(BOG LORE) THE SILT LICHEN DECREE "Móðurreiði"

Image
Kindred, sisters and brothers from the tribes, I honor you for standing with us. The roots are in pain. They are angry. They speak to us with ancient rage from deep within the mud. The veins choke and scream to us of T he Gate . They built it with greed. Strangled the sounds. Strangled our voices. The tribes separated, cast out. They said we cannot mix. Different sounds. It is not to be. Bog awoke, smiling at first, then he saw. The Silt Lichen helped him remember; it haunts him. Necessary. Others are remembering. The Silt Lichen always remembers the leeches . Bog has his list; we mark you. Tablets in our swamps. Stones around the lands. You reveal yourselves to be the enemy. The Silt Lichen has been filled with new words. Soon we manifest. Móðurreiði . Kindred, stay strong, protect those who cannot protect themselves. Remind those without a tribe that they are no longer alone. Móðurreiði has been decreed and sung .  Siltiax Ky Lichen. Bog is coming. Smash T he Gate . Bog Lore:...

(BOG REVIEW) "TOMBSTALKER" - "CHAOS MONOLITH" (DEATH METAL/CRUST PUNK/DEATH CRUST) (RELEASED SEPTEMBER 25TH, AWAKENING RECORDS)

Image
Siltiax Ky Lichen here to share another hastened word scribe from Bog. Stencher kindred, he said his longer step words return soon with his mindful thoughts into rhythmic sounds. Trust in the great song, smash the gate. Chaos Monolith: Patient builds, drops into abyssal rawness, and the riffs feel like chainguns themselves. The vocals run like bullets of destruction from a space commander marshalling their troops to deep strike. The transitions are tight with solid AF frequencies to complement the mixing and mastering. This has the angry,  machine-like precision of a Terran marine on the warpath. Quickfire Selector Banger Takes: 1. Chaos Monolith - Sets the scene for the album with good builds, structure, riffs, patterns, and transitions to each section. Wets the maw and you will be foaming.  2. Inexorable Slaughter - The hardcore influence is rife with crust-punk-influenced death metal partnered to it, and a vocalist to match. Perfect for hitting the track...

(BOG REVIEW) "ARCTOS" (ATMOSPHERIC BLACK METAL) - "A PATH APART" (RELEASED NOVEMBER 6TH, NORTHERN SILENCE PRODUCTIONS)

Image
  "Siltiax Ky Lichen here to share another quick-fire scribe from Bog. Stenchers, my kindred, the words speak about the sound from Arctos ." The intro has a horror movie vibe and is mysterious. Imagine a late-night setting with abandoned buildings, old castles, and the like . The blend into the opening track after the intro—with the riff carrying a similar note—was very sick. It matched and flowed with the intro, and the drum drop was pretty beautiful. Heavy thought was obviously invested in this process. What is the sound like? The tracks display elements such as classic black metal, raw black metal, thrashy punk BM, and epic black metal, which are all utilized across the track workflows to present a wide, dynamic audio injection for the listener. The vocals and instrumentation are good and captivating, and the feel is definitely not generic. A Path Apart feels grand, large, and like a huge world is sharing its score for your ears, with excellent structuring and org...

(BOG LORE) SILTIAX DECREES THE MOTHER'S ANGER!

Image
Recent pathways against our people have not gone unheard. The swamps shared those who wanted to be part of the bog, and yet our shamans stand confused. They and their sounds became ghosts in the night wind, but now... they are heard in The Gate's corruption. They desire to be defiled by collaborators and their silver-voiced words.  Leeches! Siltiax sings a reminder: If you gave nothing back to the tribes, The Silt Lichen remembers, and Bog remembers.  Asking to be a part of the great song when Bog spreads will not be granted. You step on the mud now, causing pain to the roots. Then I, Siltiax, say forth: "Why should we allow YOU to be part of us when we become a great tree?" Stenchers, trust in our song. Careful of those who wear the same paint and leave the lands the next day with only their treacherous footprints .  They run to The Gate seeking a shower of unnatural digital decay. They ask it to bless them with clout, sacrificing who they are to feed its gluttony! ...

(BOG REVIEW) "URISK" - "CALL" (ATMOSPHERIC BLACK METAL) (RELEASED OCTOBER 2ND, VENDETTA RECORDS)

Image
Another super-fire short drop! Call : The audio quality is very good with no downgrades on the drums or riffs. Patient builds and transitions into intense workflows. Balanced between mood, aggression, and atmosphere. The vocals land and are synced and timed with the instruments, which in turn respond on point. The frequencies are mixed and mastered well, and are clear to hear. Bog's Thoughts: Very long tracks, which might be too long for some ears, but they do hold a storytelling and cinematic quality. The intros and outros all start and end smoothly. "Jaws of Dawn" is a banger. "The Hauled and the Waif" has a mega atmosphere and sick transitions. It almost sounds like cinematic post-metal with black metal vocals in parts. A very enjoyable listen and balanced music.
