Frail beings crawl forth from the sun’s infertile slit
Fetid afterbirth crying out to be fed
The knife, aimed at the heart of virtue,
To carve the corruption from the wound.
A pale dream, cut from the gleam in their veins,
Imparts the omen: “Embrace the dying of the light”
Let this gloom pierce their fragile shells
And bleed the essence from their souls.
Abandoned before the crypt
That houses the feeble corpse of man.
“What remains of thine righteous will?
As it festers within your barren womb.”
The cretins flock to the gates,
Where the messiah slid forth
Anointed in sacred discharge,
They devoured his heavenly limbs
The cretins flocked to the gates,
Where the messiah once slid forth
In a final remorseless act
They consumed her from within

Hollow Mirage of Hope
11:11

Graven stares pierce the veil of lies.
Choirs sing in agony: anthems of open throats.
The sun will not rise,
And even so, it will surely set again.
Aspirations decay, as does the flesh.
Anticipation is a feeble dream.
Waking to the light of
Another bastard dawn.
Preachers of idle word:
May all your hopes be naught.
As staunch your tongues may be,
They cannot revive a dead heart
Shrouded in weary apathy,
Drowning in perpetual void.
With crestfallen desire,
It will leave a stain upon your souls
Why bathe in the light?
The gates of hell are open
Drown in worthlessness
Crippled by conscious torment
Hope is a hollow mirage
And only the grave shall see release
Torn apart, the vacant dreams
Frailty and weakness are all that shall be
Revel in grotesque fantasy
Salvation found in the blade’s edge
Hope is a hollow mirage
And pain shall never cease
Torn apart, the vacant dreams
Frailty and weakness are all that shall be
Loveless relics crumble
To dust, never to mourn
For that which isn’t lost,
But never was.
The blank night gazed back
Into the dark abyss
Inside this empty form
And saw itself within.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 6 fans who also own “Bastard Dawn”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!

Allir vegir til glötunar
by Naðra
supported by 6 fans who also own “Bastard Dawn”
Melodic, almost pagan black metal out of Iceland with some of the most aggressive vocals I've heard in the genre. It's balls to the walls from the first note with few respites, but its melodic enough to not overstay its welcome.

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.

Eradication of Nescience
by LVTHN
supported by 5 fans who also own “Bastard Dawn”
Don't get me wrong. This is really good and everything is on point. But I'm just kind of confused about the huge elephant in the room regarding the band's name. Seriously? Like how is this not going to get mixed up with THE Leviathan? The Jef Whitehead 20+ year beast? I mean... what's next - "THE BTLS", "MTRHD" or maybe "VN HLN?" Music like this needs a less obvious touchpoint. Because as much as I like "Eradication of Nescience" - it's now begging to be compared to "Scar Sighted." Aka ... GTFO.
