Likened to a bull, tenaciously red with hatred
yet patient for the gain in a muscular mode of deception
pulling the wool for unequal exchange
flaying generations to immiseration
Cimelia - bejeweled gold
fanciful disbelief becomes you
as you look upon halls of wealth
with the watery impoverished eyes of children
heed! Their cup runneth over…
while thy table bespoke famine
heed! They rest on the laurels of slave masters
While thy calloused hands carry aged burden
heed! Breath deep, a judicious air
The wall grows long…longer still…
visions of gore in the vengeance waking
vortex of misery, unsheathed hatred quaking
inverted oppression in the violent expulsion
intransigent reprisal, unyielding convulsion
Breath deep, a judicious air
Lungs filtering sleeves of gold
Vomiting righteousness and equity
As the wall grows longer
Yes, it too, warms… tenaciously red
This album is everything I like to find in my sludge metal and then some. Two minutes into the first song and I was already adding it to my collection. Simply amazing. pichazos
Black Renditions has been a scene-sundering release, dividing purists and non-purists even more. Fly In the Trap moves away from pop covers while also avoiding classic black metal themes to review one ov the 21st centuries' most interesting (and disturbing) trve crime stories. Spider God orchestrate it using extremely melodic black metal with raw, highly infectuous vocals. Especially the back half of the album never runs out of steam. I highly recommend it!
Rest in peace, Elisa. David Fischer
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
