You seek in wells of filth for power that was never yours to hold
You seek in pools of shit for honor
Begging to your captor for the rotting scraps
Told you were born a king
You fill the ashen pit that haunts the marrow of your bones
By your footpath sowing trauma
born of Violence
Son of Hatred
Son of Fear
To prove yourself to your father
Make his wounds your own
To prove yourself to your son
Pass your wounds into him
To my attackers:
I will let the stagnant blood from the bruises beaten
into my flesh Soak into my body
Every cell enriched by the poison of your blows
Ignites my veins, becomes my breath
I will let the blinding poison searing deep into my eyes
Burn into my skull
I will let the blinding poison
Light the way
Light the way
The threat will not disappear
If we look the other way
Fascism must be actively destroyed
To my brothers and sisters
There can be no middle ground
The time has come and gone
To pick a side
So pick a side

Thunder and Hail

Falling away / Turning to stone / Burning to dust
Burrow the roots ever deeper / Down through the last of our cities
Blood on the last of our chins / Vines growing up through our corpses
We disappear into thunder and hail / Become soil / Disintegrate
Bodies burden on paths of silent austerity / Through deafening chaos of space
Predators hunt and feast upon prey
Forests will rise and fall / Taken under rivers of salt
Flowing to mountains / Claimed by merciless pressures of time
Oceans will fill with our refuse / Oceans will boil away
Planet will settle the debt by extinguishing humanity
I see the first light of our last day
Peace in the eyes of the last human alive
I see the first light of the last day
Stare at the sun until is swallows the sky

Heart of the Storm

The air is barren and choking / Steals the breath from our lungs
And the voice from our shredded throats
Inhaling the dust / Expelling the waste from our past / We tread on
Through wind so cold it burns / Skin becomes stone / The flesh of our faces gangrenous death
The waymarks have twisted and fallen / Luring to paths errant and untrod
Pointing toward chasms tumbling sheer / Into the pits of the earth
Pointing toward monoliths vanishing / Into the heart of the storm
There is no way forward
There is no way back
I defy the futility
Clutching my fingers cragged and bleeding
To the knives edge of stone
We ascend
Beaten by hail
Lashed by the scourge of the furor
Our worth is tried yet again
Still you are there climbing beside me
Into the unknowable black of the sky

What is the purpose of this all but to span the chasms
But to chisel with our bleeding hands
Footholds in walls of stone
Until every mountain face will stand below
What is the purpose of this all
But to raise a cry
To rouse the slumbering flock
To call our allies to our side
So we can ride unflinching to our deaths
What quenches the fire that burns beneath our skin
What snuffs the light within our eyes
Where leads the yawning pit of anguish in our chests
Were we to listen
Were we to follow
Is the purpose of this all to die
Not seeming to have lived in vain
To see your name rise in smoke
In stories on tongues of yet unborn
In fires with the names of ancient martyrs
On waves that crash
On as yet unformed shores

What an absolutely beautiful album! This is what black metal really leads to; beautiful and powerful expressions of anger, mourning, and joy that lead to real change for those suffering! I can’t say enough good things about this album! The huge range of genres is incredible as well!

Old Nick - Ghost O' Clock
by Old Nick
supported by 5 fans who also own “Skinhunger”
Il y a des fantômes qui font tomber les lustres ou les bibliothèques, d'autres qui font grincer les planches... Les vibrations de l'air déclenchées par Old Nick prennent possession d'une botte — ni plus ni moins. Ce n'est pas grand-chose, me direz-vous, mais c'est suffisant quand le but de chaque piste est de mettre un bon coup de pied au cul ! Le raw black metal est moins raw mais bien plus énergique, presque rock, et riche en synthés grotesques qui font SHEBAM ! POW ! BLOP ! WIZZ ! Génial !

A Diabolic Thirst
by SPECTRAL WOUND
supported by 5 fans who also own “Skinhunger”
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended.
