This isn’t right, I’m tired of living this way
Running and hiding through the night and day
The refugees we have become, hearts of glass and clay
No, this isn’t us, so here’s what I say
What ever happened to our great renown
We were the stars in the sky, not the dirt on the ground
We were so strong, we were so proud
We were like kings, ‘til by the beast we were found
I still remember how it tore our walls down
And in a storm of fire and blood, so many drowned
Traumatized by the bodies disemboweled
And the headless corpses on the ground
I won’t sit by while the beast rapes our dreams
And while there is no justice for the screams
Someone must do this, and so it seems
That I must rid the world of this beast
For the ones that have died
For the widows that have cried
I set forth on my way
For this fell beast I shall slay
As the quest begins
I’m off to slay the beast that lies within
Fuck the haters who tell me I can’t win
‘Cause at the end of the day, I’m really doing this for them
‘Cause every time that I close my eyes
I see those black wings flying through the sky
Raining death down from above
Now I know what must be done
Promised my friends that I would not die
But they could tell from the look in my eye
All those things that I said before I left with a sigh
I will fight, but will I come back alive
Familiar faces always out of sight
And nothing good is ever in the light
At the edge of the field, I never wanted to fight
But somebody’s got to step up and make this right
I set out on my way
Towards unknown
To make a change

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
