lyrics

The wind begun to rock the grass
With threatening tunes and low
He flung a menace at the earth
A menace at the sky

The leaves unhooked themselves from trees
And started all abroad
The dust did scoop itself like hands
And throw away the road

The wagons quickened on the streets
The thunder hurried slow
The lightning showed a yellow beak
And then a livid claw

The birds put up the bars to nests
The cattle fled to barns
There came one drop of giant rain
And then, as if the hands…

There will be thunder then. Remember me
Say, she asked for storms
The entire world will turn the color of crimson stone
And your heart, as then, will turn to fire

Restless and hot two children lay
Plagued with uneasy dreams
Each wandered lonely through false day
A twilight torn with screams

Now high aloft above the town
The thick clouds gather and break
A flash, a roar, and rain drives down
Aghast the young things wake

Trembling for what their terror was
Surprised by instant doom
With lightning in the looking glass
Thunder that rocks the room

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 “Thunderstorm”

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 “Thunderstorm”

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

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
