Solemn they await for the dying of the light
For the chilling of the air and the beckoning of night
For the howls of the wind and the darkening of sky
For the cloaking of the fog and the blinding of the eye
Solemn they await for the breaking of the chains
When the sun's light dims in the waning of the day
In forlorn night beneath the palemoon's glow
Among the shadows cast on ground below
Ghosts circle the cemetery gates
In silent desperation
Necromantic rites
Rituals of rotten flesh
A call to the beyond
The raising of the dead
The breaking of the chains
The quelling of the pain
A call to the beyond
The echo from the void
The necromantic rites
Rituals of rotten flesh
The ceremony flame
A life remade
And as the smoke begins to rise
A signal in the moonlit night
From the ashes now reborn
The wretched and forgotten
Unchained from shackles
That bind to unlife
Silencing of the shade's lament
The reckoning of fallen men
Cursed no more to haunt
Endlessly

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
