lyrics

Heedless swings the sword of justice
Quenchless is its lust
Forfeit is the caitiff's life
By inquisitor's holy writ to seal his fate

Bitter is the binding verdict
Unwieldy and dual-sided is the blade

By right of accident of power — I condemn you

By luck of the draw, turn of the cards — I condemn you

By the law of the sum of the dice — I condemn you

For desecrating what was fair — I condemn you

For corrupting what was pure — I condemn you

Dragged through the gates now thrown open as towers crumble, and chaos manifests with boundless fury...

At last in the lowborn's late hour
A feral rage in his heart to awaken
As he crosses the threshold
and lays eyes upon all that's been taken

For the chains of vengeance will not be broken
And the days of judgement once set in motion shall not cease

Choke on the rancor of thralls for the rest of your days
Now in this Imperial Dusk

Lay blood and skulls upon the scales of gold! More kindling to the fires of retributive carnage! For the hallowed purge can never err! And the innocent have nothing to fear! For the old ways are banished forever, and we are your benevolent shepherds. Hunt them down, one by one, scream their wicked names! That every traitor, every last apostate may step forward and confront his judge....

— Inspired by the short story "The Stage Show" by Mikulas Kolya

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
