lyrics

Driftwood spattered in semen and menstruum,
Rot-thorns, birch bark and sea-shells,
Boiled in whiskey, sap and bog-wine,
In the rust-scabbed iron cauldron,
Ground and pasted on the stones,
That anchor the sacred arch,
Night-bound in roots of blackest spruce,
The corpse-hair of a fallowed field,
Steaming and rot-warm at its beckoning step,
Here has that forgotten Kingdom been hid,
Through the Arch,
To the Blessed,
Through the Arch,
To the Blessed,
The Wylding Way,
The key was never far from me,
Fungoid prick smiling in putrephaxion,
A hammer is the key to the key,
Powdered and fibrous it drowns,
Whispering, into the athanor goes its tea,
Drink it open! Swallow it forth!
Imbibe it afore! Guzzle it deep!
Churn! Snaking! Vibrating! Vortex! Portal!
The Maritime Fortress reveals its crimson secrets in the fading twilight of the elected day!

Graal recommends:

demo MMXX
by Ritual Cairn

Ritual Cairn's unique vision of blackened death-doom is eerie, malicious and even mournfully triumphant. There is a sincerity here that is rare in the subgenre. This is a project to watch. Graal

Nocturnal Wanderer - Gift of the Night
by Nocturnal Wanderer

Dire. Triumphant. Mystical. Haunting. Perfect headphone music for late-night strolls under the moon and the stars. Graal

This album sounds like it was recorded inside of a dream. Soothing melodies, distant vocals and amazing beats - Endlhëtonëg is simply something else botwin336

Youth in Ribbons
by Revenant Marquis

supported by 13 fans who also own “Through The Arch - To The Blessed - The Wylding Way”

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode
