On the sylvan path we stride
Through a land of mist and might
Over hills, through the dark woods unknown
Spirits noble to light our journey
Under sunset-sullied skies
Realms of kindred life devoid
Enigmatic horizon calls us
Beckoning as we press onward
For I
Believe in false gods, irrational thought
No self-serving scion shall take that away
We stand as one; united front
Arise like the break of dawn, ascend
Flesh and bone remain
When fairy dust runs dry
Cleansed by acid rain
Embrace my path, goodbye
I’ve gone too far
‘Tis all I know
Can’t kill this truth
Just let me go
Beset by fire
I won’t forget the dream
The sights unseen
You promised paradise
But never came through
Nothing but ash
I won’t forget the day
We lost the way
For you’re as hollow
As the ones who you
Claim to rule
For I
At long last see, eternity
A clandestine truth which will not be erased
We stand as one; united front
Arise like the break of dawn, ascend
For there’s no darkness without light
For there’s no evil without right
So fuck this fantasy
‘Twas nothing more
Pray for a day when the pen
Outweighs the sword

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-

Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
A powerful metal opus, blending soaring vocals, intricate melodies, and thunderous riffs for an epic listening experience. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 26, 2023

This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
