Communion of The Nameless

by Gråt Strigoi

Jordan Vauvert Gråt Strigoi a su créer un univers en déréliction dans A Path Through Ashes : il réitère l'exploit dans Communion of The Nameless et, tel un Dieu courroucé ou un humain comme Oppenheimer, il le détruit dans la foulée en y mettant toute sa puissance. Gråt Strigoi conserve la même approche expérimentale : son black metal s'inspire de plusieurs genres mais aussi rend hommage à d'autres groupes, Thou en tête, pour que le cataclysme émotionnel soit total et spectaculaire. C'est vraiment monumental ! Favorite track: Ex Nihlo.

porcelainheart- This is incredible stuff. The Thou worship is so evident in this, this instantaneously took me back to the early days when I first discovered Thou. DSBM meets funeral doom. FFO early Altar of Plagues and early Thou. Favorite track: Ex Nihlo.

Retribution has been served No more do we suffer the world of old The flame extinguished The world of ash has been reborn Hidden beneath the crumbled brick and mortar There is one Chosen by the sages of old Freed from mindless philosophy Constructed to surpass newly found fealty The devotion to endure this new life To carry the hollow shell into the new light For darkness will carry us, light will guide us
3.
Ex Nihlo 16:01
Risen from the deepest bowels on the unknown Once was man A primordial Being Formed by flesh and bone The fragile remembrance of the open wounded earth Searching the ashen land to find Subjects to his will The heretics of the old age Lending an arm and thought to such hollow humanity The newly arisen prophet Offers us cursed anemoia A hazed dream The primordial being Born from flesh Born from bone Born from void The self-proclaimed Nameless King
4.
Fallen from the walls and pillars of heaven and beyond With newfound fealty they build Broken backs and broken wills The deep void within the eyes of these mortal shells shows us grace We will struggle together As the temple arises bearing testimony to the superstition and sloth of men Carving the earth Shifting mountains Bending rivers like a candle I wasted away gathering up at dawn, my melted wax and read within whom to mourn excess justifies nothing Without memory we erect a familiar security A monolith to humanity's last comfort An invincible peak A silent shrine that reveals only a numbing deception Constructed from ash and stone Made from ruin with only the desire to serve
5.
Mourning under the blackened sky A lament for light long forgotten The new sacred mass rituals assert themselves For we shall not hinder nor rust Condemning our fate through self-flagellation Through pestilence and pain For the abhorrent sins of old will be absolved to prevent doom and despair of the tormented soul But to what avail We who are alive Who are left Shall be caught together in clouds of thickened ash We trust in the illusion of life Only the fate of immurement waits for the mindless drone We shall bathe in his majesty’s righteous light and at thy twilight, old thoughts return In great waves of nostalgia This forced reality is nothing more than a curse The king’s blessing that is true to every fault. Forgive me For I have not felt this grief in my heart The overwhelming burden and questions of my tortured soul His righteous light calls and it fills me with the warmth I once desired The mind is a cell so cold and dark For this is the only comfort humanity can endure The endless endeavour to serve a foolish trait.

about

“This project, and it’s members, are explicitly
anti-nazi, anti-fascist and anti alt-right.
We want no confusion in this
matter.

If you are racist, sexist, homophobic,
transphobic etc. please do this one favour for
us...

Leave us the fuck alone,
Don’t buy our records.”

This album is a concept album and acts as a sequel to the narrative started on our previous release, 'A Path Through Ashes'. The album is split into two sides, with the latter side of the album being more depressive and experimental, reflecting the bleakness of the lyrics by infusing doom and sludge metal influences.
