lyrics

The story of a mysterious visitor, who asks the church's caretaker to spend the night in the chapel and claims to have firsthand knowledge of events from centuries past.
________________________________

Traveler:
"I am merely but a weary traveler seeking rest
inside the Holy Chapel's walls as a single evening's guest.
In return, my knowledge will be given freely as the air.
Both the known and the hidden,
are mine to be shared"

Caretaker:
"What brings you here to sleep within the Chapel of Our Lord?
Your face, it seems familiar, have I not seen you here before?"

Traveler:
"An endless search for the Garden of Eden by the way of the setting sun, only to return to the very same place in which my journey had begun.
I have heard it said this place is not of Our Lord, but instead signed to another by a written accord.
For I once knew a holy man who found beneath our feet
A dark place of worship none who live have ever seen."
I can still remember
The words that he had spoke ...

'Three turns to the west..
'And from the east open the door'”

Caretaker:
"You must be mad,
for the one of whom you speak
was burned alive for his crimes
fifty years and one century before"

Traveler:
"Nonetheless
I saw him then,
just as I see you now
You, of little faith, why not listen to my words?
For I come from a time when the prophets walked the earth
I have been blessed with an unnaturally long life,
just as once were Adam's offspring
whose centuries numbered nine
When the first bricks here were laid and the mortar not yet set
Something was concealed by the cunning architect.
Just look behind the Altar and there you will see
An entrance has been hidden
By the stone of the Penitent’s feet.

Caretaker:
"Madman, Demon , leave at once, go back from whence you came!
Whether a fiend or a charlatan, you will leave here just the same."

But the visitor just laughed, and said in a great voice filled with mirth:
"Now even the Devil himself goes into the church!"

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

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

I suck at reviews- just buy it. It rips tremendously, and these guys are on the ascent. The shirt is amazing as well. Archmage Orladin
