lyrics

Minstrel maniacal
The threads of black we bear
Reflection of a million wary stares
Zealots and artisans
Of a soundtrack to a world most vile
Craving enrichment for an arid life
Barely worthwhile

Human outliers
Of a most unearthly kind
Reject a planet anesthetized

Dark dispositions
Cradle hearts unfeigned

Oh how pitch-dark vesture
Shadows a blissful soul
Stirring in harmony
With the darkened song inside

Emperors of the black cloth
Emperors of the black cloth
Evermore
Not of mortal men
Eternally to sing the nightfall's hymn
An unlit path we walk
Beyond the end
Fangs bared in a roguish grin

Truly, without the pipeline
To a sound divine
'Tis a world devoid of meaning
Spirits forever pine
Beyond the end
Fangs bared in a roguish grin

Emperors of the black cloth
Emperors of the black cloth
Evermore

Astringency recommends:

Carry My Bones
by Sidian

This album is raw emotion from start to finish. The guitar work is great, but I think this album really shines in its vocals. You can hear the emotional anguish in his voice, highly recommended. -Jake Astringency

Baptism Death
by Vrenth

This album is amazing, evil-sounding death metal. The production is raw, but never at the expense of the music. The lead guitar work is especially memorable. -Cameron Astringency

Tales Of Othertime
by Stormkeep

This album is an awesome callback to 90's symphonic black metal, and the production offers a modern take on classic sounds, like Emperor and Dissection. A must listen for fans of the genre! -Aaron Astringency

Impermanence

Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back. Facepalming Panda

Channeling philosophical quandaries into cavernous death metal, the Australian trio turn modern power struggles into an aural advantage. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 13, 2022
