lyrics

Wandering the lightless catacombs of his oubliette,
Son of Minos banished forever to the dark.
Pay homage to the dread Minotaur with the blood of your blood.
Cursed abomination fed by human sacrifice.

Sins of the father, Minos, atoned by the son.
A sacrifice owed to the god of the tides
Condemned his progeny to a form unholy,
Banished to roam the cursed labyrinth.

There he dwells,
In the darkness.
On human flesh
He feeds.

Nursed as a babe by his mother, Pasiphaë,
Until he grew in size and became ferocious.
Unnatural offspring of woman and beast,
Devouring human flesh.

The oracle of Delphi spoke to Minos:
A labyrinth was to hold the abomination.
There he would live and die, in the shadows of his prison,
And be killed at last, a bitter sweet salvation.

There he dwelled,
In the darkness,
Tortured soul,
The Minotaur.

Verdom recommends:

MMXVIII
by Traiectum Inferius

A hint of thrash, a healthy dose of melodic death, a tad of power metal, and some black metal vocals for good measure. Verdom
go to album
Domstad swart metael
by Wrang

Black metal reminiscent of classics such as Taake or Horna, with a hint of thrash. Raw and unyielding while at times surprisingly refined. Verdom

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
