Slug. Do you enjoy Sinmara, Lvme, and Grimah? Then give Sisyphean your full attention. Fuck, give this darkness a chance regardless. New album on the way! Favorite track: Nekrokatarsis.

Kadotuksen Varjo With visible influence from Iceland's Sinmara, Lithuania's Sisyphean is a dark sweeping tempest of black metal chaos. Surging with nihilism and dread, Illusions of Eternity is easily a depiction of a dead world, one of acid rain and monuments of humanity coated with ash. Favorite track: The Nest.

Dave Aftandilian Beautifully grimy BM nihilism. All that we are is nothing. We are so focused on crawling through the endless muck that we never even look up to see the sun. Only in death will our lives have any meaning. From writhing maggots corpse-moths will rise, fluttering ashes, funereal sparks, memories of hope long since faded to oblivion.

All time drowns In the waters of infinity The pendulums shadow Enshrouds purpose into nothingness The withered and regressed Children of Gaia Will travel the chthonian halls into the abyss The only true and irreversible journey Thanatos.... Epitaph To The Remnants Not bound by stature, as just and equal to all. Not bound by time, as predictable it is not. Shapes formless. Shadows colorless Words meaningless. Possibilities aimless. A sepulchral catharsis, an ecstatic anesthesia Prepare to greet eternity, upon abbysal shores Enshroud in a black embrace, forevermore... Forever… A rotting foetus back Into a verminous womb. Return to the primordial Degrade back to mud. Leave your world. Exit your body. Rest in thy verminous womb. An epitaph to the remnants. An opus of decay.

With bleeding hearts towards nothingness Existence as a frozen cell in a sheltered abyss Flesh, blood, emptiness Let death embrace you beneath majestic wings The chalice of desecration filled with psychoactive bliss The womb of an abomination opens the gate A mighty serpent ascends and fully awakes Divine coronation of an emerald dream Sacrilegious landscape filled with amphetamine Beneath the ashen clouds Necrocatharsis The thought of de-sanctification slowly drowns Necrocatharsis Glorious ascension through flames and broken bones The pillars have to crumble Marching towards the new throne Succumb and bestow No longer blinded by false hope The light shineth on thee no more As the radiant image of desperation Gazed through a reflection Into nothingness Forlorn.

Tavo pragaištis Triumfuojančios sažinės viltis Kasdienybės melodija, klupimo ironija Desperacijos vaizdinys į smaugiama realybę. Pasiduok bedugnei, susitaikyk. Su aplinkos laikinumu Ką kalbet apie tave? Kai savo atspindy nematome saves? Paskęsk.Savyje Sustok. Sulaikyk. Nepaleisk. Įkvėpk. Iškvėpk. Įprasmink. Užsimesk. Pamiršk. Pradink. Susileisk. Paskęsk. Savyje. Bekrisdamas į bedugnė, ekstazės srovėje Pažvelk trumpam į viršų Įprasmink save gelmėje. Neskubėk, sustok tėkmėje Suvok. Tavo pragaištis Absurdiškos moralės viltis Stiklo šūkės tera tavo atspindys Šlovės akimirka. Realijos beprasmybė. Įkvėpk ateinančios nakties malonumus Iškvėpk bedvestančio saulėtekio ekstazė

The Nest 03:54
Everyone am I, but together none. Amongst shattered shards of illusions You are yet a slave to your own image. Everywhere am I, but together nowhere Amongst empty walls I am left to stand And still seek all that remains A pathway down the nest, down the id Reality is transparent, transparency is a mirror We are only a reflection of our inner image.

A key to a desert of a starving sanity. Victims in adoration of their executioners. A pilgrimage for euphoria Blind lust perdition A shedding of the essence Of thy own body In the cold silence of stones A noose of salvation Shattered glass Only empty walls remain And the remnants of Thy bodily passions A symphony of rattling teeth … …Only to be a shattered glass conclusion. Adoration of self-destruction Victims in adoration Of their executioners There is no meaning, If you lose the illusion …of eternity.

Behold the great illumination An ashtray blackest of them all The sun of tomorrow still stands to be seen When all monuments of today stand in ruin I will step into the monuments Of the screaming infinity of darkness My shrine of mad laughter Will deform into a shapeless dream The tombstones will embrace Songs of the gallow birds While we traverse the transcendent pit Of invoked “cosmic” self-erosion Behold the great illumination An ashtray blackest of them all Harvest remnants of our nests Be fed to the carrion worms Down the primordial Down the Id Down the nest Down the Id
