lyrics

Slumbering
On this solitary throne
The clock is ticking on the wall
The bird pops out
The jarring chimes ring their alarm
I awake, bereft of pride and pomp
You’re decomposing
Out there in the snow where I left you
The icy wind howls
The sky turns dark and green
The trees sway in anticipation
Of the wedge tornado crossing I-40
Towering above the clouds
I pluck the tornado off the ground
And split the atom
Push the last two molecules
To the edge of the visible universe
The temperature drops
Colder than the lunar crevices
Gravity ceases to exist
The wolf inside is howling
Tearing the sun apart with its unchained jaws
Eyes blaring
Foaming at the mouth
Snapping through the bars of the cage
At the ignorant laughing faces
Bring forth your domesticated Southland dogs
So I can feel the blood of their necks
Bubbling and warm on my teeth
Dead heaps of flesh all around me
I slay both animal and human
The planets keep hurtling away
At astronomical speeds
As the universe expands
The light of the stars declines
I howl at the moon
During its final orbit
In remembrance of you
Close my eyes and chant
Clinging to the last spark of magnetism
The trance begins
The tornado carries me back home
To our sunless interior

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-

total brain melter! Krallice decides to take their music in a slightly different direction, introducing extremely chaotic and technical riffs amidst super complicated drum patterns. heavy Behold the Arctopus vibes from this one. n. charlene excelsia
