Sky Burial 03:53
Pallbearers perched amongst the mossy crags conjured by percussive proclamations. An offering of flayed remains eclipsed in an umbra of feral winged specters. The beat of the ritual drums evoke a frenzied conflagration - churning obsidian plumes of the carrion angels. Pungent incense permeates the soul and beckons the peregrine spirits to break the body of its corporeal essence and break the bond of the spirit, ego and flesh. Crack the ivory bones Dissect the adorned corpse Their eyes scorched by the sun They reach out towards the sky They yearn for the sky They reach out towards the sky Partake in a visceral communion and the acrid stench of corrosive bile; fermented aromas of putrefied viscera. Keratin knives kiss the flesh; a gruesome torrent of rancid blood, the vessel destroyed, discharge of the soul. Abscond to the empyrean realm! Carrion angel stretch toward the sky! Pray unto the void amidst the heralding thunder Flesh unto flesh to return in a rain of excrement….

Carrion Angel - carrier of souls and rotten flesh, drink from the springs of sanguine waters tainted by man's iniquities. Mighty daggers of light pierce the sea of clouds and thunderous trumpets crack the heavens. Azrael - Eat of the body, take what you will, it serves no purpose in death Black cloaked wraiths - carrion angels: an avian ichor cult with dissonant screeching psalms, jubilant screams - banshee-like, a dissonant cacophony of carnal delight. Impurities of nature, transcendence lost Existential corruption unable to release. Through ravenous destruction one may transcend Liberation from flesh, the abyss - sublime! Carrion Angel - carrier of souls, bringer of transcendence... Liberation! Invoke the wraiths of obsidian flames to rain down from the divine firmament and cleave what once was into scores of fragments to be fed into the maw of the endless cycle leaving behind only memories and rancid viscera.

A seething knot of caustic serpents Licking flesh with searing tongues Carbon daggers molest the eyes and slash the throat with a thousand cuts Muscle riven - Ripped from bone festering blisters lacerate Blackened tongue, swollen lips Blood boils and coagulates A maelstrom of fiery teeth Masticates upon the fat Gnaw through a burning soul As screams abscond through clenched teeth Swallowing ash In every breath Contort and writhe as the fire eats The remnants spat into the winds The accusers Inhale the flesh Gnashing of teeth, ground down until they crack Flesh unto ashes, ablution through flame Inhaling their transgressions - ashes unto flesh Curling blackened skin cast skyward like a flowering plume of ashen moths. And as the smoke blocks out the sun the serpents of perdition coil. Swallowing ash in every breath Contort and writhe inhaling the flesh
5.
The torrent of locusts, which issue forth like smoke from their mouths, ravage the fields and flesh and plague with fetid discharge. Swathed in deafening thrumming wings - a pulsating casket of pestilence Laid to rest in a shroud - a shroud of locusts! The Sunlight is stained through their gritty crystalline wings! An infectious miasma - inhaling plumes of fecal dust. Famished and deprived of nourishment she is prostrated by emaciation, succumbing to ravenous neurosis the withered feral mother devours her young. And so it begins swathed in deafening thrumming wings, defiled by a shroud of writhing locusts - the seeds of the metamorphosis.

about

Carrion Angel is the first of a two part EP, of which the second half will release late 2024.

Carrion Angel is a refinement of the sound of the first two demos, featuring a cacophonous mix of black and death metal with passages of wailing dissonance and moments of murky atmosphere, embodying the same chaos and anxiety as the mind it originates from.

"Raw and wild, it will take you to the edge of the blackened abyss as the frayed edges of sanity begin to unravel in dramatic fashion." - Metal Noise

"The intricacy of the music is head-spinning and goes off in so many unpredictable and unsettling directions that it may leave your mouth hanging open." - No Clean Singing
