lyrics
Embrace, a new era has begun
Projecting a definitive alacrity
Brace the new waves arising
The blackened sun is calming down
Throne
No longer feeds me
Greed
No longer intrigues me
Storm
No longer needs me
Drowned my deeds, so I can breathe
The invincible philosophy
Is crashing onto me
The magnitude is surreal
Clearing my false pretence
Tracing the spirit long forgotten
Acknowledging the path untrodden
Replacing the manice causing destruction
Pacing the process of self reflection
Touch of the ocean
Tidal disharmony
All there’s ought to be
Is the presence of sanity
Touch of the ruins
Marks a new belief
All I’m ought to be
Is the essence of morality
Uncovering the inner secrets
Of my molded soul
Immense realization awakens me
Leading me to reality
Breaking the darkness
The light passes through
Unhinder, it reaches me
Setting my soul free
Enigma of time
Adjusting the unforgiven crimes
Bringing forth
The ultimate divine
A new uncrowned king
Reborn to serve
Another humanity’s kin
Altering the curse
The hour Is here
It's finally here
The invincible philosophy
Is crashing down on me
The magnitude is surreal
Clearing my false behests
As far as I can see
It’s all meant to be
A justified disclosure
Guilty I plead
The inevitable I perceive
Of ashes uniformity
The ultimatum is achieved
And fading tides abreast

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
The eight tracks on the latest from German black metal band pummel and hiss, working occasional atmospheric moments into the din. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 12, 2022
An outstanding slab of atmospheric black metal, “Sisyphus” cannily blends texture and terror for a gripping final product. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2021
