Solstice - Cimmerian Codex

The absolute best of the best. Without a doubt the greatest doom band to ever grace the genre. A masterpiece to say the least.

Lyrics:

Forgive me father (for I have dreamed)
Of nighted vales, betwixed time and light
Still falls the rain, silent, unclean
Unfetted, unleashed, I sought the gate
Lascivious, beckoning, at the threshholds forbode
Satyriasis vermivorous in shadow encloaked
Frozen in antiquity (mocking cruelly)
Terous in angle citadels profane
Across yawning chasm of tribulation
Farewell to Sol, in perpetuum rise
(Ascension beyond) corporeal constraint
Would the glaze of Algol sear my eyes?

Winds from the black mountain, rend and tear
Sepulchral thanes, so much walking dust
Icelocked the nexus, an empire awaits
Axiom abhorent, protean triumvirate

Forgive me father (for I walk alone)
To a destiny untained, opaque, my own.

I looked this up after hearing Richard Walker's work in Isen Torr, and I must say, although I'm mainly a USPM fan, this is pretty fucking awesome.

@oooooooooorly

Bro, I'm a USPM junkie. I dare you to throw any release at me and I bet I'll have heard of it or have it somewhere. USPM is fucking amazing, but these guys fill in my doom craving and Rich Walker loves old school metal probably more than me xD. He's an aficionado of the NWOBHM. Good shiiite

nothing here that hasnt been done before and much much better!

By who?

New Dark Age is a very original take on doom. It's quite good no matter how you look at it.

@malarky321 ,i wonder how can a Doom band get "much much beter" than this ?

[norreno]

masterpiece!

[MrPopescuTheSecond]

@celestiall Glad we could finnaly sort that out!

[celestiall]

@MrPopescuTheSecond Εxactly it's for Romanians and other people left 30 years behind the normal world...

[MrPopescuTheSecond]

@celestiall Coz we all know Tony Iommi is the worst guitarist ever and Black Sabbath is a band composed out of four handicapped people playing music for the handicapped! (sarcasm)

[TheHeadHunter824]

Brilliant band again Ill say ,I wish I knew of them years ago...

[celestiall]

@easybiker Ah very easy,stop playing doom which is metal for the handicapped!

[MrPopescuTheSecond]

Interesting sound, even if not really similar to Pagan Altar they still kinda remind me of them.

Just listened to the entire album and so far the amazing riff and my love for the writings of Rob E. Howard drove me into picking this as my favorite song by this band.

[BrecMadak]

you know what's the best doom metal album of all time ? It's "Born Too Late" Actually vocals on this band sounds weak, you gotta know this.

@CrypticMessages666 also The Gates Of Slumber! they are worth ever bit listening too

[AkisDoom]

I saw them live yesterday (11-03-2011) up the hammers VI festival (hellas-greece)

PURE PERFECTION! Awesome Live! They still got it! Epic Doom at its very best!

DOOM ON...
