In the cemetery, where all of you’ll lie
The culprit of your extinction
A symbol of hate, caused by the scourge of mankind
Call of the abyss, hollow emptiness
The voice scorches in my mind
"Into the sub-realm of utter nothingness
is where all should dwell!"
Lurking in the deep, malicious tendencies
Reptilian brain's desire
to hear a billion lives crying in despair
as they are sentenced to be impaled under the blackened sun
Summoned by the void, horrid barrenness
Consumed by its might
“You know your purpose, your destiny
it includes all man
they must perish in flames”
With bloodshed and annihilation
Eradicate mankind for all its flaws.. with pain!
Exterminate, submerge existence into the eternal black
Extirpated lives are worth nothing less than those alive
At least the corpses contribute to the growth of lives
more valuable than a man shall ever be
The Abyss' desire
Death from below…
“Exterminate, submerge existence into the eternal black
Extirpated lives are worth nothing less than those alive”
So the Abyss cries out!
It’s all for the greater good
The abyss’ desire
Death from below!

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

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
An outstanding slab of atmospheric black metal, “Sisyphus” cannily blends texture and terror for a gripping final product. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2021
