
A figure approaches me, enrobed in swirling void
And so I know what comes next
Grotesque self-actualizing dismemberment
Removal of my ribs to stab the mage in the head
His brain covered in shards of ivory bone
Never having guessed that this vassal would rebel
I lift my arms in freedom, in liberation
Given a second life, I am filled with eudaimonia
What shall I be?
What shall I do?
Exert dominion over this world.

Ransack The Lab
02:45

Rummaging, looting, the dead mage's scroll racks
Pilfering his drawers, racked with ichors and potions
elixirs of multifarious purpose
Maligned with the putrid stench of life
Rise from the grave my brethren
Join me as I destroy our former master's lair
Ransack the lab!
Take what you need
Or what you want
It's all free, like you
So long as you do my bidding!
(no! no! you fucking ghouls! don't rip me apart! I don't deserve this! Is freedom more important to you than loyalty? give me back my clavicle! my sternum! I needed that!)

A disembodied skull is all I am
Seated atop a tower of bones
Dragged below my realm
My throne and crown gone
May Satan let me crawl up from hell!

Blackened lots of things... death metal, heavy metal, black metal... you name it we got it
Fuck nazis and christofascists
Chiasmus recommends:
Great melodic black metal that's raw and angry. Epic while still being melancholic, this is one of the greatest black metal releases of all time

Ordainment Of Divinity
by Skeleton
This was a huge inspiration, it's just got such great riffs and groove while being fierce.

The Amethyst Fortress
by Carathis
Erech Leleth's stuff continues to be the gold standard for raw black metal and this is no different. Absolutely great riffs, keys, and drums, with song structures and melodies which make my jaw drop.
