Flagellum Universalis

mourner This is an altogether very different beast from their 2018 album Kelevsma. Twisted and full of dissonant unease Flagellum Universalis is aggressive and brutal in a way you probably will not notice at the beginning. The rough and sharp sound becomes really piercing (in a good way) after some time. Continue listening and increasing the volume is like getting yourself seriously wrapped up in barb wire. Favorite track: The Woven Chords of Ecstasy.

Slug. Christ on a pointy stick, this is excellent. Abrasive, dissonant, and brutal. Favorite track: Primeval Cognition II.

Onyx pearl in the night sky Your presence eternal Α lantern of light in the nocturnal darkness Guiding me in the forgotten paths of ecstasy Α fountain of ecstasy in the core of the self Uroboros mother, venomous and benignant. Vulture who devours Voluptuous harlot Captivating poison, mad wisdom. Immaculate trail, enchanted way Can follow the twists and turns of your path A path led by the light of your beacon United we rise our twisted hand of divine abolition And spit on the earth our poisonous bile Together fulfilling our passion and nourish our sin The thundering crush of our fist Shaking the base of this world A new domain to reap and conquer Legions of horrors come forth Ancient beast forgotten and dwelling in shadows Hungry for human flesh Their thirst quenched with the souls of mankind Voracious fiend of the stars Distorting reality Redeemer of emotions and self A lunar entity Your life cycle, eternal You! Monarch of the earth's domain Ruler almighty of the crescent black moon reign and your seeds grow higher Unlock the gates to your mystic dominion and accept me inside Allow me to enter and fulfil my destiny

Bells knelling, a return to madness. Stakes burning, the odor of burning flesh. Drums beating, a rhythm enchanted. A furious dance releasing the senses. Venom coursing the veins, the deceit disperses. A fallen king reigns dominant in his dimension. Oscillation of space and time. Shadows appear as reality, a fallacy lies in all A bewitched blindness a veil is risen. A dominion of stone, dark, barren and dry. Volcanos spitting ash and brimstone. Intoxication by sulfurous wine. A process splitting the fool from the wise. Voyage of survival, sign of the wandering. A madness of senses, a rite of passage. I roam the craters of lies Black and bottomless pits. Traps for the determined and few. Immersing in darkness, by your image to regain the light that was lost. To rise and reborn like the fire. To rise and retrieve and transform.
3.
A force that delves within the heart A primal will yearning to be heard Subdued yet not silenced. Its shell shattering with might. Searching to break the bonds of inertia. The matter of our cells pulsing the tune of arousal not of destruction. A pyre cleansing yet not burning inside. Gain control and uphold yourself. Saturn has plans for immaculate deeds Seek the means of perfection. Ascending Perfection! Α Devil's Call... Ascending Perfection! Denial of God... An ancient abyss spreads within. Spiralling, beating Feeling and hating. I witness it with eyes open Feeling the admiration absolute. A wanting I will to acknowledge. I want to bathe in its waters uncharted. Naked, released of all shame For my creator stands before me. Can hide nothing, nor I want I am ready to embrace it and be reborn Below.
4.
And as I was falling from heavens Divine rays of light were bathing my clothless body. Detaching myself further and further. Blazing like a comet penetrating the orbit of earth. Burning with the flames of ascension and life. My objection will echo forever across the aeons. My name recalled by those seeking fulfillment and knowledge of all. These shall inherit my burning quintessence. Like a star dawning far in the East. Shine bright you my son. Shine as myself when I fiercely opposed. Fear not the flight of the fall. The welkin you see is only a lie a mere reflection of what is real and true. This grace remains incomplete. Join me by choice, not fear or submision. Bravely enter in the archaic darkness and guide yourself, navigated by my light. Shine through as I did when I rebelled. Shine bright as myself and further beyond!

A spider’s sound, the world trembles Dimensions pulsating, the vision obscures Womb as a husk a web enchanted Ingrained in the founding of creation I emerge reborn out of the red sands My death nothing but a new beginning My temple open for the rays of your dawn Guide me away to your infinite paths Passages woven by your golden strands Roots of emergence, endings of shades Eyes mesmerizing, a knowledge elevated Divine ecstasy, a transcendence forgotten I dive in the sea of space There where time lives and draws breath Obeying your web’s vibrations A dance bewitched, embedded inside And here I reveal this incomplete possibility For power and divine creation Because the key may be unseen, but inside it lies the husk Take me with you Forge the chords of my destiny Pour water in my obsidian roots Breath knowledge and strength into me To bring a fever divine in this new era that is to come

