lyrics

This is my conviction, thus it shall be written
That I stand in question and willingly cross the line
Father of derision and king of perdition
I seek to stab the heart of the divine

This is my trial, but my convictions are known
My sentence shall relieve you of all earthly deeds
So impotent on your benevolent throne
Your subjects in piety live life on their knees

Your ineffable will masquerading as love
Has poisoned me towards your favorite creation
An archetype of evil, hatred, and war
I’ll become your most feared abomination

Fallen in defiance, black wings speed toward the earth
I will make dust of man and shatter your words

If mortality is such a gift to mankind
Then eternity is mine to defy the divine

Careless usurpers of their dogma decreed
A fallacy that your wisdom could not see

Summoning their souls and bending their wills
To tear them from you as you’ve forsaken me
Bringer of flames in the pits of hell
I am the reaper, the terror, the beast

about

Tormentium Eugene, Oregon

Tormentium was summoned from the eternal grey of the Cascadian Willamette Valley, in Autumn of 2004. It was created with the intent of expressing their darkest musical vision beyond reality.

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 6 fans who also own “Fallen (In Defiance)”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Triptych

If you told me that Dischordia shared members with Dysrhythmia I'd believe it without checking. Angular, dissonant constructions that give no fucks about human enjoyment. I need more. Ghuughra

Resonance: Crimson Void
by Mare Cognitum / Aureole

supported by 5 fans who also own “Fallen (In Defiance)”

Some of the best cosmic black metal I've heard. Mare Cognitum continues to prove themselves to be masters of crafting a vast, celstial soundscape, and the Lovecraft-esque atmosphere present throughout Aureole's half definitely made me want to check out the rest of their discography. honeycombguy
