THE ETERNAL ECLIPSE - 15 YEARS OF SATANIC BLACK METAL (2007)

Si tenemos en cuenta los temas incluidos en este trabajo no podemos estar hablando ni micho menos de un recopilatorio al uso. Los tres primeros temas son canciones inéditas grabadas de la sesión Goatcraft Torment, las dos siguientes se han publicado previamente en la EP Demonrape, la 6 y la 7 se han publicado previamente en el álbum split con Beastcraft y en el tributo a Von, y ya para finalizar los dos últimos temas son versiones de ensayo de canciones de Arma Christi. El sonido es marca de la casa, con una producción más que correcta y sobre todo con un gran trabajo a la guitarra, mediante riffs apoteosicos tanto en los momentos más underground en los cuales deben mucho al rock, como en las partes más rápidas y despiadadas en donde suenan a puro black. En cuanto a la batería, que siempre fue un punto a tener en cuenta en la formación suena más que increíble, incluso por momentos se antoja un tanto death. Hay quien pueda criticar este lanzamiento por las pocas novedades que ofrece, pero considero que es más que suficiente esas tres canciones inéditas incluidas como legado de una época en la cual se estaba forjando el estilo de la banda.

THROUGH THICK FOG TILL DEATH (2003)

Otro escalón más en la carrera del grupo, con un sonido apabullante y en donde la velocidad aumenta de manera considerable. Las guitarras suenan mucho más rápidas con un aumento de la distorsión también considerable, la batería aunque parezca mentira también se le ha sumado un punto de velocidad y en cuanto a la voz se desgañita más que nunca aumentando también el todo agresivo. Las guitarras por momentos recrean riffs de orientación tharh pero lo que esta claro es que dejan un sensación de frialdad y violencia en el oyente. El aspecto en el cual se nota una mayor evolución es en de la voces, si las guitarras suponen ya un paso adelante el de las voces desempeña una labor importante para situar este ábum en un lugar por encima de la media. Trondr Nefas (R.I.P. 2012), logra unos registros que hielan la sangre del oyente con una agresividad y violencia nunca antes conocida en el grupo. Otro buen trabajo de black metal  que aunque no supone nada que no se haya hecho antes si hay que reconocer que es un trabajo que sigue los patrones establecidos y supone un trabajo muy disfrutable.

1. 666 00:47  

2. Possessed (Raped by Evil) 02:29

  Feel it nesting inside you

Taking control

Something else in charge of your

Body and soul

Be aware of the mirror

Of what you might see

This thing inside

Will never set you free

You're riding on the wave

Of the supreme Satanic pain

Death would be a sweet relief

From this harsh internal rape

Immense pain boiling under

Your skin

As if demons rush through

Your veins

Insane on pain (fear)

You're demon now

3. Raise the Symbols of Satan 06:21

  Upon mankind weakness I choose not to follow

The tragic book of lies don't tempt my soul hollow

Upon the cross you wear I see your thousand fears

The churches burn tonight, so cry your searing tears

Lust for death

Flesh for the beast, Satanic feast

On the unholy election I am the chosen one

I must collect the five triangles

Of the sharp edged pentagram

It's our deadly weapon through war and desecration

Support our gruesome terror and sadistic violence

Lust for death

Flesh for the beast, Satanic feast

I choose to bear this burden

Upon mankind's funeral

Oh hear the discord of doom is near

Riding the damnation march

When stars hide their fire and the moon is dead

My soul of dark desire, my time has come for carnage

Triangles five fulfill me

Two horns inflames the night

The devil sears inside me

I have unlocked the gate of Hell

4. Invasion 08:23

 Invasion storming through the land

Invasion coming from the coast

Invasion coming through the air

Invasion everywhere

Can you hear the bells of Armageddon Tolling?

