Con las bandas de black metal sinfónico en lo mas alto de su influencia y popularidad, Limbonic Art tenían la difícil tarea de dar continuidad a su anterior "Moon in the Scorpio", álbum que le granjeó un reconocimiento casi unánime. En este "In Abhorrneece Dementia" tiran por la vertiente más sinfónica del género, tal vez influenciados por la tónica imperante en la época, seguramente a trabajos como este hoy en día habría que encuadrarlos en la faceta más vanguardista del género. Desde el comienzo podemos tener claro que no es un álbum sencillo para el oyente y el número de detractores y admiradores de una obra de esta envergadura deberían de estar muy parejos. El álbum se va a casi a los setenta minutos, cargado de elementos sinfónico de la mano de sintetizadores que por momentos suenan a demasiado electrónicos y no le hacen ningún favor a las partes más black así como la programación de la batería. Por momentos sobrecargado en exceso, muy barroco y preciosista puede llegar a sonar demasiado pretencioso, seguramente con unas composiciones que dieron más de un quebradero de cabeza a la hora de la creación de la misma, sobre todo a Morfeus qu fue el que se ocupó de de la mayoría de los elementos sinfónicos. Para los seguidores de la vertiente más metálica también podemos disfrutar de unos buenos riffs de guitarra en los momentos en los cuales cobran protagonismo, las voces también juegan un papel importante en los temas y de su dualidad sale beneficiado el oyente, muy buenas las agresivas que contrastan con otra más claras y corales. La ambientación conseguida no está del todo clara pero en ciertos lugares se ha conseguido aportar un halo siniestro y místico. Un álbum que como gran obra tiene que ser apreciada con calma, no creo que nadie se enganche a este álbum a la primera escucha, no por nada, sino porque es tal el número de detalles que encierra que necesita de varias escuchas para acabar por hacerse con él.

1. In Abhorrence Dementia 07:25
I admire the spiritual force of evil
A pure supreme instinction in survival
Never underestimate the powers of hatred
When the blackness overwhelming
With a hostile image against all living
The splendid visions of malignant breeding
The dominions on Earth shall return to the
beast
As the darkside awaits the capture and feast
With dark surrounding illusions
Possesion in passio, simplicity is intuitive
Native forces of violent misery
The soil in a man`s heart is stonier
In stench of rot and sour ground
The obedient fall into cruelty
Where all arts of life shall be undone
A madness wells up in me
As I swallow the pain
Where unbounded evil reign
In Abhorrence Dementia
2. A Demonoid Virtue 07:40
Higher, higher burning fire
Unite with me in dark desire
Inflaming greed awakens to breed in me
The night has predatoral eyes
Drifting in a plae of disguise
Beneath the spelling moon
The spirit rises out of darkness
The spirit rises...
Voices call for my soul
The cunning serpents kiss I taste
Baptised beside the ancient takes of
FIRE, FIRE burning higher
Unite with me in dark desires
I perish in bliss of cruelty
Tormented souls will never...rest in peace
In the flames an omen blaze
Enforcing through the cosmic haze
To cross the line and dare to glance
And enter cold void where death
romances
In mysteries
In the flames an omen blaze
Enforcing through the cosmic haze
To cross the line and dare to glance
And enter the cold void where death
romances
In mysteries
O` raging fire enlighten me with sin
3. A Venomous Kiss of Profane Grace 07:05
The dead speaks to me
From beyond the grave
That is why my conscience is
I've buried the dead alive
The blood of the child is pure now
In death it gives me life
The circle is complete
Begin another...
