Blackest death comes with outstretched hands
A cloak of sorrow draped across the land
It comes to lay its weight upon the earth
It comes as a chariot to be our hearse
Herds of beast-like lowly men
Bred on spirit graves in rotten skin
Cut their flesh in acid temples burned
As their cities fall in the endless void to churn
The chimes of cosmic war echo in great halls
Deafening bells of death make their final call
The last and lonely rose cuts its blackest petals
Our water well is dry, cracked and cruelly brittle
I am not the lucky wanderer
for I’m stuck here on this plane
I live in a chamber of conflict
and I live each day in pain
I am not the lucky wanderer
My soul knew naught but pain
I walked the way of solitude
In a time I can’t explain
I breathed the cold of the earth
and I am slain by mankind’s curse
Farewell, dear dead eyes of kin
swallowed whole in a world of sin
Obliterator No sound, no breath
Obliterator No life, just death
Obliterator no cause no effect
Obliterator no mercy no respect
Obliterator
I am not the lucky wanderer
For luck is weighted with chains
I walk the path of solitude
In a time of loss and pain
I am not the lucky wanderer
for I’m stuck here on this plane
I live in a chamber of conflict
and I live each day in pain
I breathed the cold of the earth
and I am slain by mankind’s curse
Farewell, dear dead eyes of kin
swallowed whole in a world of sin
Obliteration rising in the south
the serpent is opening its mouth
Obliteration rising in the north
the world eater coils around us now
For I am he.......the loneliest seer
watching the doom draw nearer
Satan has chosen all of us
to become relics caked in dust
I am a drifting soul, my spirit strewn around
adrift in ghostly vestments without sound
I walk upon all the bones and ruin
adrift towards the death’s head
adrift towards the moon

Time is cruel, a ghastly abyss, a ghostly cosmic mist
Swallowing all the flesh, drinking all the blood and tasting all the hate within it
Time is God, our hideous maker and now my only keeper
A serpent will fold us into burning stars, shaping the ash into terrains
Pain
Was born in time
Joy
The last in line
Faith
Was lost in time
Life
Was never ever mine
Hope
Is for the mortal
Death
the looming portal
Nebula
Bears my name
In flames
Immortal Seers treading the cosmos
Breathing in the air of the gods
Cursed alive, acid visions, telling of a nearing great fire
Cursed alive, bloodied, with one foot left in this mire
Immortal travellers, born into earth, dead to the angels' lying choir
I see myself walking in endless summer rain
In a galaxy of beauty built on graves
I see myself weeping in endless summer rain
In a galaxy of beauty carved by slaves
Time as a serpent god
Time as the ancients' blood
LSDemon
LSDemon
I see myself walking in endless summer rain
Awakened to a new dawn in a time too far away
I see myself weeping in endless summer rain
In a galaxy of beauty born of this human plague
Ouroboros
Serpent master
Serpent saviour
great destructor
Ouroboros
Serpent mother
Serpent father
all seeing eye
Formless
Into chaos born
Formless
Into aeons spawned
Formless
The semen of the gods
Formless
Like strands of the soul
Formless
Birth in Kali's skull
Time as a serpent God
Time as the ancients' blood

Opium Grave Melbourne, Australia
Opium Grave is Black Kosmische Musik - a malignant hybrid of black metal, darkwave, 70s and 80s horror/sci-fi soundtracks,
early electronic music and krautrock.
Opium Grave is Siliniez: all synthesizers, drums, organ, voices, lyrics and loathing.
Mankind is a plague upon the Earth and deserves nothing but scorn.

Opium Grave recommends:
John Carpenter's music has always exuded calculated minimalism and a dark atmosphere. He is a hugely influential film maker and master composer. "Lost Themes" offers sinister sonic perfection.

Faerie Über Alles
by NUIT NOIRE
There is no other band like Nuit Noire. A fusion of raw BM, punk and a truly obscure nocturnal spirit. The forest is alive with strange creatures of the night and this is their essence, in audio form.
go to album
To me, this record is a perfect synthesis of forest ambience and cold, tortured black metal. A wholly transcendent experience, right up there with the "Wind of Moors" release from 2005. Hails.
