Without Fear
Long, deep breaths. The silence between the beats of my weakening heart, grows with each passing moment. I believe the end is near. But then I sense the other, he has returned. My eyes attempt to open, to possibly steal a glimpse of light. It may be my last.
“You will not die here. There is much work to be done. They imprisoned you, tortured you, and are trying to break you to nothing, but they will not succeed. You have a purpose. She is waiting for you.”
He. He is me. His voice. The herald of strength.
Stand. On your feet. Breath deep. And prepare.
I hear it. The sound of my heart, gaining strength. Now is the time, to make my voice heard. I take a breath of this acrid air, and I scream.
For her, I would tear every brick down, until I am free, to be with her again. I must break free from these shackles, that are imprisoning me.
Move fast, be silent. Their eyes, ever present.
I have become like a phantom, no weight nor shadow.
I have stepped out of my cell, bare feet on cold stone ground.
I see one of them. I lunge for his throat, wrap my tired, dirty hands tight as he scratches and gasps.
“You’re mine.” I cackle and spit, he’s coughing up blood, and I stare into his eyes and crush his throat.
I. Will. Kill. All. Of. You. I promise you will never see another day.
You will suffer for what you have done to me.
More guards come to me, simply to die.
I am hatred, revenge, your judge and jury.
They’ve released the hounds... I’m running through darkness, this concrete maze may be my tomb. Lungs on fire, muscles burning red.
Fangs sink into my leg, they pounce as I stumble. Ravenous and feral, surging with bloodlust, I sink my teeth into them too.
I can feel their hot breath, right on my heels.
Drooling and hungry for meat, they hunger for my flesh.
A wall of fire, blocking my path. They think themselves bold. Yet I still attack.
The cowards, they think they can hide behind the fire.
I see my shadows cast by lanterns up ahead, I step forward again.
I leap through the flames like a demon spewed forth from the bowels of hell, I bring death. Tearing their flesh from their bones they cry out for a God that I know will not come.
I am here.
I break out onto the grounds surrounding this prison. An army pursues me, I have to keep running.
I climb up the wall, bones break, skin tearing, blood pumping from every pore. I climb through the wire, I leap into darkness, my lover I am coming home. I am coming home.
I have no fear. I only see her face. She is my savior. Mine alone.
I have no fear. I land in the black water. Instinct carries me through. My lungs and heart keep pounding. I have escaped your hell. Now you will fear your shadow.
I will return.
For you.
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! Lukas Kaufmann
An electric upright bass? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of Iceland? Localized entirely within this black metal album? Zachary Gillan
This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. I recently discovered this and really hope these guys are still putting out music. It's just brilliant in every way. Queefer Sutherland
