lyrics

I bowed my head in anguish sore
When Life made Death his bride
Soul, we are lost forever more!
Unto my soul I cried

Nay, waste in wailing not thy breath
My soul replied to me
The child of Life and Death
Behold! Behold! Immortality!

Hypocrisy will serve as well
Oh, it will serve us well

Persecution and promotion
Do equally advance devotion
So round white stones will serve, they say
As well as eggs to make hens lay

In a church furnish'd with gable
The penitents' dresses are sealskin and sable
An altar with gargoyle and groin
The odour of sanctity is eau-de-Cologne

Could Lucifer, flying from Hades
Gaze down on this crowd with panniers and paints
He’d say, looking at the lords and the ladies
Oh, where is All-Sinners, if this is All-Saints?

How shall the living be comforted for the dead
When they are gone, nothing's left behind
But a vague music of the words they said

Be patient to the end, and you shall sleep
Pillowed on heartsease, you will not have to weep

Ringing the Bell of Gleaming Martyrdom

Lots of atmosphere and greater sound production compared to previous releases. WTW produces raw melancholic black metal. Sid

Autumn's Dawn, Winter's Darkness
by Fathomage

supported by 14 fans who also own “Immortality”

Another gem from Northern Silence Productions, Aussie one-man act Fathomage delivers relentlessly one full-length a year since 2018. This one is again an amazing atmospheric BM extremely well-crafted composition, suffice to listen to the first 12 min of the album, i.e. the first track, to be fully immersed in a mystical Tolkien's journey... but modern, dark ambient elements make it stand out from the baseline! Highly recommended!! sachavonkarl74

Abaddon
by CRIMSON MOONLIGHT

supported by 13 fans who also own “Immortality”

Crimson Moonlight is one of the few brutal black metal bands that rival their evil counterparts Dark Funeral, Marduk, and Belphegor. They are fast, aggressive, and hold themselves at a higher standard than many other Christian Black Metal bands. Raw and brutal yet crystal clear production. Sid

Forest of Iniquity
by Within Thy Wounds

supported by 13 fans who also own “Immortality”

Brilliant, magical. Vivid soundscapes and feelings. Perfection! But, I have to admit, listening and taking a christian metal album into my collection is not something that I would normally do. Nonetheless, the music won me over, so I ignored everything else. Within Thy Wounds crafted here a transcendental, emotional atmosphere. Nothing can beat this. Umbra Cornuta
