Gangrene Dream

Befouled wounds caused by neglect
Phobetor heralds the coming death
Apeirophobia instilled by somatic decay
Febris curses the mind
Vile hallucinations consume
Banishment of all sanity:
Ecstasy of life
Inebriated by putrefaction
Dazed agony blinds all thought,
Rampant devouring of mortified flesh
A slow cerebral slip into nothing
Purifying nothing, pacifying all
Opiating eternally
Tabes' flesh
Purgatory in decay
Deserved anguish
Perfect loss of order
Chaos reigns
Koios' endless torture
Complete death
Vibrant tones give way to black
Doomed to fester with no epitaph
- Solo-
Autophagic existence
Drawn to the living corpse
Mankind's final suffering
Governing self-eradication
No one left to mourn
Anthropocene termination

Into Megatopheth

Pass through the fire
Your hope and your blood
Besmeared idol
Suffused to a flood
Cries echo through
Blazing chambers
Descending all to
The Megatopheth
Their demise ever-lasting
Autophagia to quench the hunger
The beauty of mindless aberrance
Can't they see? Can't they tell?
The rape of Elpis, destined for hell
Into the eternal flame
Gore-adorned king of sin
False promises to lesser beings
Repulsive sequestration
Divine infestation
Into Megatopheth
Salvation through death, blessed with putridity
Despondence at birth, consummation of styx-flesh
Degradation of the flock!
Moloch's celebration through immolation
Horrid and grand, nobility through bloodshed
Sprawling necropolis: a scorching entombment
Tormented at altars of sacred blood and fire
Charred remains fill every crevice
Butchery of youth to preserve the old
Into Megatopheth
Edicts and litanies are uttered by the Majesty
Eternal cremation, result of incessant defamation
Death creeps forth with the hounds of Adranus
Your sacrifices in vain, you will burn just the same

Effigies of Obsolescence
06:21
|
|

Accelerating deterioration following the peak
Plunging towards the certain end
Drown in excess, life's fabric fully deformed
Feasting upon their own, sanity dwindling to the corrupt
False panacea to deceive them all, no relief from degradation
Man becomes carcass, home becomes catacomb
Blackened wings: the devouring swarm
Apotheosis of the frail, herald the sterile until they all fail
Malformed flesh breeding ever faster
Mankind's funerary effigy, lying to decompose
Lost souls and frayed minds, all headed to Golgatha
Revelations of Consummation manifested through the broken
Phlegyas drowns
Swarm of the disincarnate,
Effigies of Obsolescence
-Solo-

Adipocere Feast

A God who lives on his fathers,
Who feeds on his mothers...
Akhenaten is the sha of heaven
Who rages in his heart
Who desecrates the being of every god,
Who devours their entrails
When they are to return,
Their bodies bloated with curses
To drown in Nun,
Ascension to the Void
Existence ceased

Etched Shadows

Flesh - stripped by blinding fire,
Bleached surfaces reveal a merciful death,
Arrows that cleanse, impurities obliterate
Corruption hastens with alteration,
A prolonged harvest awaits
Boils seal your gruesome fate - Death comes.
Morbus haunts freely
Writhing
Torment
Scorching
Entombment
Damnation: forced through dismay
Woeful vermin cannibalize
Dusk - descending on Man
Helios writes the epitaph with ashes
-Solo-

Fustuarium

|

Breeding grounds of all-consuming death
The blessed ones' and their sanguine feast
Fustuarium
Heretical wretches strewn across Ge's altar
The Mad God dances with Panic and Rout
The lies that we utter, the pain we inflict,
All to appease, the sacerdotal sick
The desecration act infests the Life-Giver
For every tenth; a worsened fate
Demonic acts veiled by false piety
Mankind's benediction fall on deaf ears
Devout Age, Heretical Age, Flesh Age, Ash Age...
Reign of the Impure, vilification of Once-Sacred
They all die
And as their remains fester, none see their fate
Their sacrifice was in vain
-Solo-

Festering Carcinolith
06:08
|
|
||
|
Barren and scorched in its wake
Forcefully convulses by decay
Stygian seeds suffuse the disease
Corrupting the fundaments of nature
Blasphemous monument erected
Malignant flesh conjured
Malformed and impure
Horrid existence realized
Altered then consumed
Festering Carcinolith
Aberrant blights disfigure
Now detestable: The Once-Revered
Atrocious metamorphosis
Putrid deluge suffocates
As cancerous growth cripples
The Garden withers in Nigredo
Vanth's torch extinguished
Apparitions suffer
-Solo-

Realms of Exquisite Morbidity
by Malignant Altar
supported by 73 fans who also own “Effigies of Obsolescence”
I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise.

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.
