Liner Notes

Been working on this one for too long now, and number 3 is already snapping at its heels, so it's about time it gets posted so I can move on...

#metal #blackmetal

Lyrics

Tendrils of ochre light seep over this cracked path All hail the black prince Blessèd herald of convention

Wreathed in splendour beholden to none the avatar of despair steps forth

Impositions from behind inflation's bright veil Rupture causality Portend the annunciation

Degenerate Yet born of nothing The void incarnate Saviour, catechist, tyrant

Heed The hounds of Ishtar Behold The hounds of Ishtar Beware The hounds of Ishtar

Strapped in go! and away! classic metal lines and those drum dominates. Those vocals just flow through you and i love that back wail!

Dark and gritty and just what I needed this afternoon! Killer work.

Yasss, here we go! Really digging those dissonant and ripping lead guitars again! They make the atmosphere very nightmarish. Nicely brutal vocals.

I was cooking dinner with this track blasting through the kitchen speakers. I was making Surinamese Roti, and it felt as if the red chillies were dropping straight out of the speakers and into the pan. Tasty!

You are, and remain, the gold standard for this sound in the FAWM-iverse. 👨‍❤️‍👨

The note / tone you hit on "Rupture causality" literally hurt me through the computer.

And then there was a harmony solo, and I became unabashedly aroused.

So good, my friend. Rest assured, I will behold the hounds of Ishtar.

Love the heaviness, the tapping adds a fun contrast. The verse vocal rhythms are so unusual. They feel very disjointed and chaotic, adding to the unsettling feel. Amazing guitar solos as usual.

10/10 no notes this is awesome

🤘 killer bm sounds, particularly the riffs and that just right guitar. This reminds me that The Epic of Gilgamesh has been on my to-read list for too long.

This scratches a very crusty itch for me

The deranged needly guitar in the instrumental break is so good, especially when it harmonizes! Cuts like a dagger! Vocals and drums and guitar all so on point. Oh and those primal screams at “rupture” and “incarnate” 🤌🤌🤌

I can feel this in my belly. It squirms beautifully <3
