Red Cathedral

Born of essence fraught and upside-down horizons
That transform horror into ether and tallow into frost
In penance, a pleasure, a dalliance with dread
In pale dungeons of alabaster war
In plagues summoned, of innocence devoured
Corrupter of organs, inherit the shroud
Hang the pariah and drown in white virus
Silent (blood red cathedral) Usurper (piss on the sacrament)
Siphon (alien in animus) The orgone (hoarding to fornicate)
Inverted vestiges of savagery in cradles of ash find serenity
From whence came the bringers of idolatry
In vain passed the epoch of iniquity
Like wind upon the ice, the passer in darkness
In shadows a hunter, in sunlight a ghost
To placate the hatred, to open the vein
In crucibles of chaos and entropy is forged a vile vengeance, misanthropy
Cascade the columns and topple the spires
Crushing the faithful with bile and sores
Echoes (blood red cathedral) Of opulence (piss on the sacrament)
Serpent (alien in animus) Dementia (hoarding to fornicate)
Locust-throated heretic choke upon the nemesis
Crucified in the eyes of reptiles
In the eyes
Mithridatic scavenger / pyroclastic paranoid
Purtenance resplendent upon altars of the sky
Vanish like vapor, like vapor…

Crack the amethyst and bleed the fever weak and seeping
Shattered teeth of sordid siege / Speak in tongues of the bereaved
Fallow hymns to cosmic sleep (crystallized in rot)
Rise like wisps from valleys smoldering (petrified in ice)
Scything sick and spoiling wheat
Fathoms undreamt in void meridians
Hatred pure and pulsing black / Flows like poison drunk and shivering
Vomit plague and gushing fire (a pox upon their house)
Harvest bone from horde mortality
Gaze into the face of nothingness
A crystal cataclysm shadowed by the might of madness
In dripping viscera the end was from the birth foretold
Shifting apocalypses blissfully in bloom unending
Abandon artifice, implode as all creation ceases
Inverted existence, the raven and the box of stars
A myth born dreaming death, the burning womb inseminated
Truthless cacophony, in chaos wrought the silent poem
This was when the choir of ravens spoke:
There is dignity in anonymity
There is avarice in every fool
There is dignity in anonymity
There is avarice in every fool
Manifest / Unease / Matricide / Disease
Bellicose / Deflowered / Babylon / Devoured
Insectoid arhythmic pulse
Count the hours in suffering
Drown the eye in blood
Purify the unknown orifice
Corvidae corrupt
Stars collapse, erupt unshackled in death

Monuments in dust are born
Skeletons to dust return
Sentience in passing form
Empty altar bleeding stone

Through chasms bleak and weeping
Through blackened azimuths
Of bloodless banshees screeching
In dreamless diatribes
Wearing the skin of sinister ghosts
Slithering sister, mirror divide
Eat of the flesh, a withering host
Flee from the light, a poison inside
Amongst the sheep, of tooth and taloned claw
In shadowed keep, abyssal concealment
A boiling brood, the alchemy of fire
In crimson hues, elixir of ether
Werewoman, seeress beyond sight
Enchanted, charmed levitation
Inversion, predatory curse
In chambers deep and shrouded / Obscured by therianthropy
A bird of prey, a carrier of plague
Of widow’s ways, the weirding enthrallment
To beckon death, upon the quarry cast
Heretic hex of total debasement
Crepuscule, loathing of the light
Occulted alienation
Infection, anathemic oath
In the aftermath, the acquiescent parallax in quantum quietus remains
Entheogen, Apollyonic Pythian
O oracle of ibogaine!
Bleed, avenge seething teeth and rend screaming:
Blind sight, harpies in flight, cast on your enemies boils and blight
Pluck from the sockets their eyes in spite, smother in darkness their breath, benight!
Blind sight, harpies in flight, cast on your enemies boils and blight
Pluck from the sockets their eyes in spite, smother in darkness their breath, benight!

(Cyanide) blossoming blind perversity
(Suicide) feast on the child of light, maligned
(Acrid womb) crowning in sickness, gash perineum
(Mystified) hatred and sin, incinerate
Hail Omega chaos union, venerate the inward sun
Fungal clouded crest horizon, violate the sanctity
The creeping vines of dawning holocaust reach for the warmth
Constricting throats in freezing vacuum, backwards cavity
The unburnt hand retracts from that which brings illumination
And nullifies the season, scorch the earth in waves of cosmic doom
Waves of cosmic doom
Bearing sight to the monolith collapsing, a final thrust into the storm’s eye vortices
Birthing Caesar slicing
In blood and ash are written tomes of uroboros riven, wholes made lesser than
Crawling crippled toward the dawn
Crawling toward the dawn
Bearing sight to…
Burn the umbilical, glorified infanticide
Death ritual, cremated neonate
Caress the infinite, sever the never-ending
Open the arteries, they spill out fire and blasphemy
A luminescent spiral sucking down theosophies
Create to uncreate, dissolve the manifesto
Ascended offerings, rising obsolete oblations
In vacant space reverberating howls of prophecy
Howls of prophecy
Giving life to a rising sun that sweeps clean all that lies within its gaze
In broken paragraphs, the poets choke on corpses’ dust and die in obscurity, chapters evaporating
All is meaningless and nothing is all

Codex Crepusculum
11:52
|

Coronation of the sickening, that which once reflected purity
In kingdoms lost are epics sought and rubble crushed to gold
Azure hallucinations speak anthropomorphic fire
Byzantine and weak, the empire
Delicate and frail, the king
Omens whisper doomed dominions etherealized
Annihilation summons life inhuman
Disintegration shrieking black forever
In tendrils green and forests lush do flourish life’s decay
A providence does death largesse, pillars of living stone
Epoch of the beast in winter, thundering the dogs of plague
This bitter farce, this fatal comedy
This mockery, oblique grotesque pain
Quintessential sightless genus purified
In deepest soil churns sustenance, vanquished palindrome
Liquid fantasy / Cryptic delusion
Eye within an eye / Man without a soul
Suiciding mass psychosis cadaveric coma regicide
Terminal Pleistocene, as the curtain falls on the quaternary
The phantoms bow as dead roses rain to screeching howls
Verdant foliage / Swallows fortresses
Castles crack and die / Crumbling citadels
Radiating arcane volume, pages open to oblivion:
The toil of beasts is sacred, and the sacrament divine
The meat is parasitic, and the blood is spoilt with wine
Blood is spoilt with wine…
The passing specters feed, the ghost is starving
In desiccated flesh the maggots gorging
Veining splays the deltas of death
Delivering poisons with every breath
Swarm the corpse, the gnashing of teeth
Crushing the suffering husk beneath
Of ash which once was fire, the tome is smoldering
The gloaming twilight peaks, codex crepusculum
In kingdoms lost there blossoms rot in carcasses untold
Silent hallucinations weep, dreamless in slumber lie
Primeval and dead, the empire
Crown upon a skull, the king
Omens whisper doomed dimensions
An eye within an eye within an eye within an eye
within an eye within an eye within an eye
within an eye within an eye within an eye
within an eye

Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list

Like all the best death metal this is a bit unhinged and a lot of fun. The black metal elements add color without plodding and clear production gives the whole thing some extra heft.

You have to admire the chutzpah of doing two twenty minute tracks on one death metal album but somehow they make it work.