Feel the end is near, holocaust is coming

Motorized death machines probe the soil

Destroying everything is its way

Armies of insame soldiers kills on command

Raping the old bitch mother earth

See the dead bodies lying rotting on the ground

Hear the alarm of war, it's the devils sound

The metal birds on dead wings are coming

Hear the sound of messerschmith-death

So run for cover cowards or stand and fight

For the glory of your land

...The glory of Hell

...And the invasion probes the soil

5. Through Thick Fog Till Death 04:06

  In the years of grace

Under the gods feeble command

A holy crusade chased the soil

For salvation and incarnation

The poor man who didn't believe

The poor words of resurrection

He who felt the justice of gods hand

The same man were killed upon the cross

In the course of the years they haunted the shores

To convince others doubt

But far and away in the shadows

Were the creatures

No single man had ever seen, but feared lurking

It turned out to be their last steps on mother earth

As the woods turned dark

They gathered for the night

A bleak fog glides (so silent) through

It was like the whole world just opened up beneath them

Every man and woman, children, priests and nuns

Were slain by a vehement force

It was something so dark you couldn't imagine

So dark that you would die just know it

It damned them all forever

It was the swing of Satan's sword

Who devoured their waspish wail

Into the rotting forest of Urgehal

Through thick fog till death

6. Mirror Satan 04:22   

Totally alone I wander by each pillars of hell

Sunken deep beyond the devil waves

Blessed be hellfire and royal satanic dwell

Possessed and vanished

Into the darkness of pentagram caves

Invocation, desecration and ritual conjuring of the goat

Oh father, lick my blood that from my cuts deep float

It's 666 paths to almighty father Satan

Becoming the crooked waves on the horror sea

Purveyor of unholy blasphemic light

Just what almighty Satan wants me to be

By the nocturnal shores the angels screams and dies

With hundred and thirteen tons of might

Our destroyer strikes

And quiet the choir sung

The cordial satanic cipher

Mirror Satan, hail Satan

Mirror Satan, hail Satan

Now when I've usurped the Satanic hell drive cult

Watching and commanding

From my black throne of thousand Christian skulls

It's just the beginning of everlasting murder and insult

So it became, now the reflection is the same

As I kneel down, do the sign and pray

Almighty father Satan, I am now your left hand

For you I will obey and this in hells ever domain

I will never regret now when the curse and the circle is set

Mirror Satan, hail Satan

Mirror Satan, hail Satan

7. Satanic Deathlust 05:50

The hair on my arms rise and my skin turns pale

My heart pounds infernal and my penis erects

In these silent hours as I think of you

The feeling is the same as when I killed you

My mind was in a haze, intoxicated

Your were the chosen so my visions told me

By each read line from the unholy bible

The urge for death grew too strong to resist

So I chanted the demons from the underworld

To possess my soul

To grant me the power, strength, will and courage

To take the final step

I found you by the river under a pale moon

Your spellbinding beauty were of another world

And the look you gave me with those steel-blue eyes

Spellbound my soul and set my heart afire

But still I found the power and will to rape you twice

And slit your throat, sacrifice your unpure corpse

To master Satan

Your were the key to my last journey

My portal form earth onto the flaming threshold of hell

(The key) to enter the realm death, hell

But still I am here as a mortal in despair

Though countless sluts has suffered my wrath

To complete my sacrificial ritual

(But) of all the bloody faces, you are the one

I remember

No single starlit night has passed

Since I pured your death

Without you haunting my dreams and sodomize my soul

Your death became my curse

Haunted by immense nightmares

Filled with bestial fear

Drowned in necro-sorrow

Possessed with infernal blasphemy

8. Dead Cold December 07:41

 Thirteenth of December a night of full moon darkness

A empty dead world sigh in the silence

Mesmerizing magic Luna mirrors herself in my eyes

On the edge of sanity depths of cruelty

Dead cold December embrace me bold

Dead cold December possess my soul

It drove me closer to Hell, further from heaven

Dreaming high on mushroom madness

The flames dances, trees around me whispers

This forest fades to grey decay

Dark void illusion, this a nigh is my nearest

Dark void illusion, this night is the dearest

Ritual, I evoke thy evil spirit

Sacrifice, the shepherdess decorates my altar

Ghastly skin I caress

Dead cold December grace

A mixture of lust and death teases my senses

A quite weird smell indeed

I effuse my seeds and negative hormonal energy

A necrophilic invocation of lustful passion

Another winter to come

On different ground

Surrounded by hells fire

Subterranean desire

9. Død, Død Og Atter Død 06:17

Du har aldri før følt en slik ensomhet Som den dagen gud forlot deg Stakkars menneske der du vandret I kaoset All mening og håp visnet etter åpenbaringen (Satan skal voldta deg til evig tid i helvete) Englene fra himmelen brakte kun dod Og elendighet med seg Guds lovord var spyttet ut av en forgiftet tunge (Mens din mor ser på og kveles i sin egen latter) Det fines ikke lenger noe godt her i verden Og det fines ikke lenger noe håp on lik på denne jord Så kjenn smarten når Satan river ballene av deg Og føl frykten når helvete hamrer på din dør Satan skal voldta deg til evig tid i helvete Mens din mor ser på og kveles i sin egen latter

