lyrics

A line of blood drawn across the horizon is a blaze that flickers through the wood. We shoulder our tools and we scrape the meager soil. These furrows are plowed in our hearts and in our hands. The dust will descend on our parched and broken fields; so many mouths soon to go unfed. I lie awake and desperate in the small hours. This burden lays its weight upon my chest. I bend and break, I wrack my limbs, I scratch my seed in barren earth, I lower the bucket into the well and raise it empty again and again. Rumbling vastness, a pillar of holy judgement. Hand of the almighty cast us low. A blanket of dust to smother and devour us, sent from the silence into which we cast our prayers. Low—cold—sun descending. Vast, empty, bleeding sky. Sigh, whisper in supplication, ears
ringing with the gnawing of the hunger. Cough, shaking, spent and useless. Faithless, fallen, I turn my back. Three holes, three pine boxes, three wooden crosses: one for our sons, one for our daughters, one for our hopes buried in the dust.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 40 fans who also own “Bleak Harvest”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 36 fans who also own “Bleak Harvest”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 36 fans who also own “Bleak Harvest”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.
