"Dedicated to the oldest of the sisters, the inflexible, the wielder of the abhorred shears."
lyrics
Eternally swirls the thread
Growing and weaving
Cutting and killing
Anaplasia of all energy
Genesis till cremation
That spawns through chaos
And the copulation of Nyx
When time takes shape
And reaches human grounds
The thread takes form and coils
In the worm womb of creation
Flirting with danger
Flirting with collapse
And the razors of transition
The hub pushes with all power
The continuum of life unfolds
And passes the thread
To where it must go
Process, formation, demiurge
And here you lay before the earth
Invoked to live a life till death
Never asking why
Staring at the sandglass till you die
Corruption
By the worn will
By the tainted living
By the torn souls
And the wasted minds
No gift should be abused
This thin spine of cloth needs to be cut
Latter end
By the time that ends
And the melting flesh
Deprive what is given
The peak of fear
The undesirable
Softens your subconscious
With the sharp pain of loss
And the wasted time
No longer can be used
This thin spine of cloth needs to be cut
Suddenly, she appears
And sharp is she
Like the teeth of the round serpent
Divine
She cuts the thread of life
Riveting and unexpected...
Tidal screams
In a moment
Time becomes a moment
In instant delirium
And as all chains rattle
To enslave the sun
To illuminate the spirit
They call you death
And i call you Atropos
The beginning
Between the scissors
The sharp teeth and the tail
Souls she unbind
Empress
Between the scissors
The share is always fair
Daughter of night
Ruler
They call you death
And i call you Atropos
The beginning

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

This record recalls that quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away". There's nothing left to take away here - the composition and execution is thoughtful and sure-handed, the result focused and powerful. This is black metal long removed from icy Norwegian forests; instead, it trawls shadowy inner currents, where spirits dwell. Abandon hope, but discover oneself, all ye who enter. fyeahmetal

Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world.
This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms.
