The last rays of the winter twilight covered the sky,
The mountains glowed red,
Like blood covers everything...
…like blood covers everything!!!
But when the night comes, and silver clouds creep up to the sky
The gloom and the coldness embrace me
And darkness extends his majestic
Power
Ah! Do you feel the night?
When you cross the ancient paths,
And the shadows surrounds you...
…ah!
Ah! Do you hear his voice?
The screaming of wolves
Tear it apart…
Everything is brittle and black
This is the cradle of eternity
It would be uplifting
To die here now,
How the first lights of dawn
Never break over the mountains...
Ah! Do you feel the night?
When you cross the ancient paths,
And the shadows surrounds you...
Ah! Do you hear his voice?
The screaming of wolves
Tear it apart…
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
The atmosphere on this record is amazing dark and beautiful almost spiritual at some points and crushing at others every song gave me goosebumps at some point vaguy22
Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri
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
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