10. Supreme Blasphemy 04:40

  Grim satanic blessing

To all the sons of hell (Satan)

Strive to see the blood of Jesus flow

All hail the grand unholy lord supreme

Join our war against the fucking feeble

Kill them all and burn their fucking churches

Drink their blood and smell the flaming fire

Emancipate your hellish vile desire

We shall spare a few

And make them leave their fucking holy god

We'll shit them in their face, still they will love us

As sexual slaves of hell they all shall serve

Gather around the blood-red pentagram

Sacrifice the fucking Christian slut

Chant the magic rites of necronomicon

Together we shall fuck the virgin dead

You shall see our wrath

As we sodomize Maria

And you shall feel our hate

As we strangle you all

Crush their crucifix

And desecrate their fucking holy graveyard

Summon the dead

Then emancipate your necrolust

Enjoy your loverly orgy with the dead

Revel in the blood of a thousand Christians

Run barefoot in the (glowing) ashes of their churches

Celebrate our vile satanic triumph

The night shall come

When the hammer of Satan rise

And with infernal power

It shall smash the skull of Christ!

11. Mankind Murder 05:44

 In decadent darkness I grew black wings

Wings of Destruction, a sign of devastation

My ripping claws itched to scar and slice

In infested flesh through the soil of death

Open the ten thousand coffins

Reveal the power of the dim tempting deeps

Sight so far, yet so close

Lurking so gloom, emerge throughout doom

As a discord wave of a massive violating noise

I rise destitute for abomination

Join my quest to live life over tuned

Forever connected to the bounds of suicide control

Enter a new supreme time

Filter the weakness which lies within mankind

Creating the ultimate machine

With flesh, with blood, and misanthropic discipline

MASSIVE TERRESTRIAL STRIKE (1998)

Si Arma Christi los situó en un lugar destacado dentro de las bandas de black metal, este Massive Terrestrial Strike los acaba por asentar definitivamente en el lugar que merecen dentro de la escena. Su sonido sigue sonando impresionante, cualquier seguidor de Bathory o Darkthrone sabrá de lo que hablo, pero es que ahora se notan mucho más maduros a la hora de manejar lo tempos de los temas y suenan increíblemente bien. El mejor sonido que logran sacar a esta grabación no hace más que conseguir que el oyente pueda disfrutar de unos riffs endiablados, de unas voces rasgadas y desesperadas así como el inconmensurable trabajo de las batería, todo ello se logra también gracias a un mayor cuidado de los detalles, incluso por momentos bajan la velocidad de los temas para recrearse en pasajes más lentos de puro black a base de majestuosos riffs. Lástima de su corta duración, ya que este álbum resulta una pieza muy inspirada, aunque la carrera de la banda dará para otros grandes momentos. (8,3)

1. The Sodomizer 04:45

  Torture, slavery, molesting, endless pain

You'll feel them all scum, as you bow down before me

Feel my whip as it shreds the skin of your back

Making your blood stream, out of your wide open wounds

I'm your ruler, you're a fly to my face

A plague for me, i've got to get rid of you

I'm no beast, i'm worse than a beast

Therefore i'll sodomize you like i've sodomized the fluffy sheeps of god

Sodomizer! The fucking sodomizer!

2. The Saturnine Denomination 04:59  

 For distant centuries ago

When long forgotten kingdoms and reigns still existed

Our clandestine denomination probed the face of the earth

And discovered the entrance

Our knights entered the passage

Entered another dimension

Stronger and violently powerful

With awe, they looked upon the mighty fortifications

of the pandemonium

His fortress

he granted them

Wisdom...

Immortality...

and prophecy

Now the mortal descendants of this proud ancient people

Seek annihilation of those weak in mind

Of those who defile the soil with their existence

Those who give their souls to Jesus Christ

Steathly entrada success

Wipe the jewish mess

Fucking zionist disciples

Semite rabid rabbi

I exceed excessive pain for you

In one swift stroke the new order of knights

Will seize those who are true anathema

Their shrieks of agony and beseechment for their lives

Will be long remembered as the day of triumph among us, when the new

order has banished them all

To cold void vacuum

And they are truly betrayed by their pity god

Then a new prosperous era will begin, and a powerful empire will be built

The prophecy of a forthcoming millenium

3. Supreme Evil 06:49

  Riding on the waves of a hundred souls pain

he does.

