Arrogant Bastard Unsure how 'The Abnegation' originally got on my wish list (praise be to Jörn!), but I'm thoroughly excited to hear more! Reminiscent of Ovid's Withering, Inferi, Enfold the Darkness, etc.
I was never fully aboard the Inferi train. I now know why... this is much better. The two songs available instantly constituted the pre-order. Favorite track: Unsightly Beast.

alpengeist19 Fucking beautiful. Unsightly Beast is incredible, that chorus gets me every single time. If you like Inferi or Enfold Darkness, prepare to forget they exist. Favorite track: Unsightly Beast.

the purge and urge of judge and jury scourge stand before the pious executioner's sin discourse “engrave my name in their black grimoire of contempt” sacred sanctity of fear held strong and crept “defiled ideals of what i left though i shall not writhe beneath less colder scythe” “control those who strayed far from his...” the lust eyed surged for the faithful flamed ancient peers tickled riddled tongue of plagues plainchant priest gave praised for the demons came “unleashed foul beast to feast from master’s wrath of those who strayed far from his path beyond vistas and darker pasts” “infest bloodlust held against in what i trust for at my trial did he regrasp they yearned and begged for what he asked” “unsheathed the lies, repent, unmask! “their stare beyond compare clutching crown of ancient prayer engrossed despair” and i accept my last breath a call to arms is what was left as i synchronize to the frequency of death “all the crimes divine that were left behind left a scar through time narrowed by the blind swelling further bound by what was mine found left drowned in bitter wine” “the lucid mourn, feeding off my scorn unclean defeat for the next unborn heed the creed that i forewarned in vain to crest the uninformed concede that need to feed the logic that i bleed accept one my last breath subsequent to the fallacy thereafter death” sacred sanctity of fear held strong and crept “defiled ideals of what i left though i shall not writhe beneath less colder scythe” “control those who strayed far from his...” “the lucid mourn, feeding off my scorn unclean defeat for the next unborn, heed the creed that i'd forewarned in vain to crest the uninformed concede that need to feed the logic that i bleed a call to arms is what was left as i synchronize to the frequency of death” “all the crimes divine that were left behind left a scar through time narrowed by the blind swelling further bound by what was mine found left drowned in bitter wine” “is the prospect of truth enough to keep awake or has that yearn for deceit now sealed your fate convenient narrative ellipsis or a somnambulant state?”

predetermined natal trophies "saved" forever from freedom of thought profane and zealous disciples wane upon eclectic reflections smoldering souls convergence instinctively cradled the ill-informed and at what cost the darkness clings a gleam into the eye of the shallow queen the laceration of seraph wings hanging from the belfry is this the call of triumph? or all we're meant to be? a cruel twisted wraith permeate of unquestioned faith to dominate all unfettered to his call grasping their souls two vile tongues spit invective rites delusional conquest the laceration of seraph wings at last dismal abyss this is the absence dubito ergo sum (i doubt therefore i am) cogito ergo sum (i think therefore i am) cyclical reign of torment benighted enchantment fable tales from choir hymns sung soothed and battered in laurels arose from keepsakes forbidden but thus he spake "this is where it draws near, this will all end here" blood drawn rush tides restart anew coming into view sunrise like scarlet skies and mordant times hanging from the belfry is this the call of triumph? or all we're meant to be? a cruel twisted wraith permeate of unquestioned faith to dominate all unfettered to his call grasping their souls two vile tongues spit invective rites invite the blind to watch them fall for when the darkness fell did true evil, enthrall a cyclical reign of torment benighted enchantment like fable tales from choir hymns sung soothed and battered in
