lyrics
The story of the church's caretaker who found the chamber of the architect, but then fell into a trap and was then left to slowly die in the pit below the church by the one known as “The Traveler.” These are his last words and thoughts just before he joins the others below in eternal sleep.
________________________________
Can anyone even hear me?
Or are the words that pass my lips,
forever sealed inside the walls
of the catacombs below the crypts?
I can feel with my hands
But my eyes see only darkness
and illusions
Or are they real?
I do not know anymore...
While the hours turn into days
how much longer must l wait
to be found or to die?
I can't endure another moment
in the dark…
How did I come to be
lost within the bowels of
the Holy Church ?
A fiend, who walks with the shape of a man who calls himself, "The Traveler"
He told me of something hidden,
Something I was supposed to find down below
And like a fool I listened,
at the cost of my earthly life
and my own immortal soul
Right behind the altar,
just as the Traveler had said,
an entrance was revealed that led to a chamber deep within..
An inscription was etched upon the wall next to a single iron door
and on the iron handle marked were the four compass cardinal points.
"Whomever desires to enter,
Light and Faith are not the same.
For one to leave this chamber, a simple choice must then be made..."
One door leads to Heaven and the other leads to Hell,
but if Three times your Weight in sin is Empty, you have already chosen well."
What was it that the Traveler had said? What did he mean by, "Three turns to the West…?"
I did not know...
But with a rightward turn of the handle, I learned the meaning of those words, as below my feet then opened up a chasm in the earth...
The Other Door…
Looking over the edge, the Traveler said:
"How far you've fallen, my friend!
But if you have still faith enough, the angels will surely then raise you up!"
Caretaker:
"Let the Lord now save his servant, let his prayers not be in vain!"
Traveler:
"Perhaps you should ask the Devil instead for this is His Domain…"
Caretaker:
"Then I beg of Lucifer to raise me up from this pit!"
Traveler:
"So wait here for your new master to come to your aid,
For I must leave and close the door as the hour is getting late..."
Caretaker:
"This cannot be!! You must not leave me down here to die!"

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

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
