The Initiation of Darkness
Summon the dark folk for the initiation of
Darkness
...is our path
...is our hope
...is our love
Summon the dark folk for the initiation of...
„It is easy to blame the dark: the mouth of a door,
The cellar's belly. They've blown my sparkler out.
A black-sharded lady keeps me in parrot cage.
What large eyes the dead have!
I am intimate with a hairy spirit.
Smoke wheels from the beak of this empty jar.
...darkness
The dead bells of burning fire ring their lullaby so...
We are the witches that spit on your false gods
We are the witches that burn on your wooden stakes
Embrace the darkness without any sentiment of guilt
Always remember it's more than the absence of light
Cobalt surroundings seem melted into black moss
Shapeshifting sphincters celebrate what is strange and weird
Snowbirds hunt silently the allmighty deathcatcher
my colder self creates a halo of shivering blue and black
Not all who wander are lost for eternity
We all who wander are lost for eternity
“The problem, unstated until now, is how to live in a damaged body in a world where pain is meant to be gagged uncured ungrieved over. The problem is to connect, without hysteria, the pain of anyone's body with the pain of the world's body.”
― Adrienne Rich

Ripping Halos from Angels
I would rather be a rising ape
Than pretending to
Be a falling angel
You never were an angel
I would rather be a dead fool
In your eyes a dead fool
A simulation of a lie
Take your false halo and die
When angels go bad they seem to be worse than anyone else
Pretending a devil appeared to collect their souls
My child, there is no devil with any interest in any souls
The so called angels are just too craven to face their darkness
Everything around me seems to be cold,
Dead and crushed into pieces
Those who sing about monsters are candid and
You angeltongued freaks are a mess
So I take my claws, aim high and
I swing with pleasure above your heads
Ripping halos from your rotten angelskulls
Your rotten angelskulls
Let your halo shine brighter than the stars
So your filthy dead soul cannot be seen
"The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame."
Oscar Wilde

Frostcoven
No god can help you here
No sun will ever shine
We are usurpers of the night
Dark witches of the frost
On bearbacks there we ride
The ghosts who haunt us scream in pain
Tell us
Creature
Tell us
What do thy want
Tell us
Creature
Tell us
What do thy need
Angst essen Seele auf
Da wir es ihr befohlen
Tell us
Creature
Tell us
What do thy want
Tell us
Creature
Tell us
What do thy need
Frost corrosion
No emotion
Enemies of our enemies
Try to destroy us
But we have the spells to break them down
This is the coven
Let dark frost shine
"Man muss zumindest versuchen zu beschreiben, was man nicht verändern kann."
Rainer Werner Fassbinder

The Craft and the Power of Black Magic Wielding
I am the moon
I am the stars
I am your eyes
I am your scars
I am the unholy daughter of Lucifer
I am a book I am the earth
I am here to give you fire
I am hope I am desire
I mix it with some esotheric bullshit
I know you people like to be fooled
I kiss the day away
I make your lungs bleed if you are my enemy
My enemy
Will you trust me, will you need me, will you love me, will you burn me
Will you kill me
See, thus it is done!
Make ten of one,
And two let be,
Make even three,
And rich thou ‘It be.
Cast o’er the four!
From five and six
(The witch’s tricks)
Make seven and eight,
’Tis finished straight!
And nine is one,
And you are gone.
"Man muß seinen Feinden verzeihen, aber nicht früher, als bis sie gehenkt worden."
Heinrich Heine

Into Dark Science
Beware! for we are fearless, and therefore powerful.
We are alone and miserable.
There is love in us the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in us the likes of which should never escape. If we are not satisfied in the one, we will indulge the other.
If we cannot inspire love, we will cause fear. langsam
You are our creator, but we are your masters; Obey!
We are malicious
Because we are miserable.
We are doomed to live.
Dark science made us be.
“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.”
― Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Godspeed! Voyager
I read about a voyager who did not travel at all.
Into a darkness that was brighter than a star.
And the voyager was me and you were the voyager.
You hummed a song that I could not identify.
The blackest crow lead us the way. And in the end we knew it all.
Godspeed! Voyager
The blackest crow lead us the way. And in the end we knew it all.
The blackest crow was deaf and blind. The blackest crow was not on our side.
I am falling
Through a well
Then I drown.
But I hoped
To break my spine
Because you sang
It's a less painful
Way to die.
“Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.”
― Neil Gaiman

supported by 5 fans who also own “INTO DARK SCIENCE”
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder

All That Has Never Been True
by ULTHA
supported by 5 fans who also own “INTO DARK SCIENCE”
One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy.
