I Want to Forget
I want to forget,
Your touch – The warmth of your embrace
I wish to forget,
Your eyes – That most bewitching gaze
I need to forget,
Your lips – The sweetest I have known
How I dream to forget,
The most beautiful woman in the world
The laughter… Exquisite torture
The winking… Lures me to the void
Get out of my mind,
I don’t want to know you anymore!
You’ve burned all the bridges of my senses
I want to forget,
All the time we spent together
I wish to forget,
And erase you forever
I need to forget,
I’ll light myself ablaze
How I dream to forget,
Delving into empty space

My Flesh and the Sacred River
My journey to the Holy Land has just begun
I prepare myself to die away
My spirit is ready, my flesh comes undone
I think of you and sign my name
All your tears...
Candles and a river of blood
Forgotten memories of a young man with too much heart
But still I was always trying
Disturbing God I asked, “May I come in?”
Hoping for some other way to die
It's my will, I tell Him, my desire
I wish to step away from here
Time to go into Necropolis
My frail soul rises from the grave
I know some things are real
But others you cannot explain
What does it mean? My lips are sealed
When you're gone – you’ve won! The clock ticks away
Now deep oceans and all the rivers
Are flowing through my head
Am I so phenomenal?
Tell me what's going on

Suprema
Why don't you call my name?
Our feelings are the same
I sense you feel insane
You're my one and only aim
The only one in my heart
And ‘til death do us part
My eyes should tell you the story
I beg you please, you must stay!
Leaving you... it's suicide
Just got little bit high
You said, “Go back,” and I left
I’ve gone away again
Suprema! My true love
Suprema! Sense of life
Suprema! You’re above me
Suprema! You’re alive for me
I know your hate is a lie
I'm not with you, but I try
I want to hold you, my love
My tender snow-white dove
I'm yours and you are mine
Demonic and divine
Now you've left me again
Alone with awful pain
Suprema! My true love
Suprema! Sense of life
Suprema! You’re above me
Suprema! You’re alive for me

The Light of the Black Sun
Look at me, look at me
I'm just like ashes in the wind,
And I fly away from reality,
I'm drowning in our stormy past.
Bless me, bless me
Send me to oblivion – I’m so tired.
Let my soul just die,
In the dead light of the black sun.
I know a stronger feeling than hate,
But this feeling is weaker than pain.
And in this black and white and empty world,
I'm just waiting for the tide to ebb
On the deserted shore of this decaying island,
That is washed by an ocean of long-thawed tears,
Like a disembodied ghost – an eternal wanderer,
Lost in the maze of the worlds he created.

Entombed in Grief

Entombed in Grief:
I awake in a blank space.
Nothing here but shattered dreams,
And a canvas where I've painted,
Our faces with the greyest ash.
Empty skies surrounding me,
Where clouds were once our bed.
You awake in another place,
Where you won’t remember my name.
Frozen roses adorn my grave,
With creeping thorns of hate.
Though I wish I could be saved,
I’ve already sealed my fate.
Crucify me till I'm dead,
Like another God, not mine.
As curses circle ‘round my head,
Sink your spear into my side.
Nail me to your heart!
Remember me, when I
Resurrect in you,
like
The flower of your denial.
Kill me when I emerge.
Bury me in barren earth,
Where the air hangs heavy,
Like fog over a lake of tears.

The Elephant Man
Remember, on the day he was born
The world was shocked when they saw him
The baby’s head was so deformed
So pitiful, broken and sad
Then time went by, years of no grace
The child grew, and wise he became
Son of man with an elephant face
Prepares this world for the newest reign
Won’t you tell me what happens in this place?
Help to erase these illusions and lead me through this nightmare
I stand alone at the door and I can’t see past all this darkness
Oh, wise monster please tell me, I am waiting for your answers
“I want you to know the things I can tell,” says the Elephant Man
“I have so much to show, ‘tween Heaven and Hell, is where you’ll find me”
“The place you should go, this place where I dwell, will explain everything”
“But this space is unknown, this timeless domain,” said the Elephant Man
His words were over, yet here I stand
Nothing could I comprehend
Then over the mountain, where we still were
A blinding rift appeared from nowhere
And then I asked, “What the hell is this?”
His ugly face formed a smile, I guess
I felt peaceful and went to sleep
A newly awakened being

Nomoreus:
I remember all those first nights,
When our hearts were still tender,
When we began to love each other,
When we vowed to be forever.
But our words were like liquid,
Which has drained away,
And our vows were scorched,
In a Sun of lies.
Nomoreus!
Nomoreus!
There’s nothing left of us!
I cross the ocean under black sails,
My ship propelled by sorrow’s gale.
It was dedicated to you, but
Then I chose “Nomoreus”
Nomoreus!
Nomoreus!
There’s nothing left of us!
I’ve dashed this vessel upon the rocks,
And the cold waters of loneliness,
Have filled all my compartments.
I'm sinking to the bottom…
Oh, sweet abyss, you’ve swallowed me,
Dragged me under your mighty waves.
From now on I’ll be calm – I can drift away,
After all, I'm so tired of being the captain.

The Night and the Dark Room
Every night I weep
I know you'll drift into eternal sleep
Every single night I cry
Knowing that soon you will die
The night and the dark room
Only me and the full moon
Tormented every night
“Everything will be all right”
My beloved is deathly sick
Her fate was an awful trick
But she’s so far – I have no time
“Everything will be just fine”
Every night I weep
I know you'll drift into eternal sleep
Every single night I cry
Knowing that soon you will die
And we will never be together again…
And we will never be together again…
And we will never be together again…

Dominia Saint Petersburg, Russia
Dominia was formed (as Tentamentum) in Russian city Saint-Petersburg in February 1999 by vocalist and composer Anton Rosa
and guitarist Denis Sukharev (Daniel).
Initially, the band professed typical for that time, black-death metal, but in September 2001 Tentamentum changed its' name and genre.

I think I discovered this one (well, Saor in general) in 2022. In addition to an embalming soundtrack go-to, it's definitely a cold-weather favorite.

One of my favourite albums of the last decade for sure. The 2020s really have to try to get as good as this release is.

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.

Raven And The Nightsky
by Dark The Suns
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace.

This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again.
