The Realms of Old

Beyond the frozen kingdom cold,
A dense forest deep in the realms of old,
Where mystical creatures inhabit the darkness
In the foggy glade lies a weighty tome,
But what secrets would lie within such a text?
the turning of the first page would reveal all to the wanderer
For these were the tales of an evil soul
The Dark Fables of the Night

Dark Fables of the Night

Heed now these stories
For I am an evil soul
I am the ghost by candlelight
Through the blackest fog I glide
No silence in my solitude
When the light of day subsides
Dark fables of the night
Dark fables of the night
These thoughts you cannot banish
As my visions come to life
Haunting myths and monsters
Of immemorial years
Below the glare of the full moon
I recite these tales of fear
Oh hear me now
My darkest hour
From the realms of old
A tale never told
Dark Fables of the Night
Dark Fables of the Night

When the snake comes crawling
That which would devour mankind
Smite them into parts of nine
And may the deadly poison never pass the border
In the crashing seas of eternity
There's a god that lies deep within
Let them not stand against you or your trial
Oh beating heart of many forms
Ior
Ior
Go forth to tranquility
With the godly presence of balance
Severing the scaled beast that opposes magic
Fear not the dreaded serpent
Ior
Ior
With greatness you shall rise
Pay no mind to the calls of treason
Ascend the viper mountain
And claim your throne of immortality
Oh! Never fear the serpent
Never fear

Treacherous Mordred!
The battle lines are drawn
Where steel shall meet steel
And those of legend shall fall
To the isle, of Avalon
In history we'll remain
To tell the tale of our king
Who died on this day
Hear the call of the lady of the lake
Beyond this world, my soul is yours to take
Enchantress to heal the dying
Arþures Hryre
Seal my wounds or let these rivers flood
Bound together, betrayed by flesh and blood
Enchantress to cure the dying
La Mort D'Arthur
Where the stronghold stands
In the aftermath of famine
A knight will usurp the throne
No truce to be sworn
Mortally wounded
By rebels of the cause
The strife of Camlaan
A war to end all wars
Hear the call of the lady of the lake
Beyond this world, my soul is yours to take
Enchantress to heal the dying
Arþures Hryre
Seal my wounds or let these rivers flood
Bound together, betrayed by flesh and blood
Enchantress to cure the dying
La Mort D'Arthur
Now ready my knights for battle!
A king shall return, with sword in hand to rise
Shining through the stars, A warrior and his knights
We shall die with honour, never to be disgraced
Deliver us this kingdom, or death we shall embrace
Hear the call of the lady of the lake
Beyond this world, my soul is yours to take
Enchantress to heal the dying
Arþures Hryre
Seal my wounds or let these rivers flood
Once bound together, betrayed by flesh and blood
Enchantress to cute the dying
La Mort D'Arthur

My dearest love
These are the final words i shall write
And the final words that you shall read
We have broken the vows that we once lived by
We swore a life to the existence of god
And now we must suffer
The punishment that he bestows upon us
But our souls shall meet again
When the walls have closed in
And the air becomes short
When madness takes over
I will pray for you
As the weakness sets in
We leave our earthly vessels
At one with the twilight
I shall pray
man of faith
sister of inner sin
Forever imprisoned
Left to decompose
In the wailing chamber
No escape within the walls
Slaves to lust and gluttony
Condemned to slowly rot
Star-crossed lovers
A broken vow of chastity
Strayed from the will of god
Immured for eternity
Oh Prioress
Oh Prioress
Oh Prioress
Oh Prioress
Oh Prioress (sins of the flesh)
Oh Prioress (sins of the flesh)
Oh Prioress (sins of the flesh)
Oh Prioress

Atorcoppe

Peering into darkness
a monster lurks below
A blood red gaze
that strikes fear and dread
Oh weaver of mankind's fate
We request your presence in your parlour
Thousand eyes you glare at your prey
Forever living in haunted dreams
Kill it with fire, burn it alive
This demon we'll turn to dust
Before a devil's roar
Man versus beast
an unholy trial
Rid the world of what should not be
In the cold, dark chamber
In a dungeon of hell's design
We take our final breath
Pierced by the fangs of the poison head
I roam these tunnels, I travel along the walls
I scuttle through the silent shadows
Awaken from my rest
To stalk those who dare impose
Foolish mortals disturb my slumber
wrap you up in my thread
Caught entangled in my web
Bound in a nightmare of your making
Hear the patter of my towering limbs
I sentence you to death in torment
Food for the dreaded poison head
In the chamber of the Atorcoppe
Entangled web of chaos
Eaten by the spider lord
A monster of hell's creation
For those who trespass beneath the tower
I shall show mercy no more
Hear me travelling across the stone
Before I devour the skin from your bones
And leave you here in this fortress tomb
Digested in acid to become one
With the Atorcoppe
Never again shall you see sunlight
Locked in terror now it's your time
Dying in acid to become one
With the spider lord
In the realm of the Atorcoppe
Sever the web of chaos
Pierce the eyes of the spider lord
Arachnid decimation

At daybreak, i wake alone
My kinsmen killed
A broken soul
How many winters have passed?
Left to drown
No life to live at all
The silence breaks my spirit
As i slowly drift away
I'll sing this song in absolute radiance
Does my salvation await me?
Will these crashing depths enslave me?
As time goes by in misery of earthly realms
I'll sail between these worlds
For the voyage is lost
The crushing showers of ice rain down
The foundation of earth is stricken
The water begins to rise again
I wither in the frost
The ghostly cry of the surrounding gulls
I'm pillaged by my ashen foes
No treasure beyond the horizon
As the winter storm takes hold
I'll sing this song in absolute radiance
When the air is dark and cold
I'll ascend beyond to the halls of gold
As time goes by in misery of earthly realms
I'll sail between these worlds
For the voyage is lost
Punishing weather hits the stony cliffs
Im ready for the slaughter
The darkness now descends
Engulfed by the shadows of the north
For the voyage is lost
For this endeavour is lost
I'll sing this song in absolute radiance
When the air is dark and cold
I'll ascend beyond to the halls of gold
As time goes by in misery of earthly realms
I'll sail between these worlds
For the voyage is lost

