The Eternal Throne

undeadgoathead This album is like a force of nature, or even a natural disaster. A waterfall looks majestic when you’re safe on the ground, but not so much when you’re about to make the drop yourself. The ocean is romantic when you experience it from a beach, but it is terrifying when you are stranded in the middle of its dark waters. So it is with metal music. The melodies are beautiful, but they are countered by raw aggression. How can something be so heavy and heartless, yet so aesthetic? Favorite track: Aether and Chaos.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Filled with swampy grooves and a sound that remains true to the original death metal rulebook, The Eternal Throne is a step in the right direction for Dysphotic. Riffs are reminiscent of later Morbid Angel, often inducing reflexive head-bobbing action. Great drumming, improved vocals, and dark aesthetic all add up to a solid album.

Shadow cascading From the sky Aberrate Into the depths Of night The lambent decay Cimmerian certitude Stakes its final claim The final decline As existence recedes Away from the light Mankind fated To stray Martyrs blinded by... The fictions of faith Mindless Sightless The heedless Disciples of demise The end Is in sight Aeon Of decline Mankind Fated To stray Martyrs blinded by The fictions of faith Mindless Sightless The heedless Disciples of Demise
2.
Submerge Descend Sinking Endless Cast down To the abyss Black tides Consume ceaseless Decomposing light Beneath the surface The churning of hell An earthly inferno Scalding beneath The sea of flames Condemned to the torment of darkness Where nightmares of man take shape Horror of the unknown Aphotic dimension The endless void The untold Below Within the waves the shadows emerge Currents of chaos consume as they surge Decomposing light Beneath the surface The churning of hell
3.
Amorphous horror Sentient beast of the abyss Idle within The blackness of time Visions of hell Through the pulsing eyes of the void Within the temple Abandoned by time The spectral lord Forever resides Assemblage of the utmost profane Prepare the...sacrament of decay Deity of the defiled Saint of the unknown Called upon to bear witness Through the pulsing eyes of the void Infernal Visions The domain Of chaos
4.
Unbearable madness supreme Consuming all lucidity Possessed by the will to feed The cessation of vitality The feverish craze Of dementia lays waste As insanity breathes We abandon reality Surrender Give in to the deranged
5.
Mindless god Of infinite horror Rest eternal Upon thy blackened throne The axis of cosmic chaos Blind creator Ruler of space and time Exalted by hordes of the amorphous Worshipping endless Rites of obscenity Forcing Flesh Into flame Daemon Sultan Architect Of primal fear Within spiral black vortices Of an infinite void Suspended Eternal In timeless sleep
6.
Offspring of time Father of darkness Creator of night Conceived in the nexus Of the cosmic womb Father of darkness Creator of infinite blight Erupting atomic fury Gave forth To the advent of time The obsession that drives The mortal desire To understand Will reveal the falsity Of the dominion of man The lurid domain Genesis of totality arcane Primordial powers forging The dawn of the sky Aether and chaos From which eternity breathes life
7.
Existence beyond Temporal realms Where aeons dissolve Unknowing of time Oblivion screams For the slumber of life The cloak of shadow forever obscures The dominion of light Behold The reign Of the eclipse Will endure Without end Freed from the confines of time Endure eternal Dissolve into the void In darkness..the flesh concedes Into obscurity The reign Of the eclipse Will prevail without end Freed from the confines of time Dissolve into the void
8.
Anathema 03:12
Thrown out Life is left to waste In filth you will remain To fate forever chained Pariah Harbinger of plague Cast out Purging the impure Within The filth always endures Blaspheme A curse upon your name Condemned The soul shall not be saved Heresy A sentencing To the leper colony Abominate Entity Guilty of impiety Inhuman Contagion Anathema
9.
Break free from the gods Who wish to enslave Shredding the veil Augur the idol’s decay Denounce the curse A darkness of ages Takes hold of the earth Hostage of belief Banish the deceit Fallacy exposed A cruel maze of control Break free from the chains
10.
Empyrean divination Dictations of the sky The forgery of omens Conveys the imperious will The cruel edict From which supremacy spawns The cruel edict From which mankind dissolves Enslaved eternal To the directive of the divine On blazing wings The mirror to the cosmos resides The origin of control Lies within distortions of the truth Static veracity The bane of prophecy
11.
Abductor 04:22
The accursed calling Veiled by the shade of night To stray beyond All mortal confines Soul detained Seized From life's constraints The carnal desire To answer the shadow's call To stray beyond Bounds of the mortal soul Soul detained Seized From life's constraints Temporal eternity A consummate duress Captive To an imperative fate Prisoner Of the arcane
