Feathered serpent embrace arrest staggered breath
Weeping wound on heaving chest
Mask of four sun filth
Hide tracks of torture
Sear the weeping flesh
Smear trails of rot
On fiery toothed stone
Feel rancid breath
Break on suppurating heels
Tongue sup wine from
The flesh that it steals
It burns like Venom
Lips back from teeth
In insolent rictus
Touch the skin it marrs
Above two sillouhettes
Arms entwined like hissing snakes
Applaud the hound cremated
As blazing thirst slaked
A soulmate for the soulless
Charred, relentless cur
Thick taste of death rise
In flames from burning fur
Blacken to ash
Writhe in the glow of embers
The bed burns hot
Screams inscribed in smoke
Carved as knife cuts in bier
Life reduced to putrid carrion
Thrones at the apex of bones
Dead in pyramids piled
Cool ecstacy of immolation
Court of the skeletal king
Tiers of flame shed light
Set sickly faces to burn
Contort themselves against its glare
The two of cruel countenance
will them in darkness keep
Tearing life from life
Beware Mictlan

Barren Shores of river vile
Wretched dead haunt shadows, shattered wild
In carmine sky the carrion fly
Dormant blood, quick to their cry
And now the damned, fight through blood and bile
To hatreds edge, all fetid and befouled
Over sewer waters slides proud razor prow
A spectre with blade and spattered cowl
Hydra hound of snake black venom
Repugnant, vigilant, guard the Acheron
Fire-torrent garrote Shadow Kingdom
Nine times the noose of the poison woes
Onward to bone gates
Wall of twitching flesh
Saviors nailed to burning pier
Their eyes devoured and entrails hanged
Crown of teeming maggots, flies
Above decayed flesh the betrayed cry
Crawl through dread arches
Of bleeding, human pillars
A screaming, organic machine
Writhing, seeping, pain industry

The Amenta recommends:
Akercocke, especially this album and Goat of Mendes, were constantly playing during the creation of The Amenta's Occasus. Highly Recommended!

A dark and twisted modern classic. An absolutely killer album and a big favourite amongst members of The Amenta.

As the Kingdom Drowns
by Psycroptic
Not many bands can combine groove with technicality the way our allies in Psycroptic can. An unbelievable amount of catchy riffs. Highly Recommended!

Because it's a good album. I hear Darkthrone is kind of decent, too. I actually came here to buy the new Inquisition album...got this instead. Contrary to popular monetary trends... ...the future isn't all just SCREAMING FEMALES- though I'm excited for their next studio album release as well.

Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact.
