halfmartian Goddamn, this one was a surprise. I had a quick listen and snapped it up straight away. This has everything: Frostbitten 2nd wave grimness, pulverising savagery, loads of melody, riffs and hooks for days, wicked synth sounds that sit just under everything and never hinder or harm proceedings. Immortal looms large on a few tracks, especially Fall of The King, but choosing a standout is just really hard. Another outstanding one-man-black metal release. Don't sleep on this one, get it! Favorite track: Fall of the King.

1.
In the night, it calls to me Nocturnal visions of The Osseous Key A towering kingdom in a distant land From the star, I receive my command A long-lost relic of an ancient horde To unlock secrets of a bygone world We must journey to the mountains high To where the ancient treasure lies Kill the king, usurp the throne Take for my own, the mythic key of bone For what my master seeks, ill travel far In the service of the Demon Star
2.
Radiant repugnance A dazzling decay Alluring abhorrence A fetid bouquet Wafting up from the dungeon Where the corpses are laid Prepped for the butcher Exquisitely aged With evil elation And blasphemous bliss I sharpen my cleaver And carve into flesh Each cut unique In flavor and feel Yet only the finest Will do for this meal A gala of gore A festering feast We indulge like kings Before we ride east To the foot of the mountains Where the kingdom doth lie I empty my chalice And gaze to the sky
3.
The coarse rope around my neck Strung high above my head With a fateful final step I would join dead I made the morbid leap of faith But something broke my fall Afloat above the cold stone floor I heard the masters call In a blink, I found myself Deep within the trees The light of a single star Shone down upon me An ancient place of ritual Which death can’t permeate In this sacred place I chose my eternal fate Recruited by an astral power For my proficiency in sin Granted immortality To terrorize this land Now I stand before you You, my faithful horde Blessed army of the damned Slaves to my every word For our master speaks through me Each vile task conveys his will So, summon all your energy Go forth and kill
4.
Ride out as dusk draws near Into the fading light Darkness so beautiful Our torches burning bright Follow the Demon Star It guides us in our quest Destroy all in our path A trial of blood, fire, and death Between the frozen trees We push on through the night Atop our spectral steeds Mountains loom in our sight Tireless procession Blood brew ravaging our minds Beyond obsession Lust for power unrefined
5.
Over jagged peaks of stone The lonesome raven flies A warning sign of things to come An omen in the skies Jet black with eyes of frigid white I crave its mournful song To summon us, with violent lust To usher souls to the beyond Silence broken The raven calls We march in silence We storm the walls Before the sun Doth rise again A king will fall Among his men
6.
Torture Suffering Mutilate Without remorse Disembowel Disfigurement Eradicate Without recourse A palatial funeral pyre The screams are deafening The time has come now The time of reckoning I sense its presence It calls to me Drawing nearer The mythic key Savage slaughter Limbs are scattered flippantly The sounds of death A beautiful cacophony The cowering king Sat high upon his ornate throne My prize dangles from his neck A lurid key of bone I ascend slowly Inflicting dread with every step In a heartbeat I tear his heart out from his chest His eyes widen Then gloss over as the lights leave I stand triumphant In my hand I hold the key
7.
Vile beyond perception Grievously obscene Of divine conception To wield in blasphemy I feel the power surge through me Coursing through my veins The mythic Osseous Key Commencement of my reign Grotesque beyond description Abhorrent elegance Witness my ascension Fear my malevolence Master hear my words I have fulfilled your wish Here within my hands Your virulent gift Eternal glory The gods at my command Undying tyrant Ruler of this land
8.
