lyrics
The Elders have seen the clouds looming
They told their sons and daughters to run and hide on the hills
Never your hearts shall turn back to the see
I greet the newborn with an iron tainted smile
For deep In my heart I mourn, foreseeing what is to come
I crossed the Neptune’s torch, reached the caverns of sleep
We were all thrown back to the shore, empty souls adrift
Spectral is my ship
Empty is my soul
We believe no more on the great gods, and nor do they believe in us
Voracious is our appetite, we swallowed the skies they once used to sit upon
The mooring ropes are cut, the caverns of Ulu are full
I turned to be the herald of the new dawn, stars falling into a raging ocean
And so they left their houses taking women and children
Braving their serment to the old
And when they reached the highest mount
They saw what the elders have seen
Heavy is the grief upon the fragile heart of men
And these people loved upon all the sight of the sea
Would you grow old knowing you will never see stars again
Without hearing the gulls and waves
And from your treason you'll witness the birth of an age
And time and land shall be erased
The spear of destiny shall take you to the bottom of the oceans
And drown your soul
In olden days I was a man who chose exile
To follow the mists of my questions
And a fire consumed me, burning brighter as my path lengthened
Now the fire is dead and my heart turns empty
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
It's hard to describe this one. It's brutal, it's crazy, it's kicking ass! Some weird and insane shit. It's like a punch in the face…with a Knuckelduster…by your mom…on Christmas. Sælzer Bub
