Solomon's Temple

Set with gold and wealth
Is an altar of glory
White doves sing
Harmonies so sweet
Within this holy ground
Crimson light of flame
Be witnessed
For this divination fell
Into ruin and ash
Atop this holy ground
Lives exist unbroken
Despair unfound
Repentance accepted
All Sins forgiven
In Solomon’s temple
Beholden the pure
For no blood be tainted
Kneel to the angelic
With hands clasped firm
In Solomon’s temple
Curse the damned!
Condemn the wicked!
For we shall be blessed!
Its riches were then taken
Its banners were then torn
The flowers wilted
The doves rotted
Devout found only death
Lain upon their altars
Witness!
Deceit!
Witness!
Myths!
All existence will fall
No divine protection
No human is eternal
All structures collapse

Guardian of the lord
Great Archangel
Bringer of the plague
Leader of the call
Rebels be cast
from the sanctity
Thrown into filth
Of the earth
Legion of stars gone dim
From the blackened sky
For a refusal to bow
At the foot of a throne
Ten horns
Seven heads
Great beast
from the sea
Upon his head
Lies the crowns
Of blasphemy
And retribution
Heretics!
Curse the sky
Heathens!
Descend from light
Heretics!
Curse the gods
Heathens!
Descend from grandeur

Empyrean of God
Rays of divine light
Focused by the sun
To unite the distant
Spirit and matter
Male and Female
Behold this celestiial
Realm of our God
Embrace the heavenly spheres
Held in place by pure unity
Macrocosm
Holds the primal matter
For which all is created
The infinite
The primordial
Existence unfound
For there cannot be form
Embrace the heavenly spheres
Held in place by true unity
Prima materia
from the darkness
Soul from the stars
Spirit from the water
Spawns the cosmos
To purify all matter
Into the material elements
To chasten all matter
Into the natural order

Sulfur!
Mercury!
Submit to this marriage
Of the truest union
Oh! Jupiter our God
Of all light and sky
Oh! Jupiter our God
Beholden the pious
Offered the false keys to St Peter’s gate
A hope that will only bring sorrow
Bring forth a kindred with the divination
For the Papal crown shall cast its shadow
Forgive!
Your hand held high in benediction
Trinity of scepters and crowns
Forgive!
High Priest lead us in ritualistic rites
Over the great bull of heaven
Sulfur!
Mercury!
Submit to this marriage
Of the truest union

Eroded Corridors of Unbeing
by Spectral Voice
supported by 14 fans who also own “Befallen”
This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite....

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantation
supported by 12 fans who also own “Befallen”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

After listening to this and the new album, the only thing growing inside is an overwhelming love for Tomb Mold!

More anthemic, post-metal-inspired screamo from the Virginia heavyweights.

Killed By Mock Execution
by Mock Execution
The Chicago punks seem intent on defying any hardcore conventions, focusing instead on communicating pure disgust for the rotting world around them.
