Citoyen Jensen Chelsea Wolfe broke my heart when I first moved to the right speaker at the gig at Roskilde and could hear her on the rear gear and then I was there in the tomb for the Wolfe forever. Great band too!

arya Dense, orchestral, elegantly extreme First Chapter.
A monumental work shaped by powerful, mithridatizing contrasts and the Moon’s voice herself.
A meteor not to be missed live.

Scorpion’s Sting is a desperated drunk hymn of love and trust, opened by a masterful low voice incipit.

I’m already yearning for the next. Favorite track: Scorpion's Sting.

blood moon ascends in night as the cosmic eye free of the chains that define our lives it cuts through flesh and bone into the glow of souls gazing far and wide devoid of hope you cut me open but i won’t let you find what’s under the surface entombed in my mind beneath the surface it’s grim to see oh it echoes then disappears unblinking eye in the shadows abets the world its weary lies enthroned beside the dimming light speak what’s left unspoken the time is near blood moon ascends in the night cosmic unblinking eye gazing through flesh and bone into the glow of our souls blood moon ascends in the night cosmic unblinking eye gazing through flesh and bone into the glow of our souls the mind was a hall that towered high and on the throne was the child inside and on my side, enthroned beside the shadows divine held all the world and the glimmering life in mind was a time when all was right mind was in mind blood moon ascends in the night cosmic unblinking eye gazing through flesh and bone into the glow of our souls blood moon ascends in the night cosmic unblinking eye gazing through flesh and bone into the glow of our souls cut me open it’s grim to see beneath the surface, etched in fear the day has spoken how dare you speak her name to consecrate the broken carry weary worlds the day has broken a stain, a crime you, serpent deicide the day has broken a stain, a crime you, serpent deicide

invidious judgements move towards an end scatter and splatter, the viscera of men this circle of fire is life on a wire a culling of hatred, again and again bleed until the silence cast them to the void to flee the fight is violence their misery is joy free, to flee in surrender inside, inside you were inclined bleed until the silence cast them to the void to flee the fight is violence their misery is joy inside you, never felt enough pain but you were inclined to wonder inside you a war was building, in time bleed until the silence cast them to the void to flee the fight is violence their misery is joy bleed until the silence cast them to the void to flee the fight is violence their misery is joy bleed until there is silence bleed until there is silence

Coil 06:08
venomously winding and weaving blood and ivory obscure belief a hidden hunger writhing and seething basking in the warmth of love unseen it’s like a serpent coiled inside it’s like the sun shone on serpent’s lies and it’s like this life this life it’s like a serpent coiled inside me sign of the sacred song slithering sweetly odd with intention this coil furls on and on slither with odd intentions this coil furls on and on the sacred song venomously winding and weaving blood and ivory obscure belief a hidden hunger writhing and seething basking in the warmth of love unseen it’s like a serpent coiled inside it’s like the sun shone on serpent’s lies and it’s like this life, this life it’s like a serpent coiled inside me sign of the sacred song slithering sweetly odd with intention this coil furls on and on sign of the sacred song this coil furls on and on sign of the sacred song this coil furls on and on basking in the warmth of love unseen this coil furls on and on

pounds of flesh and pints of blood just won't ever be enough to break our stare into the sun and show us all how to love between you and me shines a light of disbelief tears of fear and seeds of doubt we cannot reach beyond to touch the face of fallen ones discerning needs from their wants between you and me shines a light of disbelief constant reminders our failures last forever as years fall, the fear takes root growing... constant reminders our failures last forever as years fall the fear takes root... forever pounds of flesh and pints of blood just won't ever be enough to break our stare into the sun and show us all how to love between you and me shines a light of disbelief tears of fear and seeds of doubt we cannot reach beyond to touch the face of fallen ones discerning needs from their wants between you and me shines a light of disbelief constant reminders our failures last forever as years fall, the fear takes root... growing... constant reminders our failures last forever as years fall the fear takes root... forever failure forever failure forever