Dark cold icy death
As the scorpion stings the minds obsessed
A venomous kiss of profane grace
As shades of hatred reigns
Silent screams of suffering
I stand in flames of torturing
Goddess of flesh hunger and desire
Grant me wings of hellish fire
Know that all my creations spring
From blood on the cross in blasphemy
I am death the creator of sin
And of the pure I am the wind
The dance of creeping shadows
Enchanting all insania
I've become evil in soul and mind
In a demonoid fantasia
A venomous kiss of profane grace
In a world so fundamentally weak
I see no beginning only the end
4. When Mind and Flesh Depart 07:38
I`m captured by the sound of the tempest
winds
And my demonvoice that dwells within
The ground I walk is sour
A spectrum shines so genuine
While the earthquake starts to devour
I behold the shrine in the ruin
I pledge allegiance
To the night with all its mysteries
Reign I forever in darkness
The events of light is killing me only
On sad wings of destiny
A fallen angels sanctuary
Love is here like disease
Draped in vain the heart yearns to cease
The human way of life, an inferior state of
mind
The third stone from the sun
Had become a stillborn illusion
I`m under siege of anger and fury
There is no values no faith or glory
Antagonising mortal flesh
Life on Earth I do oppress
With infernal bleedings of bitterness
I have seen in my darkest dream
Throught the astral gate in a vortex fate
Death coldening the warrior`s fire
Floating energy of passion
Captures life-force comprehension
On third burial ground of mankind
I have seen in my darkest dream
Throught the astral gate in a vortex fate
Death coldening the warrior`s fire
When mind and flesh depart
A cryptic message comes from the heart
As I see and experience the bleeding art
The pain is only to avoid
Cause the spirit enters a greater void
I have seen in my darkest dream
Throught the astral gate in a vortex fate
Death coldening the warrior`s fire
I cleanse within ascending steams
Arising shadow, the dark soul release
All it`s power
When mind and flesh depart
5. Deathtrip to a Mirage Asylum 12:13
Life is deceiving while death is revealing
The mystic forces in the soul
Mind is receiving the certain dark feeling
The murderous sources of the ghoul
Life is the enemy while death is the sacred key
To absent sights that recall
Dimensional tyranny enslavement in cruelty
In darkness one float or one fall
Th the abyss` morbid enigmas
Far beyond the earthly grave
Soul betakes to drift astray
Infinite horizons of pale gray skies
A still born heart within there lies
The sanctuary that once was lost
Is streaming endlessly in holocaust
The astral corpse is still pulsating
In a mirage asylum awaiting
The final destination, the ultimate
denomination
In limbonic life I've slept
Dreamt that cryptic seals me kept
Sheltered from all visual sight
Cause shadows chased every sign of light
Awakened from an ancient slumber
Recalled to act of strife
My spirit old any my body cold
Remains in dark demise
Immortality beloved am I to dying
And the whispering of secrets to my soul
I am born to sing this sorrow
Evil has no rest in me
The invisible addiction of darkness, emptiness
And the ghastly silence...devour
Deathtrip to a mirage asylum
Cut the string the chain to soil
Unleash the powers within death`s coil
No darker emotion is there to find
Than the fading felling of a dying kind
Deathtrip to a mirage asylum
In limbonic life I've slept
Dreamt that cryptic seals me kept
Sheltered from all visual sight
Cause shadows chased every sing of light
In the light of my personal sacrifice
In the shine from the ruins I testify
Far more savage the spiritual vulture
In the light of my personal sacrifice
In the shine from the ruins I sanctify
Unto the valley of the shadows of death
6. Under Burdens of Life's Holocaust 06:26
A veil of darkness rest upon my shoulder
I reign and serve and obedient beholder
Cause the shadows are my hearts domain
and where I wander
I have returned to the land of decease
To walk the stony trial across the spectral
fields
And in wildness of haunting pains
Is where I slumber
From the highest mountain winds uplift me high
Into the magic fountain the force within the
light
I covet every vision when I`m allowed to die
Leave this earthly mission
and enter fullmoon eye
A true believer that death deliver
A life deceiver in misanthropy
When life is the cross I have to bear
A phantom soul is calling
Enclosed within stone prison walls
Deep in the heart of despair
Sentenced to walk among the living
In the face of the enemy
As I drown in tormenting oppression
Like a lonely candle burning
I blaze as the darkness emerging
And I yield for the art to bleed
When the moon is drained by all its light
And the stars they shine like serpent eyes
I`m feeling deaths desire for me
Baptised in esteem or arrogance
Raping all virtue and sweet romance
Bewitched by sins and lust
Emancipate the deceiving earth
Praise the sign in the sky for no new rebirth
Under burdens of life`s holocaust
7. Oceania 00:43 instrumental
8. Behind the Mask Obscure 07:14
In distance from the light I redeem my gloria
In darkness I have sights a high esteemed
fantasia
In hellfire and damnation my undead soul
walk the land
Throught the endless mist of time
I`m born ro darkened adventures retlaiated in
lifes obscure
To seek vengance for my pains
To serve the hatred in my veins
In centuries I have wandered
With deaths shadows drifting faithfully
In the darkest forests in mans domain
I rceived my strenght and sorcery
My demon search for a doorway to be free
For once again to desecrate the hearts serenity
Transcend mortality live throught eternally
And feast upon all misery
that is gathered here in life
In hellfire and damnation
my undead soul walk the land
Throught the endless mist of time
i`m born to darkened adventures
retailed in life obscure
Seasons they rise and fall
I have seen throught them all
With harsh evil prophecies
I gave birth to inhumanity
9. Misanthropic Spectrum 07:15
Gloria Sathanas
The undivinew deceptor
Enemy of all holiness
The eminent destructor
Brings life into misery and death
The magic sights of thy third eye
Triumphant wargod rising tall
Sparkling rain falls from the sky
When thunder`s blasying heavens wall
Gloria Sathanas
From four pains in the horizon
A circle`s drawn in fire
By sword I kneel in union
Within my burning empire
A mind sincerity
And obedience to the sources of its nature
A heart in cruelty
Reaches out for evil in the obscure
To be crowned as a legion of darkness
I`m weaving a spell of black energy
In aspects of might to obliterate
Breeding the wrath into plain hate
In apocalyptic rage
I curse time and age
Humans bleed for me
Coronation of dark victory
Gloria Sathans
