Open gates of the dark empire
(Lyrics: Ferenc Mocsnik)
I felt the pagan winds as I walked into your empire.
Everything is dark and frozen now...
The dark sky is clear, only the Moon shines,
as if it were the last candle of Heaven.
Alone, but soon
I am going to join your holy children!
Wolves are guiding me on the red,
sparkling snow ...
You, keeper of the keys to the ancient wisdom,
You have to call me home now,
Accept me as one of yours!
I'm not far from you anymore ...
Oh, Lord of wisdom and night!
I am free on your way ...
I walk on frozen rivers
And dead souls stare from under the ice ...
I feel as the air is slowly freezing my face ...
The light of the New Moon illuminates your majestic mountains ...
The trees form a black crown
In your shining celestial veil ...
I feel you are here ...
God of desire! You have to raise me now!

Absolutely amazing album. It’s blowing my mind that these guys aren’t more known than this. Killer evil tremolo riffs, harsh high-pitched screams, everything’s oozing evil from every pore. Support this band, they’re going to become pretty big in the next few years. \m/ sakrifilth
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023

Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy?
Yes.
p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro. YomaBarr
