In destruction
The flight of fireflies
The birth of lost control, a cry in the night
Inside the dungeon
Inside the waves of my head
I try to grasp it, chasing what's in myself
Now it happens and now I'm myself
It's coming down to the last second
The bridge is not safe
Safe
But it helps me to escape
Escape
And even my demon
Know things and join me
And who are you to me?
Me
Life you took away
Away
And still the temptation
Know things and join me
By seduction
The toxic death arrives
The search for fireflies
Through mists in the night
Inside the temple
Inside the shimmering light
I try to follow
The lights in the sky
To break the suffering
Its tainted, life it steals
In prison, in life's cell
You'll learn the way of the thorn
In trial for living
It keeps us all
In the cloud
It's coming down to the last second
The bridge is not safe
Safe
But it helps me to escape
Escape
And even my demon
Know things and join me
And who are you to me?
Me
Life you took away
Away
And still the temptation
Am I alive?
The taste of salt
Is this what you are, anger?
It pours down on me like hailstorms
I'll see you again
The fallen, the fallen man
When we are alone
You can't disappear
The fallen, the fallen man
Since you live inside of me
Inside of me
In destruction
The flight of fireflies
The birth of lost control, a cry in the night
Inside the dungeon
Inside the waves of my head
I try to grasp it, chasing what's in myself
I don't belong here
The doors are shut
And I see hell

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
Scalding lo-fi metal from RodtGod that puts a premium on immediacy and brutality, with terrifically bracing results. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 12, 2022

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear
