lyrics

Once given oaths to break in vain,
we were made to own
all the torments we create

These are the hills,
cold lie the bones
we were charged to keep as whole
So thoughtless we are,
their memories harrowed

Auras spiral out to pull us in,
fraying our eternal bond
Clouded vision in oblivion:
craving existence beyond

Open your eyes…

Look to the east where broke the day
‘Neath the shadow cast,
withered souls to turn away

Once noble hopes,
champions scorned
drawn and quartered by the dawn
Breathless we watched
hate consuming

Auras spiral out to pull us in,
fraying our eternal bond
Clouded vision in oblivion,
craving existence beyond

Open your eyes,
though the winds sting
and snow doth blind
Light of the north,
guide us forward:
we are your chosen

Spirit away
to the sun
on a verdant plain,
and underneath,
the fertile seeds
alive and growing

Damn the hours at dusk
In the eventide our grief is thus

Hanging heads,
stains from fallen tears
Sorrow all that we can bear

Look ahead,
wandering pioneers,
shed the burden from your backs for it is time:
take back your lives

Open your eyes,
though the winds sting
and snow doth blind
Light of the north,
guide us forward:
we are your chosen

Spirit away
to the sun
on a verdant plain,
and underneath,
the fertile seeds
alive and growing

Beyond The Palest Star
by VORGA

supported by 11 fans who also own “Auras”

From the first riffs and notes you are entranced by the majestic power of VORGA. Beyond The Palest Star is among the best black metal albums of this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it lands at the top for a lot of fans. Get out of their way; album three will no doubt be pantheon level for the genre. The growth from the last release is quite substantial. Cosmic Judgement comes for you! Metallurgical Fire

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 11 fans who also own “Auras”

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

The Decline of the Enlightened Gods
by FROZEN DAWN

supported by 10 fans who also own “Auras”

I really cant pick a favorite track, this whole album kicks so much ass with its intensity and ferocity from beginning to end. Definitely a new favorite artist. Really gives off Necrophobic vibes with the melodies and atmosphere. Andrés Salas

Dead Mother Moon (24-bit HD audio)
by Upon Stone

These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024

This band has skyrocketed into my top 10 and there's no doubt why. How can one be as consistent and heavy as them? QuarkStorm
