Eye of Burden

In the beginning, as it was and so shall it be in the end of days,
Light was cast upon the void and all its horrors.
And all that is vile began to writhe from brine and sod,
Proliferating fear and isolation
Beyond the eyes of gods.
Rising to ascendancy upon the backs of fatal flaws,
So each day we rise and look to the light of the sun.
It is with ominous sense of foreboding of what's to come.
The wrath of nature's law
And fate's obscured hands weaving webs of delight and despair,
A wretched thing to spend existence self aware.
The weight of all things placed squarely upon our shoulders,
The light of knowledge blinds our eyes and drives us into delusion.
Alone on a throne of failure,
Circling the spirals along the paths to unbind thy soul.
With great power comes great pain,
And all that is lost in the end will erase all that was gained.
Is this curse to be held in the highest of reverence,
Or is it to be scorned and spat upon?
Is it possible to discern the difference?
The dredging grind of questions unanswered
Paired with the impetuous will of nature,
An impeccably functioning environment of self sustaining entropy set to linger through the eons.
And so as the ages accrued the permanence of this despondency metastasized throughout reality, manifesting in manifold forms sublime and sinister with no reprieve for the many to remain unanswered.
All is lost.
To the void we return.
As it was, so shall it be.

The Harrowing Steppe

Upon the barren plains
Of spiraling desolation
Where no life dwells
And all color is painted shades of grey,
The mire of stagnation
From which no light can escape
Contests to expand
Consuming all in its radial path.
Amidst the deafening silence
Disrupting frozen shadow,
A thunderous cracking of the static
Defiant of catharsis,
Renouncing abject darkness,
New strength alleviates my atrophied limbs.
From pits of despair
My emaciated form rises
To set forth again on the endless journey
Across the vastness of the expanse.
With every step the skin of my feet blister
Peeling away revealing the muscle and bone.
With every glance my eyes find no oasis
In this bleak and inhospitable home.
There is no end,
There is no beginning ,
Only the journey
And the vastness of the expanse.

Stygian Maelstrom
04:42
|

A place of fear, a cimmerian vortex,
Resounding with the screams of the forsaken and forgotten sense of self,
The realm from which nightmares are born to incubate and manifest in hideous form.
Causing the soul to wither,
Making the flesh decay,
Confined to this waking terror,
The shrieking winds of the maelstrom howl
Eviscerating any sense of certainty
Stripping the self to only fear and doubt.
Devouring blackness, wasted time.
Endless torments, of the haunted mind.
These walls ever changing,
Twisting corridors contortions of thought,
The horrifying realization that this prison of the mind by my own hand was wrought.
Twisted and torn in the endless vacuum between epiphany and entropy for countless lifetimes, the spirit is tempered and the fire is doused.

Gravenchalice takes a triumphant and complex sound and mixes it with classic Black Metal melodies and thundering drums that just works so well. This sound has been big since DSO became popular, however it doesn't take the dissonance and instead layers everything to make everything nice and beefy while having a great sense of melody. A great EP. 4/5
