Keep the balance of forces,
let them not take away the energy,
underneath the columns of fate,
purity will blossom, open the gates now.
Lift the weight of the strongest,
all the rest will seem like feathers,
keep the sense clear, and the mind rough,
eternity will enter, open the gates now.
What if the shadow turns back,
what if it dwells,
what if temptation lasts, what if the last man doesn`t stand.
Periods of dark times,
have shaped the present time, our time,
no return back to the ignorant,
bring on the masters feast, open the gates now.
Duality is anchored,
in every bit and piece, potential,
One can watch the readjustment,
I feel a touch of truth, open the gates now.
For the lesser`s sake, one needs to adapt to,
the weaker´s modesty,
for the greater´s sake, one needs the arrogance,
to compensate the difference, the bloody gates now!
Push forth the drops of time, see how the structure forms itself,
fall into liberation, open the gates of compensation!
Keep the balance of forces,
let them not take away the energy,
underneath the columns of fate,
purity will blossom, open the gates now.
Lift the weight of the strongest,
all the rest will seem like feathers,
keep the sense clear, and the mind rough,
eternity will enter, open the gates now.
What if the shadow turns back,
what if it dwells,
what if temptation lasts, what if the last man doesn`t stand.
Periods of dark times,
have shaped the present time, our time,
no return back to the ignorant,
bring on the masters feast, open the gates now.
Duality is anchored,
in every bit and peace, potential,
One can watch the readjustment,
I feel a touch of truth, open the gates now.

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

I fucking love this band. 100% guaranteed that if you opened me up and listened to the sound of my crazy ass black metal heart, it would most likely sound something like this 🤣🖤 bcb723

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
