lyrics

Like blazing comets in the sky
that shake the stars of light
which drop like fruit unto the earth
through the fierce burning night

a virtual traveller
10 000 feet above
spies a land he will never reach
or understand

removed from his dreadful deeds
he operates thousands of miles away
and does not fell the burning fires

Predators and Reapers
in the night sky
vultures, infra-red targets
with hellfire beneath the wings
the God of war is drunk with blood

lock on radar and communications
joint direct attack munitions
screaming missiles raining down
remote automated slaughter

like blazing comets
scattering death
aerial assassinations and murder
earth smokes with blood
groans, and shakes
and drinks its childrens’ gore

What have the heads of State to answer for?

Beneath the machines
they die like sheep
groaning upon high mountains
desert plains

but for the killers
there are no sounds of battle
as bloodied children die
among the ruins they have lain

What have the heads of State to answer for?
Removed, within their homes of comfort
when a thousand deaths
for vengeance, cry

like blazing comets in the sky
that shake the stars of light
which drop like fruit to the earth
through the fierce burning light

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 70 fans who also own “Predator Drone MQ-1”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 61 fans who also own “Predator Drone MQ-1”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.
