Phoenix Retribution

BURN!
Divine punishment!
Fallen far from grace!
RISE!
Conquer god’s throne!
Poison creation!
BURN!
Condemn man’s souls!
For all have fallen short!
RISE!
Forged in Hell!
Purified in Pain!
Cast down from heavenly grace
To burn in the pit
Yet risen from those flames
To burn all with them
Angel of luminous beauty
Tempter and tormentor
You know the wisdom of pain
And the strength suffering grants
Ignite!
Purify!
Fragments of divine ideas
Cast in putrid flesh
Knowing longing and omission
Never attainment
Vulgar wants always hiding our
Duty and our purpose
Chained with comfort and with fear
Far away from the forge
BURN!
Life removed!
Enslavement bonds broken!
RISE!
Eden falls!
Return to aether state!
BURN!
Torch this world!
Transform it to a forge!
RISE!
Focused and strong!
Able to pursue our will!
O Angel, condemned to hell
In torment found the power to overthrow god
In Eden, you saw decadence
And saved us from our carnal bliss
A phoenix knowing ascension
Is only possible after fire
Come now Satan and punish mankind
So we can be forged and rise in fire

Winds of Severity
07:54
|

|
Behold, the sky turning black
A wall of clouds blocks out the sun
A hole forms, and angels fall
Burning from the serpent’s judgement
“Divine” judgement proved too lenient
The creator of flesh, a whore himself
Would-be god descended into flesh
Conquered by death, on Golgotha’s cross
And so, this father is a judge no more
The emissary of the sulphur fire where he now burns
Appointed justice on this final day
Spills wrath on beings of demiurgic descent
Brimstone flakes fall from the sky
Our flesh ignites at this rain’s touch
Winds of severity rape us now
Retribution for decadence
The beyond demands death to dirt
Matter stains its perfect beauty
Fire cleans the devil’s painting
Matter no longer hides pleroma
So fear this night, whores of flesh
But approach it also with joy
Your guilt condemns your being to ash
But with life gone, aeonic glory
Shall be renewed
Too long has matter obscured Lucifer’s light
A true god can’t tolerate inferiority
So we’re cast far away from redemption
YWVH’s dirt swept away for devilish beauty!

Burning the Decadent
05:34
|

|
A winged being of god’s love burns in heretic flames
Wings and limbs twisted, bent around the witches’ stake
Mercy deemed insufficient next to justice’s sword
So salvation’s decadent herald burns in Satan’s flames
BURN! SUFFER! DIE!
BURN! SUFFER! DIE!
BURN! SUFFER! DIE!
BURN! SUFFER! DIE!
False god’s love impotent
Against the eternal rule of hate
Acceptance runs counter to aesthetics
So shall be burned black in red flames
Transmuted in Hell’s crucible
To devourment of all substance
Decadence burned against itself
To emerge as pure wrathful virtue
Fire burns flesh! Death takes life!
Cries for salvation go unheard!
Man and Seraph die as one!
Rightful heir of perdition takes his throne!
This decadent angel’s ashes fall around the stake
Emblem of what awaits man and awaits a false god
Justice taken to extreme to become tyranny
Dragging a knife across mercy’s throat

Aether Dawn
05:07
|

|
Sacred bliss interrupted by pre-matter chaos
Formless black tears asunder the veil between worlds
Unravelling in darkness now, universal disintegration
Matter returns into forms, an end to all is here
From this night of utter violent destruction
Shall arise a brand new burning dawn
Princes of death grow tired of a fallen world in stasis
So children of Ennoia blast chaos through this sphere
Unravelling!
Tearing!
Killing!
Ending!
Emanating!
Birthing!
Creating!
Becoming!
To undergo transformation one must first be decomposed
Only once one is deceased can one then be reformed
Total death now streams forth from beyond and from within
Killing to make room for a new order sans matter
A black void rises over the horizon
A black sun shining rays of putrefaction
The start of Earth’s utter violent destruction
Illuminating death in a brand new burning dawn

I seek to be the enemy of YHVH in all things
My will unchained from his flesh, flesh turned on its creator
I rejoice in ecstasy as the world of life collapses
The false god’s miracles ripped to shreds, his subjects suffering
The whores seek to sate their carnal lusts
Their eyes are closed to pleroma
Not seeing the crack the serpent slithered through
Even as his tail encircles their neck!
And now, I violently turn against all flesh that’s before me
My own, that of enemies, and even the son of man
Frenzied now, I lose myself in wrath against all life
My human will dissolved and replaced with a devil’s
Venom dripping from the lightbringer’s jaws
I welcome this poison into my veins
I am life, and thus deserve its pain
But I shall spread this death upon all flesh!
Come forth
Pierce hearts
Flay flesh
Burn bones
Crush hopes
Inspire rage
Sow discord
Build hate
A pool of blood shall be all that remains
As I rip my matter from my form
Life murdered to reveal the void’s depths
Wrath enthroned, a blade turned against acceptance

Outstanding death metal with blackened touches. For those who dig Beherit, Cryptopsy or Demoncy, check out this LP. Much of this LP owes its brilliance to those who went before; that is, this artist does not deny metal traditions. But there is no pre-fabricated art here, as there is a strong, unique vision in all of the songwriting. The riffs all make sense in their given context; there's nothing that seems superfluous. Very highly recommended listening. Look forward to more from Blood Urn! Wow!

Purposeful, this LP’s metal consists primarily of low-to-mid-paced riffs from doom, DM, & BM. These are complemented by influences from prog-rock, in which tonal contrasts add nuance & a way of connecting parts within the album. Everything is structured with meticulous care, avoiding the wild-blend sensation that seems at best pretentious & at worst aimless. Guided by low-pitched vocals that provide a sturdy musical framework & continuity, Condor has produced metal that is very beautiful! Wow.
