lyrics
Breathing in the world of the lies
I’ve sinned in the midst of my highs
Foreseeing nothing but a miracle to emanate
Faint touch of reality
Concluding my very fate
The anchored vision after all
Declaring a certain fall
The unchallenged conqueror
Kneeling to face the abyss
Leading my ignorant mind
To a deceptive curse outlined
Chaining the mere thought that resonates
Doomed by the circle of life
I’ve shined through the edge of the skies
Farseeing nothing but a perfect selfish trait
Vague touch of delusion
Concluding my very fate
The untamed desires at call
Clenching thrust of it all
The malignant manifest
Craving to cause an affect
The anchored vision after all
Declaring a certain fall
The unchallenged conqueror
Kneeling to face the abyss
Screams, yes I can hear
Pain, yes I can feel
Carnage, yes I can breathe
What I have done, yes I can see
Blindly I have followed me
Swiftly my urges swallowed me
Failures that have vanquished me
Now I, know what I will be
Rays of, awareness
Breaching my walls
Uneven structures
All the arid trails
Realization
A longing for change

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
