lyrics

An arduous path awaits
Through narrowest of roads
The quest to find the wisest
Uttered by the mouth of Apollo
I will soon receive daemonic inspiration
Kissed by the lips of the Sibyl

I continue my journey:
What does fate have in store for me?
eroto entos arete
“xero oti den xero tipota”
I seek Apollo
I seek the rites of Dionysos
Inspiration, Action from Apollo
Infernal Wisdom of Dionysos

I, exiled from Athens
Endured the return of the sophist
Which set me on my path
To find the wisest of men

I have been through woods
Over mountains, hills and bogs
Still I press on
Multitudes will be there to seek
The Ambiguous One

In the distance
From the hills of Mount Parnassus
I see the pneuma rise
This is the way to Delphi
A test of will and of strength
Only the wisest of questions
Will remain

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

Suffocating black metal in the Swedish style that mercifully throws in a bit of melody to save the listener from total darkness. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 29, 2017
