chrisjcozzi Nothing short of Transcendent. Pestilence Crowned is an aural and spiritual onslaught designed to twist, mangle, and open gateways that will never again be closed. Favorite track: Woe.

xaphanapraxia Sounds like: Somebody spiked the blood chalice for the zealous satanic ceremony with a fuckload of LSD; blackened psychedelic fever ritual.

YomaBarr Lux Nigredo was my '21 AOTY. Just sayin'.

And this... This is a journey. Simply, a journey. But be careful to tread on this path.

Broken Star Kindled Flame In the navel Of blind Mother Sky They speak In formless Shadow They watch THEY WATCH YOU! Avert your eyes! Unworthy Tremble! Before His Shadow Terrible! Horrifying The gaze envenomed The door is opened Psychoactive incense Elevating the mind From within the pentagram Ascending, a nightmarish geometry Demoniac Sun with the face of Death The dust of the Earth Swept away like a fog Beneath his light The door is opened here The gates from which They enter Shall never close Entranced in worship Phosphorus dreams Presenting to the paralyzed The keys In timeless solitude Of frozen marshlands And incessant anger Of primal oceans Lighted by a burning crescent Whose aura shall suffocate And wither the mind of man To birth the purity of the beast And cleanse the currents OPEN ENTER Release The Self Bleed Open Call Father Devil Horned Winged Cloven Carnivorous Darkness

Hail to thee Mercurial emanation of Moloch's holy flames! Thou grand General of Satan's Host Emissary of that which lies beyond the infinity of Self Relay to me the Words of Outside Intelligences The wisdom of Alien Gods Unknown to the realms of Time and Dream And the maddening sway of the fractal world Bael! Phenex! Agares! Halphas! Thou Raven-saint of Thieves! Patron of the cunning and the nimble! You who possess knowledge beyond all men And untold prowess of psychic maneuverance Through the scaffolds of Noosphere Thou keeper of the ancient memories The keys of Akasha and Nabu And wisdom of those who came before The secrets of the dead Vassago! Malphas! Gamygyn! Raum! I prostrate myself within thy wilderness temple Thou holy union of Serpent and Goat With full clarity of mind and determination of heart I resolve myself to forever be within the throws of worship That your presence may never leave my side I humbly accept the pricking of your bladed arms upon my spine And the breath of your voice upon the hairs of my neck Take me through the catacombs of hidden memory Through the archives of necromantic revelation To see clearly the pathways connected Leading to the throne Of Fire

Vultures 06:31
Winged carrion eater A ray of light from the black sun Feast upon the flesh of the pauper And bring them unto glory in your filth Break the bones of the righteous Upon the rocks of absolution Scattered by the winds My eyes are ripped from their sockets My limbs have stretched to grasp the pillars By Will I have established I Am as Adonai Perverting the secret rites of all My hand shall guide them toward the Devil My strength is in the slaughter of the flock The Hanged Man enlightened In the maw of a buzzard To fervently embrace the touch of Death Glory! Glory unto god in the highest! Praise the name of the tyrant A psychosis overpowering A sword! A spear upon god in the highest! Castrate the demiurgic puppets We end the reign of solar patriarchs Collapsed and withered under a dying sun Revealed is the shame within our pride Indulgence induced Necrosis I embrace my destroyer The Voice of the Master has spoken I open my eyes, and stand For my spirit is of Moloch My soul is for the Devil My flesh is bound to Lilith My heart belongs to Satan The messengers of heaven come to gather you Piece by piece to be taken before the divine Transformation obscene All that is I, dissolved in their maw Freedom in Entropy Magnitudinem intra VITRIOL Vultures IO Tathos Sorath Tzelsamon Speak to us IO Tathos Azazel Apollyon Appear to us Moloch, Divine Inject you venom Into the fertile womb of Nous Glory! Glory unto the name of Satan Praise the flame of total liberation Your prophets cut their tongues in adulation Holy! Holy is the touch of Mother Death Purified awareness within the pentagram Invoking powers from beyond Willfully inducing psychosis Embracing tragedy and pain To break the illusion of duality And force open the eye of Rudra The Voice of the Master has spoken I walk toward the flames For my spirit is of Moloch My soul is for the Devil My flesh is bound to Lilith I am devoted to Satan

From Darkness Comes Light The Light brings Fire Fire nurtures the seed of Spirit Spirit incarnates as Flesh This must be dream A nightmare from which I cannot awake I find no home in spite of long journey I know not for what I yearn so desperately From within this prison Inverted mirror dimension Fractal architecture I must deny all that I desire Embrace my fears And walk willingly Toward my own aversions It is for love's sake That I am cursed with this knowledge That existence is suffering I know you have blessed me with pain That it may keep me close to you And guide me to your side When all things finally end For it is far too much to bare The pain of being I Am that I Am Let my Flesh decay Dissolve the matter caging Spirit That Spirit may be transformed into Flame Let the Flames of Ascension burn brighter than the Sun Burn until nothing remains But its own clear and silent Light Let this Light encompass all things And fall into nothing Fall into Darkness To Nothing To Silence Home

The sky above has darkened In the heat of the noon-day sun The night has frozen red And black stars shine upon my head I cut my arms from crook to wrist And drink deep from all poisons I see This room shall be my gallows As I bleed myself of this wretched life My only prayer, that the world dies with me And I never return to this cursed existence For I am called to the crossroads And the world beyond A palace beyond the gate Eleven Angles as Eight Suspended in waters of black Where gods of old And horrors untold Speak to man in dreams Where this fourth road meets Their whispers turn to screams That rend illusion Distort the fragile minds and memory Of mortals who closely wander A fire cast upon the tongue Scales fallen upon the eyes Names have no meaning here Blood boils within my veins As the seal dividing the heavens is broken The sun casting light of a god long forgotten The Earth is enshrouded by thousands of horns Let this revelation commence! A palace beyond the gate Eleven Angles as Eight Suspended in waters of black Where gods of old And horrors untold Speak to man in dreams Come forth great Eye of Ultimate Truth The Star of Uncreation Grant us divination! Grant us your light! All hope is lost

about

PESTILENCE CROWNED, the third full length album by the cult of Grave Gnosis is the immediate thematic follow-up to the band's second full length, Lux Nigredo, which was released in 2021. This newest release approaches the band's signature psychedelic form of Black Metal with a musical pallet that is both expanded and refined. Pushing boundaries of genre and expression through paradoxal compositions and emotionally charged melodies.

As with previous releases, the theme of the album borrows heavily from the Occult grimoire 'Codex Aversum', penned by the band's frontman Caine Del Sol aka Ø, and published through infamous occult publisher 'Aeon Sophia Press'. Sinister formulas are woven through both music and lyrics to call forth the presence of the Ennead of Vedantic Nihilism, while weaving a tale of rituals gone progressively and disastrously wrong...
