for the mouth of the heretic be blessed
his silken tongue doth line their ears with gold
i am the prophesied antithesis of silence
i breathe the raging winds of old
awaken ye spellbound children of the occident
beware the one who seeketh to sculpture your will
beveiled of face and of reptilian intent
a herdsman is he to all man’s earthly ills
and lo, fear doth flee as the air
hums with the songs of the dead
tremors sweep the heartland
as lips do remember their names
serpents of the sickled star
silent and virulent
servants of the crucifix
restless pacifists
axioms of abraham
spiritual ransom
may the gnashing of teeth for his treachery be heard!
may the somniferous in devout ignorance be stirred!
unmask the rats
the swindler lives
with book in hand
of sword he speaks
thou art my foeman
soon shall the spell be broken
thou art death’s oathman
a shepherd in wolven skin
cheap is his blood and cryptic his name
reigning one-eyed king of the blind
he be a tyrant and he be a saint
cold captor of innocence
harken the return of ancient rites
a synergy of earth and mind ablaze
fates scream with urgency in the night
a storm of steel to grace the break of day

This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo

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

Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert
