lyrics
Fecund growth lifts the dross of the soul;
creeping green braving drafts of the cold.
Winters reign bound to fade at seasons pass;
tainted flesh, scent of rot in the air.
Ranks gathered, bound for the evenings mass- minds lent to the ritual.
Chants spoken low in the fading light,
dark powers awoken.
Behold the forbidden font of knowledge most unclean;
a writhing mass of twisted flesh.
Consumed in frenzied lust evoked in word and deed,
a menagerie of wicked worship.
Idols lit by the light of the stars,
in carnal offerings their cruel remit.
A sacrifice of life and limb,
its gift of pulsing blood beneath the skin.
My fate- that of the conquered one, soul lost to the equinox.
Devoured, fodder for eldritch gods, the awakening of Samhain.
Soon approaching the midnight hour- sanctified as the spirits rise.
Opened doors for infernal powers- pacts fulfilled in the wrathful tide.
The malediction complete; the banishing of the pentagram.
The sacred circle now broken, to begin anew next spring.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
