Ancient The forest is dying In the heat of the sun The countryside is burning Dying birds on dying trees They sing their last song. The sky turns dark, the sun Falls apart. Full moon shines. The sky opens up From the next world arrives Vata. Icecold fire burning in his eyes Awekening, from the other world Into this real one. Wolves licking my body, frozen in ice Desire grows the desire of.... It brings eternal winter Onto the sizzling countryside. The mourning is still painful My soul frozen in ice. ADRAMARAH calls me again I stepped into his dream Piercing coldness embraces me. I feel the power of the next world I feel the power of the Lord of emptyness. Now I think back A strange feeling, as I lie buried In the frozen ground, I feel the coldness Of hte sweeping winter storm The Pagan Winter Awesome power Emptiness Loneliness Spiritual journey On the edge of the horizon. The moon projects dream images. Frozen mourning calls On the eve of the pagan winter On a November night Dreamworld, in the frozen Reflection of the sea. Internal powers draw me in Inside my own self. Paralysed voices In a virtual reality. Frozen mourning calls On the eve of the pagan winter ....Where the Darkness Always Reigned The pentagram is frozen, in your dark dreams There are butchered christisn priests Falling in the common grave Blood of christ paints my face. Disgraced godly thoughts, Thousand believer's souls A burning church brings me jyoy, Many believers affection burns in there. My dark spirit purified after an unholy blasphemy. Frozen pentagram shines on the night of the massacre. Twilight My body is plit open At dawning of pain. Come, step inside and dream on. Beautiful suffering it is On the other side of an other dimension. "With dead bodies we hug each other I touch you with my ice cold fingers." Do you feel it? "We dance together, on the horizon Of eternal sadness," Winter veil covers us. "Wake up, on the day of your funeral Praise the Lord" For this beautiful night.

It's a rerelease of their demotape on cd together with one new song 'In the Shadow of Another World'. Well, first the demo: Most irritating is the singing. Back then the drummer was still the singer, so that explaint the difference. The grunt isn't really a grunt but a scream. But when you get used to this (which took me a while) you'll notice the music is really good. Especially for a demotape. But when you compare it to the new song... 'In the Shadow of Another World' is a brilliant song. A masterpiece. I even think it's the best black metal song I ever heard. It's fast, melodic, has trumpets & keyboards, it's just fantastic. I can listen to this one song an entire day and it still doesn't bore me. But you'll have to hear it yourself... Rating: 8 out of 10
