Herman Simply too good not to own. Favorite track: A Subterranean Life.

bcb723 The split with Void Roid is an absolute necessary must hear for anyone interested in recent death and doom metal. Atavisma's debut record hits a similar level of compressed agression across these eight progressively expanding tracks. Hang around long enough for the impact of the epic final track "A Subterranean Life" to sink in. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about... Favorite track: A Subterranean Life.

Chthonic 01:23
2.
Beyond any matter Unknown from men Cosmivorous words Of antediluvian worlds Those of the distant From dismal consciousness Primal Aeon Of primordial chaos By dauntless cognizance The portal is open Obtain your harvest Your cosmic absolute Through dreadful oneiric occurrences We learned what shall come Dimensional eschatology Is your doom
3.
O’ Mother of all that is On your altar This night of great wisdom I present you thy chalice of blood Filled of mortal souls Sacrifice unto Babalon Illuminate our paths O’ primordial great Female Reprove the ignorant Lead us to perpetual knowledge Under your love and protection We are your children Sacrifice unto Babalon Illuminate our paths Sacrifice unto Babalon You are the Sun and the Moon Liberate us Elevate us From Yesod, to the Ascension
4.
From days of yore Chants through the past Struggling against universalism Destroying our ancestral beliefs Crush their prophets Spread the words of atavism Hail the sun Invocation of Archaïc Deities Summon Worship Baptism of blood Ritual use of fire
5.
Monoliths 06:18
Towers rising from the soil reaching the sky Until the Sun is hidden by their immensity Remains Of a ultra-rational cult preaching perfection, submission to usefulness which satisfied the greed of those who conspired at the top of the Monoliths Once an evidence of power Now they stand still, powerless With no more artificial lights to show their strenght Once an evidence of majesty Now they stand in darkness which they created
6.
One with Life One with Death Through Purity And Debauchery Shall I reach eternity Nothing is Impure All is Saint Through ashes and bones I lay On the cremation ground Transcending all that is Through cosmic hallucinations Exhaling an opaque fog To see what is unseen From mere mortals Through asceticism I reach ataraxy And embody austerity Desire alienates For a higher self I embrace decay Swallowing spirits To begin the psychoactive ritual
7.
Under a no longer radiant sun And an opaque aether I wander without goal Amid the ruins Embraced by cold and solitude Through an ever flowing rain I'm escaping the ruins of our kind My own are no longer I am alone with my grief Neither dead neither alive Until the light takes me
8.
An eternal winter is awaiting us Freezing us to the bones Putrid air asphyxiate all beings We need to burrow Lands are desolated Our old civilizations are now fallen All that we have created is ruined Natural disasters keep coming Deeper and deeper, further down We must create new realms We're pressed for time Above, there's only death Inoculating our own plague Existence to the very depths Will maybe just repulse our curse May the Earth save us Hope of ever seeing the surface Is now gone forever Cold and stench were all annihilated Living is not and will not be We were promised to a great future Supposedly masters of Nature We can only lament her mercy What have we done ? A subterranean life That's our burden May that humans find pardon Into the ground

about

ATAVISMA unleashed their debut album from the fathomless catacombs of the Parisian underground. The Chthonic Rituals delivers a ruthless and savage onslaught of Doomed Death Metal. This highly anticipated and momentous album will drag you into the depths of the Earth and crush you slowly, leaving only ruins behind. With tracks such as "Invocation of Archaic Deities", the psychedelic and ritual "Ashen Ascetic" or the monstrous and ominous final track "A Subterranean Life", ATAVISMA has taken Death and Doom Metal unto another level of sonic violence.

ONLY RUINS REMAIN.
