lyrics
These barren, these barren lands I walked so long, too long
I witnessed the breaking seasons, and mourned
Ashes covered in snow
My fate was to wander
Floating into a grey eternity
Retrieve the sword from the abstract box
Quench the blade into the fountain before you cut the rope
Breaking my bones with stone jaws the cosmic wolves drag my body along the skyline
Turned from human flesh to dust, will I fly with the wind? I become the mountain
Take my eyes as a retribution and see what lies beyond
Open the chest of my secret, what is numb might feel again
My legs are broken
Stooped is my back for having carried too long its weight
You chose to follow me
I'll pass down the ashes to you
So fire can be born again
Yet my fate shall be complete
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
Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
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
