Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) A stellar album that seeks to inform you of the things it speaks about, I love the addition of sources in the lyrics. It elevated an already phenomenal release that little much more. Favorite track: Extinction Threshold.

bmurator German Blackened Death Metal. Heartfelt thanks to Ippocalyptica & Funeral Fog for taking me here & their great recommendations! I have little to add except this is an outstanding album in its entirety! Highly recommended!!!

Ippocalyptica Ah, Horresque - death-black metal of quite high calibre that I overlooked for too long, it took Funeral Fog’s recommendation (not the first time I have followed one) to put the band back on my radar. The Devouring Exorbitance is as grand as the title suggests, and while the riffing and tremolo melodies are somewhat traditional DM and BM, respectively, Horresque overlays it all with some Henbane-era Cultes des Ghoules spookiness. Vocals are stand out for the style, too. Lovely! Favorite track: Extinction Threshold.

Funeral Fog Poundingly vicious, horrific in nature. Those drums are devious, guitars and vocals sound like something out of a haunted village. This album will be a ravaging beast!!

Unaware Who your parents are In constant fear Of denunciation You throw yourself into Complete submission Even if it hurts To feel him inside of you Thou shalt have no other gods before Uncle Schäfer The way of the Lord is unfathomable But yours lead into his bedroom The young must be blessed Let’s see if you're worthy To receive the seed of your god And if you don’t enjoy it Than it’s you who is wrong And that’s why you have to suffer Welcome to the place of subjection Now take off your clothes For your epiphany Prepare yourself For the electrifying experience of the holy existence Life is sacrifice Life is pain Sources (German): https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/103439-001-A/colonia-dignidad/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB3CoJsds9c https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonia_Dignidad Sources (English): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC4G6DToi90 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonia_Dignidad

Proclaiming war on nature They brainwashed the naives „Producing more. Conserving more. Improving lives.“ - that's their mendacious myth Despite every leak They keep on spreading Their carcinogenic shit And Round Up their earnings Despite every scandal They keep on selling What should be for free As Pure fucking Life Claiming possession on water With outrageous treachery „Only with a price, something gets a real value“ - that's their twisted logic DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, Dioxin, Dumex, you name it Each time they knew But tried to cover it up They sent their hordes Of crooked scientists, vendors and lawyers To sell their lies and corrupted truth Their endless appetite devours every ethics When the last tree Is cut down, The last fish eaten, And the last stream poisoned, They will realize that you cannot eat fucking money Sources (German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vk8wo1e3NI&t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRsP_Plj5R4 Sources (English): https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/nestle-baby-milk-scandal-food-industry-standards https://waronwant.org/sites/default/files/THE%20BABY%20KILLER%201974.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/oct/04/ontario-six-nations-nestle-running-water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JszHrMZ7dx4&t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIDUYRuiWcM&t
3.	Extinction Threshold 07:08	lyrics	buy track
Wading through red waters of Hvannasund The victim’s struggle increases their triumph What an achievement To butcher the defenceless creatures It's all about the tradition The old, outdated tradition Meanwhile elsewhere in the deep blue endlessness The majestic predators are caught, finned and dumped Left to rot alive What a delicacy What a culture What a pathetic waste There are no words to describe the magnitude of our Megalomania There are no words to describe our Megalomania No words No fucking suitable words to describe our Megalomania In complete calmness Under the blue sky Surrounded by seagulls The floating slaughter factories Find their way across the seas While dragging death behind them Creating tons and tons of casualties Relentlessly Mercylessly Bottom trawling leaves nothing behind but barren wastelands In the end the bycatch will be our own survival Source (English): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YACTNvuijQY https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2016/feb/16/overfishing-is-as-big-a-threat-to-humanity-as-it-is-to-our-oceans https://www.seaspiracy.org/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a289TztePe0
4.	Hermann's End 05:18	lyrics	buy track
Six months I only got six month to serve That shouldn’t be too hard Maybe I even make some friends It started all so harmless Like a game between some teens Some young troubled lads Showing off their powers Things turned ugly real quick First they made my fingers bleed Then they reenacted the torment of private Pyle Till the bars of soap broke to bits The downward spiral Kept turning on and on They just wouldn't stop Their lust for torture seemed endless Please guys Just leave me alone End me if you want to As long as you leave me the fuck alone Next level in the game Was the cleaning of the toilet In absence of any dignity But with my tongue After being force-fed my own vomit It escalated completely They found the hand broom Cracked and brittle What was coming was unbearable I tried to escape my own body To a place of complete void After twelve endless, humiliating hours They found the 'mercy' to hang me with an improvised rope Only the sixth attempt finally brought me relief That’s how my life ended Abandoned of all that is human Dangling from the toilet door In my blood-soaked underpants Sources (German): https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/urteil-im-foltermordprozess-hermann-ist-damit-fuer-uns-ein-zweites-mal-gestorben-a-509504.html https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/haftanstalten-hoffnungslos-ueberfuellt-100.html

Suesan Knorr was my name My life – a never ending ordeal Ultimately found my rest in death Mother – are you satisfied? Mother – Suffer!! After endless years of abuse My freedom was within reach Provided the evidence disappeared My own teen brother as the surgeon Extracting the bullet went terribly wrong Duct taped my mouth shut Bound my arms and legs Dumped like trash Dozed in gasoline struck a match and never looked back My name was Sheila Knorr One year after my sisters death Mum forced me to sell myself In a way, being used by strangers Bought me some peace at home But not for long Until the lunacy reported back Mum! Please! Mum! I beg you! Make it stop! Mum! Please just make it stop!! I confess everything! Mum please, mum please make it stop!! Please let me out!! Please make it stop!!

6.	Earthlings 08:43	lyrics	buy track
Dim light surrounds me The smell of iron and fear is omnipresent Sounds of utter exhaustion Unbearable the exertion One of my siblings Died right after birth Stomped to death by our own kind And I fear he was the lucky one When the macerator Becomes the savior Every time The bipedals appeared And fetched some of us No chance to dodge The chosen ones Never came back No chance to resist No chance to hide My whole short life A fornlorn fight to survive Herded together in our own feces Choking on our own obesity Slowly succumbing to insanity With the weakest Drowning in the river of waste Who am I? Where am I? What is this hell? Who are these shades? Yelling and laughing Kicking and thrashing Cropping our tails, Ripping out our teeth, Chopping back our beaks, Cutting testicles, Skinning us alive, And fully conscious! Why???

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri

Their best record, heavy, melodic, big, riffs everywhere, full of grief and harmony guitars. Feels like an ending of sorts. Jono Schneider
