lyrics

My Son

Trade fiction for ripping blindfolds from eyes
Grab diction, and squeeze out all the lies
Trade fiction for facts about the end of it all
Grab tradition to never fully realise

My son
This who I am
My son
This is who we will be
My son,

Prostate on the kitchen floor
Scalpel at the ready
Cut the lines that lead throughout
The lives of sons
That found their fathers
Caught in stances no body was prepared
To take, necks protruding from kitchens and ropes,
arms with hardly a twitch left
cannot hold progeny nor promise.

My son.
This is who I am

Fleeting words, empty gestures
Communication reduced to the barest of bones
Knot these mandibles above your head
To hold high the hollow altar's stones

My son.
This is who I am.
My son.
This is who you will be.
My son.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 8 fans who also own “My Son”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Gegrepen Door de Geest der Zielsontluiking
by FLUISTERAARS

supported by 7 fans who also own “My Son”

thanks Fluisteraars! I just love your music. A very good atmosphérique black metal band with experimental/ ambient passage. This album is literally one of my classics in my black metal journey. The first time I heard this record, I feel scared and no other album make me feel that. Just, I feel like it's probably my favourite black metal album of all time. Continue in that way ! quentin_milcent

UNYIELDING / UNSEEING
by Silver Knife

supported by 6 fans who also own “My Son”

Mean, stylistic millennial post black/hc with a lot of anguish and compressed emotions inside. Virtuoso playing and desolate cold dry sonic aesthetics that'll slice your brains and leaves you stunned on the floor with bloodied ears. And such a banger artwork! 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡

Guitars sound like flaming lava, riffs melting into one another while moving slowly across everything and destroying everything - the plaintive and bruised cries for help over it all add a weight that sinks you beneath the earth. The sound is as clear as the soul is dark. Jono Schneider
