In time immemorial
A poor soul is seized for violent worship
Victim of obscenity
Unjustly immolated for a mad god
Bones left to smolder in the swamp
Deprived of peace for years untold
Long lost from human gaze
Lies an uneasy facade
Shrouding under the surface
Its sordid history
Inhumed far beyond the loam
Charred remains ravaged by time
Squalid burial borne of contempt
As sunlight glints through unfurled branches
A stray beam illuminates the forgotten mound
Innervated by the iridescent glow
Ancient anguish stirs
Remnants once forsaken
Reanimated in enigmatic ritual
Forged in the fire of unrequited fury
It is reborn
Murky recollections of a wretched past
Beget its ponderous ascent
Outstretched limbs mangle the soil
Piercing claws compelled by the pining light
Once torpid, but regaining form
Grisly gaze set to the solemn sunless sky
Baleful reprisal rising anew
Ravenous to enact its wrath on the world
Which abandoned it

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
