Bleak winds of destiny, Earth under scrutiny
One species at fault
Shrouded in mystery, all this hypocrisy
Pretentious to the core
Slaves to a system created by man
Like cattle they’re running in circles
A great deception, deceiving yourself
for the glory of one
Sentenced to suffer, condemned to conform
until all returns back to nothing
Mindless entities giving up on liberty
Just death shroud existence for everyone!
But in the end everything becomes nothing
All experiences throughout this meaningless world, obsolete!
Striving towards one destination
All your worries and dreams shall be buried in time with the rest of humanity..
No interaction… No more… Deception…
Just silence for evermore…
When emptiness takes over all that remains
Perception far beyond this life
To compensate discrepancy
The dark and silence shall remain in death and beyond
A billion cries across the sky will be followed
by the eradication of humanity
Hear how those cries turn into silence….
See how all matter on Earth turns into dust
The universe smiles once again!
No reaction… No more… Connection…
And no light shines evermore….
In the corners of my imagination
I saw visions of eight billions graves
The error of humans restored, disruption erased, the vermin retained
And no emotion when it crosses my mind,
that one of those graves shall mark my name…
Perception far beyond this life
To compensate discrepancy
The dark and silence shall remain in death and beyond
A billion cries across the sky will be followed
by the eradication of humanity
And when disaster strikes
to end all human life
You’ll realize that all of it was worthless
The time is finally nigh for all
to dissolve in the beyond
None of your worries, none of your dreams
none of your lives were significant
So you might as well end it before the eternal black takes your worthless life!

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
