Promeathea - Thy Darkest Mask Of Surreality (Intro) "The darkest clouds are forming, Remove my mask of serenity from my tortured face, We are as one desire, Beneath the infinity of the majestic sky, Arise my darkest entity, From the domain which I dwell, Our time has come, This is our kingdom, We are the essence of warm winters." A Graven Winter Through the Darkening Tranquility, the Entwining of Twin Passion in Deepest Love, of one Vision of the Immortal Graveyard. Centuries of Sleep on a Journey to my Rapture, as I gaze up through Spellbinding Branches the Deepest Snow falls thick Scorching into my Heart. The most Supreme Vision of all, for the Sharpening of Deepest Midnight in the Essence of Perpetual Winter... is my Journey complete? The Breeding of Witchcraft shall Consume the Night, to Unite as One - A Living Immortal Monument... Luciferian Death Code I hear my angel weeping silently amidst the graves A glorious yet mournful veil, yet in whose name is she slain Behind the truth the strength conceals twisted faith of Christian fools The memoirs rekindled daylights last foray Rekindled daylights last foray A delicate balancing of two worlds Embraced with the guardian death The crest of our years somewhat fainted Esteris, thy lingered opeth Where two shores lay overlapped and time lay inter bracing Many folds revealing facets, each for futures passing The enochians of timeless earth For thee, in sinful obscurity Brought forth thy pleasures and languidity I rise in amidst thy fear To collate the precious faith and penultimate tear To weave, thy starry ultimus Set in gentle precious flame, nor to awaken us Lemuria, at the edge of the graveyard A lurid pale of seeking as she haunts in despair I serve as the angel of death Slept in dusk of the gravestones, in castles despair Take grave solace in thy wisdom told For the centinal alone could only be so bold Innocence succumb to grieving majesty Light auroral incarnations of sobriety.

Artwork Info Recorded summer 95, remixed winter 95 at Academy Studios, Dewsbury, Yorkshire. Engineered by Mags, Produced and Mixed by Mags and Hecate Enthroned. All music by Hecate Enthroned. All lyrics by Jon. Art Direction by Hecate Enthroned and pod communication Review There's a few ex-Cradle of Filth bandmembers in Hecate so I've heard, but they don't sound very much like Cradle I think. Though you can hear some influences. It's just great melodic black metal, lots of cool relaxed parts varying with more even cooler fast parts. The vocals are both high black metal grunts and very low grunts, which is a very cool combination. Too bad it only lasts for half an hour, but this promises a LOT for future releases...
