lyrics

Since the inception of this feeble charade of magnificence,
dressed up with delusion, good manners and pride,
you savoured the thrive of your kind.
Handwritten books, sermons of old fools,
bequeathed the cryptic secrets of ruling.
You would learn with claws primed with crimson,
and you would prosper,
defining the circumstances,
infecting the systems like a virus, as you please

It’s like running through melodies and words
of an endless journey unto the firmament
Where each possible rule of nature will shatter
and you reach the fingers of the gods

Where is the dignity in a world
with the greatest guilt of all
The shame of an utmost and ordinary lack of coherence
as man is god asleep and god is man awake
the road to reprobation is all downhill

Domine, labia mea aperies
et os meum annuntiabit mortem tuam
As retribution of each demise,
of each innocent lamb
crossing the Styx.
Minos tail does not bother to forgive.
Another moon will pass by,
You’ll sit with yellow worn out eyes of gluttony,
as if you couldn’t be anything better,
as if any of this doesn’t matter
for the sake of your greed

Filthy, polluted rain and hailstones pouring continuously
as the three headed dog looms from above,
snarling with his might and echoing
through the ashes of your former rues and your everlasting egotism, in the aberrant manifest of a paradox

Where is the dignity in a world
with the greatest guilt of all
The shame of an utmost and ordinary lack of coherence
as man is god asleep and god is man awake
the road to reprobation is all downhill

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 5 fans who also own “Gluttony”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 4 fans who also own “Gluttony”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

Exiled, Punished...Rejected
by Beltez

supported by 4 fans who also own “Gluttony”

Another year older and perhaps slightly wiser, I had to do the wise thing and buy this stunning effort by Beltez. While less avant-garde and more direct than A Grey Chill and a Whisper, this album is a tour de force of melancholic and dark melodies, equally comfortable at breakneck speeds as it is in its more contemplative moments. Atmospheric to the hilt, the robust production value makes this feel far more powerful than most ABM contemporaries. Be wise, do the right thing, and buy this! Ippocalyptica
