Inspired by a picture taken by a friend. The goal was to make an atmospheric black metal album cover based on the photo. What resulted from a quick and dirty photoshop is the single released here. Seems like everything is Tolkien inspired in one way or another.
Here's to 2022, hopefully it's less crap than last year.
lyrics
Approach the lake
The lake of denial
Feel the presence below
Eroding at your sanity
Breath in the essence
The stench of decay
Let the sensation overtake you
Forget who you were.
The stagnant waters become
your breath, your food , your purpose
Give up your mortal life
Surrender all morality.
A thousand men before you
Came to these shores
Seeking forgiveness within the lake
A thousand graves unmarked
Forgotten, unforgiven
Soon you'll join our ranks
Take the plunge, become one with our knowledge
For we all have a story to tell in these dead waters.

The band's debut is full of whiskey-burned growls and maniacal high shrieks, not surprising for a group of Detroit metal vets. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 22, 2016
