lyrics

2. The Vampyric Rabisu at the Threshold (Akhtya Nachttoter)
From below the horizon I rot in the earth
Netherworld opens for my return
Demonic Etemmu to possess this corpse
Udug-hul (‘hul’, ‘evil’) awaken Sedu (‘spirit, aspect of the soul and demon’)

Rising from the coffin
Slumbering among the thirsty dead,
Given the powers of the Southwind
Born of Anu and Ki, Spirit and Flesh becomes an Evil God

Ahhazu (the seizer), Bel-uri (lord of the roof), Rabisu (Lurker)
Lamastu, smeared with blood
From the corners we drink your blood, eat your soul
Lilitu, the pact of nam-erim, Mamitu (oath, curse) eternal

Seven Dimme, Sebitti, Seven Storms of Darkness
Among the ruins and desert wilderness
Joined by blood thirsting Etemmu,
Restless ghosts howling upon the winds
Deathly Alu summoned by demons (Lil-Spirits)

Drink my fill of blood, as Kasapu (casting witchcraft),
I form clouds against my prey (my shadow standing over her)
Storm-clouds cannot be scattered
haunting and seizing limbs

A ghost is sent as a dream, nightmares cling to her flesh.
Fly forth upon nocturnal skies,
Darkened clouds, phantom form
Akhkharu, Alu, Lamastu, Lilitu necromantic Undead

Youth in Ribbons

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode

Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
