KNOKKELKLANG - Ned I Den Tørstende Jorden

Daemon Phosphorus

At long last, German black metal tyrants ASCENSION unveil their highly anticipated second album, The Dead of the World. Previewed by the Deathless Light EP, ASCENSION's The Dead of the World is a grandiose work of bold creativity and boundless imagination, of brilliant illumination and obsidian depth, all under the banner of orthodox black metal. The band's debut album, 2010's Consolamentum, became a classic in the underground not long after its release; it evinced a wealth of maturity in composition and execution for such a new band. Here, the quintet eclipse that accomplishment with a seven-song salvo that's the epitome of Album Experience. Every part is where it needs to be; every song flows from the other; there is a whole, and it is a black HOLE. From its innermost depths, ASCENSION drive onward and outward, their control of dynamics startling for mere "black metal," their passion, fervor, and professionalism far beyond those who supposedly uphold that genre. Joining ASCENSION in their peerless endeavor here are The Magus (Necromantia, Thou Art Lord, Principality of Hell) and Mors Dalos Ra (Necros Christos), who both respectively provide guest vocals on The Dead of the World. Black metal may be dead for all intents and purposes, but not for ASCENSION, for they show you The Dead of the World. 

The Dark Tomb Shines

Hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed Leviaxxis demo, released earlier this year by W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS, fast-rising German black metal cult DYSANGELIUM unleash their highly anticipated debut album, Thánatos Áskēsis . As prefaced by Leviaxxis, the sound of Thánatos Áskēsis  can rightfully be described as tyrannical: swift and strategic, roiling and rumbling, surging and striking, DYSANGELIUM exude a startling confidence and authority beyond their young years as a band. The nine songs here righteously uphold the banner of orthodox black metal, but the Teutonic quintet work in a dazzling array of dynamics and nuance, especially in the unique, authoritative throat of vocalist Sektarist 0: it's literally the mouth of HELL, and his bandmates follow suit with incendiary performances and muscular execution. Even the song titles - among them, "Gateways to Necromancy," "I Am the Witness, I Am the Servant," and "Words Like Flames" - back up these claims. Soon enough, DYSANGELIUM's Thánatos Áskēsis  will be spoken of as a momentous record in the pantheon of pure-and-proud black metal.

God and devil within

A New Level (Pantera Cover)

[intro]
The station keeps running.
The flow of energy is endless.
And we are nothing but fleeting sparks in this thunder

[Verse 1]
Direct current, constant flow, my friend,
You can’t contain it, there’s no end.
Sit down, take a breath, be still,
Is this milk worth the spill?

[Chorus]
The station keeps running — the worker sleeps,
He dreams that life is a moment brief.
Like lightning time is racing fast,
Thunder roaring, only memories of us last.

The station keeps running — the worker sleeps,
He dreams that life is a moment brief.
Like lightning time is racing fast,
Thunder roaring, only memories of us last.

[solo]
Oh-ooooooh

[Verse 2]
Was it your choice, or just a lie?
No more chances, they’ve passed us by.
The plane took off a long time ago,
And in your pocket, just tobacco’s glow.

[Chorus]
The station keeps running — the worker sleeps,
He dreams that life is a moment brief.
Like lightning time is racing fast,
Thunder roaring, only memories of us last.
A-a-a-a-ahhhh
The station keeps running — the worker sleeps,
He dreams that life is a moment brief.
Like lightning time is racing fast,
Thunder roaring, only memories of us last.

[Verse 3]
01:23 — and the heartbeat froze,
Fire and iron burst through the night.
Shadows run as the future goes,
Ashes are falling from concrete heights.
The silent reactor whispers in gloom,
The earth awakens, haunted by screams.
Black April holds us inside its tomb,
We’ll never be who we used to be.

[Chorus]
The station keeps running — the worker sleeps,
He dreams that life is a moment brief.
Like lightning time is racing fast,
Thunder roaring, only memories of us last.

[outro]
Silence cracks like a broken wire,
Ashes fall on the blackened spire.
Dead streetlights in abandoned towns,
Only fear remains around.
A-a-a-a-a-a
