Yonder 09:53
Within a glance of frozen wait Eyes wide open, fear's engraved Dreaming to mend, mind won't pretend Tenaciously keeping heart in hands Sudden recall by an inner side Burns like a beacon above the sea Chasing a dragon biting wind The more I soar the more I sink Past, shades of grey, Taming death til you breath Far, far away Lies the shadow of your faith Drifter, thousands miles away Shifter, the shape of my self Against the tearing waves Yonder Yonder Yonder Yonder Rise high, monolith stone Rise against the storm Watch over me Echoes of us beneath the house I lived In fear, in fear The flooded heart The scourging thougths The beating chest Take me yonder Take us yonder

Opal 12:25
Feels like throwing an opaline dice I thought i could have never Slip down to this hole Left in denial Burst lies Through the darkest smile Black grin Found me It's over Blinding light Ruling over the last remnants Unappealing reasons to give birth Fighting hordes of crazy creatures For a freedom which only leads to more lies Sick of human mythomania Keep on hold the fire in your eyes If you fall you can't deny Maybe someone's god will slow down your fall Or maybe for his sight to see you are just too far Bow down the lord Lured by his stern eyes Respect the emperor In the folds of time a long ago If your heart could have been rational Worship mysery Worship insanity To cross the limit Of mysery Worship the limit Cry dry wither Keep on hold the fire in your eyes If you can't see you can't deny Maybe someone's god will slow down your fall Or maybe for his sight to see you are just too far I leave my spot, I leave my hiding, Guess it comes like tidal waves Of nightmares raging Through my eyes Opal Opal Opal Opal

Vagrant 10:38
Seed, pervasive flourishing sign Of raging belligerance Earth, the womb carrying our last stand Cuddling our perishing Sea, wisdom of a faded past Grieving for innocence Soothe, and watch how the clouds are running fast Away from everything Thousands of years, struggling with fate Year after year after in the shadow When this dull noise is covering all Mine and your life,our decomposture To find the path To forget the wrath A lapse of bliss And then our nemesis Blurred, the circle is closing all around us Confusing our seeking eyes Kneeled, by all the scum we're forced to bear We're now precipitating What, remained of all our sacred wars Remnants of vagrant souls Bright, the alter ego we created once Vanished into universe We lost the path We embrace the wrath And stone our own brothers Bless, this weak endeavor to live Cut through the curtains and see Feel this momentary bliss Of nothing more than your eyes Of nothing more of than my prays After the monster I've been So it's grown inside of me I've got some memories still Of that momentary bliss Of nothing more then those eyes Of nothing more that my lies I've got some memories still After all the mud I swallowed If there's a hope i could borrow That someone hid from my sight There's still a spark to ignite There's still a spark to ignite There's still a spark to ignite There's still a spark to ignite Lost in the middle of an everlasting trip Lost on the verge of a glowing and raging flame Lost inside the eye of an apathetic god Found inside the rotting flash of a dead man walking

Bloodbound 10:39
An overwhelming sight The shade of a dying sun Vitals toppling over, put you asunder into silence Will you get this right, then? Breath, live, broke in two sides don't give up, strive Don't plead your soul divide So feed your limbs and rise Put yourself together Oh before You go and slide away Stand your ground and face it Oh before You go and leave me here Helpless They tried to instill Right into your heart The seed of fear Reconcile Embrace your painful withering life Realign your world And reach it through the bloodbound To the deepest sea To the tallest tree To the brightest sun To the farest star To this beating flesh I'm not keen to rest I'm not keen to rest I'm not keen to rest I'm not keen to rest Cut the distances blank your consciousness Son of this time being Creature witnessing Cut the distances blank your consciousness Son of this time being Creature witnessing Cut the distances Blank your memories Son of yourtime being Far away from here Cut the distances Blank your memories Son of your time being Far away from here Cut the distances Blank your consciousness Son of this time being Far away from here Cut the distances Blank your memories Son of your time being Far away from here Blood Bound I feel it within Blood Shed casts like a shadow I leave you here Ghost of a past Remnants eroded by remorses I leave you to lacerate Remnants ghost of my twin

About Orichalcum:

"Is something special, it is an album that both swaggers and
swoons [...] a balance of musicality that you can both get lost in
and be brutalised by"
- Frazer Jones, Desert Psychlist

"A debut that leaves no room for filler, every note and beat
holding weight"
- Joel Costa, counter-sound

"A stunning record that offers KILLER and EXCITING grooves throughout"
- Steve Howe, Outlaws of the sun

"43 minutes of heavy crushing metal in 4 long tracks, so atmospheres have time enough to self-transform, crawling in dark crypts"
- Thierry “Slowpoke-T“ François, Metal Intégral

"The tone, pacing, and writing are right in that target area that makes good music great"
- Scott Spires, Clean and sober
