MALLEUS PHILOSOPHORUM (2020)
Segundo larga duración para este combo estadounidense que aúna en su sonido influencias muy clásicas dentro del black metal de origen europea de los años noventa pero con un componente de oscuridad que se cierna sobre todo el conjunto llegando en un primer momento a dejar descolocado al oyente en cuanto a la procedencia de la banda. Los seis temas suenen pesados y densos, manteniendo un pulso entre los riffs y la ambientación de las secciones más clásicas del black metal, con un batería que muchas veces reproduce un ritmo lento que ayuda a completar un conjunto de profundidad que emana de este álbum. Los riffs algunas veces se centran en ofrecer un plano más melódico, sobre todo en segundo plano, y cunado la música cobra mayor velocidad comienzan a hacer acto de presencia un doble bombo que se solapa con las guitarras ofreciendo un muro de sonido bastante potente. Acertados cambios de ritmo se suceden, manteniendo siempre la intensidad en la música, con unas voces de procedencia oscura, densa y agresiva que sólo deja lugar para una atmosfera lúgubre con un fuerte componente ocultista, que sin llegar a ser asfixiante si que está muy lograda, ofreciendo un equilibrio entre los sonidos más clásicos, cierta oscuridad y el componente ocultista que hace que este álbum sea capaz de llevar al oyente a comienzos de los noventa. (8.4).
1. Gott mit uns? 04:19
O, to breathe in vitriol And exhale irony to be mocked by your most beloved Even in death
The simulacrum is cracked Until you can learn to act As a Christian
To be hated by the most hated
Your blackened soul stained with ignorance to be seen as equal To that which you loathe
I'd love to see you burned By your holy ghost
"GOTT MIT UNS!"
Speak the ones who'd kill you where you stand
"GOTT MIT UNS!"
Against your shrieking blasphemy, they stand
"GOTT MIT UNS!"
Esoteric hatred? Mystic blackened arts?
For all of this, and more; It's kill or be killed by your idols
Your "heil" stuck in your throat As you're choking on holy bread
Your salute eternally met With the promise of a swift death
Peripherals of a blind man Abhorring cognition
Until you're made the scapegoat For your cause to reach it's end
"GOTT MIT UNS!"
Speak the ones who'd kill you where you stand
"GOTT MIT UNS!"
Against your shrieking blasphemy, they stand
"GOTT MIT UNS!"
Esoteric hatred? Mystic blackened arts?
For all of this, and more by your "savior", abhorred
2. Amor Fati 06:19
You, the would-be devourer of all but your distorted reflection
You, the candle to my howling wind
Eternal, the prickled jester
Again, the thorned fool
Held in the pillory of ages
These jeers echo forever
You, the deer before my blazing high beams
Once for good measure, then circle back 'round again
Eternal, the prickled jester
Again, the thorned fool
Held in the pillory of ages
A destiny fit for your hatred
A portrait of hideous idiocy
On a loose nail above the hearth
Your God has resigned to suicide
And granted you recurring hatred
Seed of Narcissus, banished to obscurity
In a chamber of carnival mirrors
Ageless resolve
Denier of all
Be granted flame to the coals on which you fall
Let the heavens grant no relief
Amor fati
And to all apologists
Scraping through the ashes
Searching for the melody which excuses it all
That search will go on and on
Such work will be tiring and relentless
For all time
3. Hope Against Hope 05:03
This fiction of the "hard" life
It's captured you, by design
When every move runs counter
You're enslaved by your own spite
Claims of freedom gain no traction
When every step is a reaction
So I'll hear no cry of rebellion
When you signal your transgression
Hope against hope
You may come to see
Each breath in response
Cannot be free
Hope against hope
That you cease to breathe
Every move in reaction
It cannot be...
Hope against hope
You may come to see
A living retaliation
Cannot be free
Every molecule crumbled fills me with glee
4. Towards Suphur Sepulchres 05:53
O, hatred!
I accept you for all that you are
And consume you as a fuel
To curse every parasite
Co-opting craft to create war
Craving their own personal Canaan
Fabricating an idol from manure
A vain attempt to bless such vile bloodlust
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their names from under heaven
I accept such folk for all that they are
Cultural vampires
Chained to the fallacy of tradition
Lurking in a bastion of sand
As the tide rolls in
Let the heavens shine on thee
To become what you are meant to be
Ashes crumbling into the sea
I accept you for who you are
A stain on the fabric we weave
A blight for which I shall not grieve
On the day you cease to breathe
5. Death's Evangelist 05:30
Awakened to a silent Armageddon
Why choose to blaspheme when the lord's bloodlust matches that of thee
Taken to the n'th degree
Identity made manifest
You're death's evangelist
Don't stand in the light when the curtain falls
Such art was not crafted for you to devolve
It is guided by the unrelenting resolve
Of those who push past What their heritage calls
Don't stand in the light when the curtain calls
Such art was not crafted for you to devolve
It is guided by the unrelenting resolve
Of those courageous few who always rebel without pause
How convenient for thee
Your so-called rebellious streak
Aligns with whoever tramples the weak
Such adversity will not be claimed by thee
And it won't be given for free
Hatred manifest
You're death's evangelist
6. Eden Doesn't Know 08:14
Eden couldn't know
Whether they tend to the fruit
Or choose to consume
It's the garden they refute
Eden doesn't know
Eden couldn't know
Well it's subjugation you choose
In this binary morality
You were made to lose
To violate every rule, is to be led by them too
Eden doesn't know
Eden couldn't know
I know you'll keep singing those praises
Your cowardly inspiration
But when you flow with the current
And pose as aberrant
Be sunk by their righteous indignation
Those who chose to be free
Whose hearts cannot be deceived
Who knowingly will receive
This malice flowing from thee