He rape the pure thoughts

of those fucking christians

And he penetrates the pure cunts

Of those delicious little nuns

He feast upon their fear of darkness

And he arouses himself in their woe

4. Image of the Horned King 05:40

Slumbering through the burning desert, total lack of liquid

Oh gods of this place, please bring me thy vine

I could almost drink the blood of Jesus

I would dry his veins until he fell down in a pile of skin

I fell down out of exhaustion, my face met the ground my mouth was filled with sand

And my skin was boiling from the sun

The vultures stared circling above me, I was almost ready to give my body to the birds of doom

Lay myself to rot in the burning sand fields, I was dying....

...but then, a mighty dark shape rised before me and gave me shelter from the sun

It was a god - the god of them all, and indeed he had brought a bottle of vine... the blood of himself

He spoke a distant language and granted me the bottle

I received it with my shivering pale hands... I drank the vine, and as I steadily came to myself

The god slowly vanished with the dust, except that of him which he had left in the bottle.

5. Tellus Død/Armageddons Svøpe 02:02

en himmel fylt av de sterkestes sjeler som fra tellus dro hvileloest maa de sveve i evigheten i denne dimension finnes ikke lenger noe sted aa hvile paa bare kulde-tomhet - stillet -evig doemt til aa svee i moerke- da armageddon la sin haand over jorden da armageddon foldet ut sin haand 

6. Apocalyptic Destruction 06:41

...what if, Milleniums ago a dying sphere bursted into a galactic explosion, and left a hole in space Every single piece of the sphere made a rain of meteors and took it's own course ...one of them towards earth Sands of time and vast dimensions away from earth The meteors sourced through space at infernal speed While the ages on our planet swept along like the oceans In our second millenium a "prophet" discovered a galactic meteor It had entered our galaxy, and would soon hit the earth The humans was facing destruction, the whole world was in chaos No man of astrologic knowledge has (ever before) discovered this gigantic nova Who would bring us the apocalypse, all time was lost, nothing could be done Who would ever believe a piece of stone from space would Be our last grasp of view before our lids would be shut forever Every single humanbeing faced the sky (in disbelief and shock) When the meteor entered the atmosphere Then destroyed the earth and killed all with a massive terrestrial strike 

7. Flames of Black Candles 05:47  

 This darkness, so slumb (and) this atmosphere, my hands were numbed

The only movement was the flames of black candles

Who cleansed the air in this chamber of death

My head was slunt as I gazed into the flaming candles

Visions filled my mind

Visions of a rising desecrated power

In this chamber of death, black roses grew

Up from the ashes of souls who lost for my lust and desire

There they will stand as a monument for victory

Over our christian annhilation

ARMA CHRISTI (1997)

Primera puesta de largo de los noruegos que no ofrecen un sonido muy bueno para los tiempos que corrían y un sonido que no logra alejarse del todo de la alargado sombra de sus compatriotas Darkthrone. Su sonido es bastante crudo pero se las arreglan para sonar al mismo tiempo limpios con una claridad instrumental a la altura de una producción muy currada para la época y el estilo. En este álbum se cimentó la presumible carrera solida y de larga duración de un grupo que aunque en este trabajo no ofrecía nada nuevo si es cierto que en su ritmo comedido ofrecen lo esperado dentro del género, sin sorpresas. Una base de guitarra, bajo y batería que dan forma a las composiciones de manera magistral, pero sobre todo en el aspecto vocal se logra una crudeza compositiva que por momentos hasta puede parecer arrogante. Buena piedra de toque para un grupo que en futuras publicaciones se ganaron un hueco en la historia del black. (8,4).

1. Blood Hunt 03:46

  The coffins are closed

When the daylight shines

On the freezing stones

Of this castle

The coffins lie deep

Into the Crypts

Of it's darkest halls

Past dungeons and narrow walls

This is the home 

Of the majestic counts

Many milleniums

They have lived with immortality

Streaming in their veins

Feeding on human blood

As a source 

To their delightful existence and beauty

Feared as the plague

Their wings across the land 

And sets of into the night

Searching for a victim 

Rich of precious blood

Blood Hunt

...the coffins are opened...