Phantom Battalion
08:38
|

March, march, marching on
They're marching off to war
A spectral army of days gone by
They pass across the moors
Guardians of the haunted lakes to warn of looming death
Taking souls to serve in battle for who they must protect
Mist descends on the harrowing hills as you prepare to fight
A curse that takes you to the depths to die once again
March, march, marching on
They're marching off to war
A phantom stalks the frozen earth to find where they belong
Men who've lived through centuries are separated from the world
At the entrance to the next life no force can break this door
Fighters that will never find their final resting place
Scouring the battlefield for the saving grace of god
Broken bodies with no fear search for their brothers in arms
A blood soaked river, a crimson flood to mark those who've passed
The wandering souls who now mark the ground with their tears
The life ahead's no life at all to brace these killing fields
Begin to shiver in the cold
The air of night starts to rise
Heaven is our goal, here in hell
On horseback we ride
Down the mounds to the earth below
Punish those who live their lives in blasphemy
A horde of ghosts with instruments of death
Suffering eternal servitude
As the warriors from far beyond here to slay
What's your kingdom worth?
Risk your life to sink into the mire
With the deceased who fell before
Peasants who guard royalty
Dark spirits of prophecy
From the mountains to the valleys of shadows
Fail to hide from the persuer
The hunt is on for all mankind
Who punish the living hordes of sacrifice
Through a bond of blood and faith
Or a vision that deceives
Pledge your eternal soul to the battalion
Ghost procession hunts through the fog
They answer the call of their lord
To spread their wrath but once a year
Carried through by frozen winds
As storm and thunder starts to scream
The northern realm so dark and dim
Kinghts are mounted on haunted steed
From the neck the poor shall bleed
Death shall rise from the stillness of night
To smite those who bear witness to the light of the cavalry from the other side
Slash and burn with brutal force
None shall rest through the phantom's cause
Pray for mercy from the crack in the sky
Before the battalion you shall die
Phantom Batallion
The phantom Batallion
Phantom Batallion
The Phantom Batallion
Phantom, Phantom, Phantom
The Phantom Batallion
Phantom, Phantom, Phantom,
The Phantom Batallion

A Castle Drenched in Moonlight
As the night begins to fall
They arise from the slumbering tomb
Through the trees and the cloud's mist
Travelling through the broken woods
Whispers echo through these halls
Spirits watch me through the walls
Shaded by your soaring wings
Walking terror of the night
Mesmerizing with crimson eyes
Pale skin and a cloak so dark
Feed on the blood from my veins
Drain the fountain of my heart
Tortured by an inward hell
In this castle where they dwell
A thirst unquenched, a frozen stare
A haunted fortress below the moon's glare
This castle dripping blood
Before the ashen throne
Let the burial rights be read
Let the funeral songs be sung
A ghastly night of horror
A forgotten place of radiance
The celestial body shines so bright
A powerful shimmering light
This twilight claims us all
Silent no more from weeping souls
These grounds are soaked in blood
The castle drenched in moonlight
From the cross to the crucifix
The risen dead shall be stricken from this place
In the name of the holy father
You are no longer bound to the earth
Leave our lands and our people in peace once again
And descend to the kingdom of hell
The final bells toll as the towers begin to fall
Yet there will be no ruins
For this is a place that transcends mortar and stone
It shall one day return
And the bloodthirsty lord that lives within
To kill for the endless lifetime of hatred

The master of weapons of armour
Would suffer the despair of exile
A smith that's stricken by sorrow
Though he would soon embrace this anguish
To bring him peace in his frozen prison chamber
For a vile king had bound him in chains
That passed away, this also may
Hamstrung and imprisoned on a remote island
The smith would begin to plot his escape
Upon crafted wings he would flee to England
But not before taking his revenge upon his captors
That passed away, this also may
Prisoner of the crown
Servant of the crown
Held captive by the crown
Slave of the crown
Taken from his home
Torn from the anvil
A malicious monarch
A master incapacitated
On forged wings the blacksmith flies
On broken wings the blacksmith flies
With the princess the blacksmith lies
To freedom the blacksmith flies
A symbol besmirched
Your monarchy will crumble
My blood shall rule
Defiled by the forge god
Drink from the skulls of your princes
Wear their teeth around your neck
Fuel for my flames
Face my vengeance
Wrath of the forge god
Bring me the ring of gold
Your princess bears the heir
I flee from destruction
To my place at the anvil
Fuel for my flames
The green hills of freedom
May my spawn reign in terror
An heir for the ring of gold
The broken princess mourned the loss of her brothers
Though she bore a far worse fate
As the spawn of the enemy grew within her
Her future was bleak
And no good would ever come of it
That passed away, this also may

SAT359: Enoid - Ô Nuit, emporte-moi ! (2023)
by Satanath Records
supported by 14 fans who also own “Dark Fables of the Night”
ENOID present another highlight from Satanath this year. Buzzing, piercing guitars, rough sound, a very cold atmosphere and reverberating French vocals remind me at Borgne sometimes in terms of atmosphere. Some tracks are very intense experiences, check for example the opener "Des océans de sang, de cendres et de larmes", "Ce ver insidieux qui ronge mes vertèbres" or the epic end "Le corps de l'ange noir s'offre aux langues des vers".

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be.
