Barren wasteland
Even in the spring all that could be found
Was earth and the weeds that grew out of it
This is where I fell
And yes, I still feel the weight of the limbs
That once protruded from my back
That would lift me off the floor
What happened?
What have I done to deserve this?
What a dark place
Even with no shade around
You could feel it in your heart for miles
This planet was bathed in filth
What have I done to deserve to come here?

The Heart Of Reapers

I met a grim reaper once
She had eyes so gentle and still
You might think her an agent of evil
But she was kinder than any man
Yes, I met a grim reaper once
She said “It’s not your time to go,
But I shall stay with you until you wake
So that you are not alone.”
We walked together,
We talked together
Never before had I felt so safe
But still, she the reaper
Was cold as ice
And I was woken by warm, hollow hands
And now I long await
The day I die again
So that I might meet
My reaper, more humane than man
My only friend
My only wish
To die again
So that I might meet
The heart of reapers
My only friend

Each sky dimming as night falls sooner than the last
Illuminated by the moon, my blood drips softly onto the marble tile
What have I become?
My eyes meet the reflections'
This form is representative of all that I hate:
Alive... Alive and human
The marble is staining
I drain myself of the fluid that binds me to this earth
This sky dims, and I watch the stars
And I feel for once, at home

Alvum recommends:
I'd long since been curious about black metal when I came across this record. This set me in the path of discovering more bm and accepting less-than-perfect metal production.

Dinbethes blew me away, so I started paying attention to Dutch Black and found Ossaert. Then I realized P was involved in both projects; and following P, I found Weerzin and then this: Shagor. Total abyss, profundity, whirling blackness, ritualistic hallucinogenic trance chanting echoes, rabid nocturnal wailing, all raging from a chamber in an ageless citadel of Cyclopean masonry buried under the ocean. It’s so raw, yet so multilayered and impassioned. This is great! 10/10

very touching and unique black metal, love it!

Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite.

The San Francisco quartet’s latest effort takes their post-metal to atmospheric new heights, with a resultant sound bordering on the transdimensional.