2. The Night Armageddon Comes 08:27

When the sun is half covered by the moon The time is ticking fast towards destruction Fires of the deep will burn all holy And the moon will eclipse the sun forever The christians will suffer the apocalypse Humanity will be an extinged race The abyss will rise from the soil And hell on earth will become reality When Armageddon has reached it's full point The sun suffers a total eclipse The christians will suffer the apocalypse Humanity will be an extinged race And the planet will be invalved by a new life A life risen from the abyss A life strong of hate, strong of hate The days fade into darkness and exist no longer The colours that used to be withered into a sea of chaos Everything is dead When the night armageddon comes  

3. Embraced by Cold 07:21

  In this rotting forest

In this eternal darkness

Where we see, hear and feel

See the naked bodies 

Hear the moaning voice

Feel the cold breath

Three senses that will forever last

Orgies to satisfy our souls

Precious skin so ghastly, so smooth

No heating blood, forever cold

Them I penetrate like knives of the night

Screams of derisious, orgasm of the satisfied

Sexual lust and pleasure, it's no release

No rest embraced by cold

4. The Eternal Eclipse 05:46

The eternal eclipse has come

Nightfall will never again suffer the morning sunrise

The night is pure and will forever stay dark

As it can never be menaced by the day 

Those who have kneeled before the cross

Will pray for the last time

Crying for their god, begging helplessly

The churches and the christians bleed

Now that Satan has swallowed their god and sun

The final battle between good and evil is won

And the pain the pain of watching the daylight is gone

Black is the path to the cemetery

Where we feast on the christs in infernal blasphemy

5. Conjuring the Hordes of Blasphemy 05:13

Deep into a drenched forest drenched by the rain and mist

I lay cold in my lenting, praying to the darkest one

Possess me as I sleep unholy master

Possess me so my dreams can come true

Make me forever a worthy servant

A servant of your unholy might

Conujure the hordes of your proud realm 

To penetrate my body

Conjure the horde of blasphemy

Gather them in a circle of black

And make them to eternally dwell within me

Make me stronger, make me prouder

And make me forever immortal!

Conjure the horde of blasphemy

6. Maatte Blodet Flomme 04:38  

 Regnet fosset ned 

Fra sorte og endeloese skyer

En jaevelsk himmel

Voktet denne natt

Satan la dommedag komme

Jeg har værte deg tro

Levd i synd har jeg gjort

Og bespottet gud og hans disipler

Maate blodet flomme

Og pine guds usmakelige kjøtt

La det bli en flod

Av ondt og råttent blod

Til fjellene vil de flykte

Der blodet ikke kann dem nå 

Men der skal vi stå sterke

Klare til å slå 

Og igjen vil blodet flomme

Det skal ikke stoope 

Før all kjærlighet er død

Hat... Blod... 

Regnet fosset ned 

Fra sorte og endeloese skyer

En jaevelsk himmel

Voktet denne natt

7. Evocation of the Satanic Ascendancy 06:22

  Almighty satan, swallow my soul

So that I may become one 

With thee

Embrace my nocturnal heart

Enlight my visions with thy horch

Of wisdom

Unholy ruler of this mortal world

Grant me the power to slay the angels

Of piety

For I am thy soldier, thy deciple of sin

Lead my way against the sheeps

Behold the rise of the satanic ascendancy

Jehova, we'll slay you and your kin at Armageddon

We await this day for we are the demonic storm

That shall extinguish your treacherous sin

Victory is ours

Our satanic milleinium shall rise from the ashes of the holy

And proud shall we walk a perpetual, dechristianized ground

Manifest, king of jews, so that I may drown in the lake of fire

I'll burn your crucifix as I kiss the true cross of blasphemy

Fallen angel, Satan, arise like the infernal king

Thou are ascend thy throne upon the crest of christian corpses

Unlock the seven gates, bathe the world in thy unearthly light

We await thy command, lead us into the final war

The impotent god shall perish with the pearly gates 

Behold the rise of the satanic ascendancy!

8. Dethronation of God 05:47

 I'm the thorn in the eye of christ

I'm the carrier of light

I'm the rumours that have been told

Believe in me, or my victim you will be

Embraced by my own shadow

That reflects the consciousness in my soul

Crafts hidden from the weak

Hear our message!

Hordes of blasphemy - burn the temple of god

Condemn the holy spirit and spit it's weak followers on a peak

Come on, let's shed some blood!

A celestial life we were promised by birth 

Instead we were fooled by the gays of god 

Fooled, ha!

Their false piety will never stand proud 

How pity, hahaha!

Come on!

Let's shed some blood

Our battle will be victorious

And heaven will fall
