Fauna to Fiend

queenmona Blackened doom metal that's rough around all the right edges. Dismal Reverie has to be the most accurate band name ever, so if you need to trickle a dreary air of gloom and despair over a cold black night, put some of this on. Favorite track: Vile Energy.

negirvin Banger set of traditional doom crossed with eerie black metal production and vocal aesthetics. You can catch traces of punk attitude here, and none of it overstays its welcome. Highly recommend! Favorite track: When the Fog Returns.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Raw and rugged fusion of old school black and heavy metal energy from my own backyard of Portland, OR. Sounds like it came straight out of the late 80's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZK3F1vDMoo

Transference 01:06
Pain is the fire Fate is the anvil Rage is molten I’m the empty vessel The forge of darkness Builds me as a weapon Will of iron Ever sharpened Transference Through dark currents Of tainted empathy Transference Through dark currents Liquid entropy

Vile Energy 04:12
Forced and bound to this flat dimension The realm of loathing Meteor force of mad derision Synaptic eruption Fate needed Vile Energy And so it was cast upon me Chosen for the path of bleak irreverence Waxing power over waning present Fate needs dark savagery So drink the venom with me Bask in the rays of fell Luna In the age of vain hysteria Weeping as we’re overcome All sense defiled A sinister joy to some This deadly trial Fate needed Fell Energy And so it was cast upon thee Feel it down in your blackened heart Let wits depart Fate needs true synergy To reach serenity Lost in the light of fell Luna In the age of vain hysteria Fate needed Untreated Unleaded Fell Energy Fate needed Call heeded Soul feeding New Heresy Fate needed Untreated Unleaded Fell Energy Fate needed Call heeded Soul feeding New Heresy Born of seething Malice A weapon to restore the balance Forged in the light of Fell Luna In the age of vain hysteria

Beast in the grove of verdant lies Fleeing from predatory stranglevine Tangled in the brambles of the spirit bed Place where carnivorous thoughts are fed Traverse the stream of life that dried Dance the hated pantomime Fertilized by suffering Endless dismal reverie In the garden of doubt Hope, we must do without Destined to be Carrion feed In the garden of doubt There grow twisted boughs Shallow we breathe Fauna to fiend Pull the weeds that drain the life Eating faith and drinking light Nothing green is growing here Foetid pond, reflecting mirror

Where is world I know? The gloom has gone for too long Cracking skin in deathly throes Will the fog return? Flesh hangs like parchment Longing writ upon the scroll Tormentors shall know bereavement When the fog returns When the fog returns Spirit of murder comes alive When the fog returns Cursed enemies will die When the fog returns My power shall revive It will come back to me Before my wretched corpse can fry Absence of my only friend Viridian clouds of frothing pain On you I depend My place is within Hanging from a gnarled tree They must believe I’m dead Always burn the life you end I will return When the fog returns Burning in your eyes When the fog returns Breathe, internalize When the fog returns In the pallid light I thrive When the fog returns When the fog returns When the fog returns I will return

He is the darkness in her heart come to life Bitter frost before the spring, decaying of all things She is the fire in his soul burning bright Relentless, a beacon in the twilight Gale in burning eyes Forbidden union, black communion Queen of sun and seer of night Deny the stars She wields the sword of flame He bears the cloak of shade She’s the one who’s wreathed in smoke He’s the cold of the grave below The path of the eclipse An anticosmic gift Totality of purpose Shines beyond the surface Gale in burning eyes Forbidden union, black communion Queen of sun and seer of night Deny the stars

Shredded, mauled, and broken Savaged by terror unspoken Lying still in the dirt Ground more comfort than words Back for the kill The Ravening Shadow It's coming back for the kill The Ravening Shadow Staring up at the sun Burn my eyes 'til the deed is done I feel the stones in my spine Thorns kissing me goodbye Back for the kill The Ravening Shadow It's coming back for the kill The Ravening Shadow I face the teeth My enemy The fury of the feasting Is the price of the meaning And now the teeth Close around me One moment at the summit Into crushing jaws I plummet

Voidwalker 04:18
Rust inside the machine Oil spilling in the sea Incarnate apathy The gap between realities Hear the call of the void Tempting, so seductively Surely nothing left to be Of recourse, you’re devoid Just take my hand, heed the command There is no pain in the shrouded span Festering unquiet The shrieking in the silence Deny the burden Pestilence averted Hear the call of the void Twisted fingers reaching out Life, your soul could do without Of recourse, you’re devoid Just take my hand, heed the command There is no pain in the shrouded span Creeping eternal dream Some visions can’t be unseen Grave sands are flowing swiftly A burdened glass; the vial’s filling Voidwalker Voidwalker Voidwalker Return to nothing

It’s hard to find a way To reclaim the essence Intent and synthesis So far I’ve failed at this Easy to drift away Without an essence Time slips by and so do I This state I will defy It’s hard to pierce the gloam That hides the essence Drifting tendrils slitherbound Consuming sight and sound Easy to lose your will Among the effort Now it’s time I see Phantoms thrown from me Come back to a conscious state In the firmament you cannot stay It’s the dawn of the first day Foul dreams can’t ameliorate Come back, is your fate so bleak? Come back if you’re really free Come back to a conscious state Before it’s too late Come back to a conscious state In the firmament you cannot stay It’s the dawn of the first day Foul dreams can’t ameliorate Come back, is your fate so bleak? Come back if you’re really free Come back to a conscious state Before it’s too late Not hard to see the worth Of running from the essence Lost in the cynical noise And everything it destroys Never far from the gate Or the edge of a blade The empiric realm awaits Capture the essence

It was never my vision To be locked in the sorcerer’s prison I know beyond your lies And wish that I did not You have never seen the world Never looked beneath the skin In this fane I am interred Truth is madness seeping in When you bite the apple And drink its poison wine Sleep has gone forever No dreams shall grace my mind Only one path now I must go deeper down To cold dungeons deep Into my heart the mildew creeps It was never my vision To be locked in the sorcerer’s prison I know beyond your lies And wish that I did not