The noose tightens and chokes A sound dull of agony and suffocation Fluids of creation water the insatiable earth Womb of life and of death. The mandrake is born its cries resounding Tendril of hell, the roots form pathways. The dead giving birth, death stands as creator The full moon rages boundless Trail to the great below Demonic touch Ιnebriated journey The nectar of sophia. Here shall I dine tonight The serpentine offers are plenty Ambrosia and the sap of life Wisdom of emancipation Divine chalice Forged by the core of atomic essence Furious completion Draconian breath, draconian birth The dawning of a new era Agonizing screams of the lost souls, composing a frantic rhythm Rhythms shaking the roots of creation, shattering the pillars of law Lo and behold seven days, seven deaths And the stranger remains myself. And when death becomes the creator When the children of whores become kings Beasts are born feral and raging Enlightened to crush the core of formation. The warlock awakens and the Devil bids him welcome With his blood feeding the antediluvian fallen In his own Last Supper. Power he’s granted to wander further beyond. Under the darkening skies, the path unfolds and unravels And boundless roar the waters of life's demise Lo and behold seven days, seven deaths And the stranger remains myself.

This is the Eye of Wrath You are forgotten within dust You die! And watching you die fills us with lust! Secondary traitors- We give no fuck Into pieces we break you within the outmost Dark The greatest Night of all nights... This is the one! As the mighty Red Dragon we ride we see your blackness- your blackness is superficial... And our own... our own has no equal We see your blindness... your blindness inevitable. It is the Eye of the Saturnian Dawn In Golachab you will ruin your miserous world Time to begin the Death toll You have forgotten... that things are not what they appear to be Searching for Answers.. Searching for a Path It is too late now, this is the Eye of Wrath Answers can only be found into the Magic of the underground Into the Worlds Beyond where one only can descend Overwhelming places where our Ego we transcend. The Shells of Darkness seem hollowed or without a meaning But what they reveal is the splendourness of a real living You now perish and your reality distorted... LEPACA KLIFFOTH x3 Flames of Hell ruin their world Let us reign through Goddess Hel Hosting the Spheres of Darkness Into the physical realm Eye of the Saturnian Dawn See the Red Dragon becoming the only Faith and the Old Tehom becoming the only aim. Our Ego we transcend... and about you... About you we eventually forget...

How many times will you bow your head praying for the befallen gardens of Gesthemane? Shatter the never-ending cycle of slavery Destroy the chains of balance. Commune from the cap of gnosis Uphold the blood of the opposer. Spark the flame of higher stimulation. Be reborn within this world and the others. A guided enlightenment Lucem Ferre The crown becomes to shine Lucem Ferre The coronation of a glorious diadem. Submission is the path of the slave not of the man Seize to be the pray become the predator. Wander the world. Discover the secrets of Chorazin, buried in the sands of time. Forge your own circle and move forth, like a spiral chord. Be the chord to penetrate the frame of this world Like Longinu's spear piercing the side of the beggar the king of Defeat, redeemer of naught. Here your will is to be tested Survive and taste the fruit of cognition. The horn of the plenty offered by the grand master Bel. He who has seen above and below. The past and future, that is to become. He is the keeper of Chorazin's black gate Go through and enter its chambers of gold Witness your newborn, majestic reflection Carbon your blood with the sight of your own higher self. Set your prana ablaze! Breath deep and enter...

And I enter the journey Breath deep. Filling my cells with the force of the cosmos Breath out and enter your realm. Shedding aside the halls of all mortal flesh. The crimson temple lies before me. Waiting and yearning for me to cross its ebony arches. Where all things correspond The matter with the ethereal form. Where the greatest of mysteries were cermoned. Where flesh became one in holy communion. The great mother towers before me. Her wings clapsing, in a warm, fiery embrace Her sorcery dwells into the moon Her spawns delve in the earth. Her skin once clay of the earth, now glowing like a dark diamond of the skies Her radiance flows in the crimson tides. Pale and serene like the moon at its fullest Wrathful and vengeful like the blade of a total eclipse. Ecstatic I ponder. The days when the garden was sealed. These once were the halls of our mother banished for refusing to bow the knee to any command. There, was she embraced, like now she embraces. Fiercely and wholly by the other side. This was the place were she resisted, upholding the union of 2 into 1 Not by any order or domination, but by her own will and demand. And yet now I roam in the realm of new Eden The garden of knowledge filled with vines of redemption The orchards of plenty, flowing the nectar of life. The asp cradling the secrets of the Eden Below!
