The spoken part in this track is an extract of a french translation of "Dies Irae", a poem by H.D. Lawrence.
lyrics
I drink from your lips
The nectar of your words
As sweet as the sirens' song
A bright sun, an eternal summer
The ghosts of the past
The fear of tomorrow
Only those prayers
Give my life a meaning
Take my body, take my soul
Nothing matters now
I just need to follow you
I can't find my way alone
You're the light I've been searching for
Please tell me why I'm here
They all spread those lies
You're the only one that holds the truth
"Même les émois d'antan sont révolus,
nous les avons usés jusqu'à la trame.
Et le désir est mort.
Nous portons en nous la fin des choses.
Notre époque s'est écoulée,
un cycle d'évolution s'achève,
nos actes n'ont plus de sens,
nous sommes l'ombre de nous-mêmes, des graines,
car notre parole est morte"
They can't understand, I'm special now
Their words can't reach me there
They dare to judge our believes
It's us against them now
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
Melodic, almost pagan black metal out of Iceland with some of the most aggressive vocals I've heard in the genre. It's balls to the walls from the first note with few respites, but its melodic enough to not overstay its welcome. Jeff Wilson
On their incredible new album, Swiss group Abraham deliver a relentless assault of punishing noise rock, eight tracks of primal fury. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 26, 2022
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
