lyrics

Agrippa d'Aubigné, I, Misères, v. 211 - 243
(24 août 1572)

L'homme est en proie à l'homme, un loup à son pareil;
Le père étrangle au lit le fils, et le cercueil
Préparé par le fils sollicite le père;
Le frère avant le temps hérite de son frère.

On trouve des moyens, des crimes tout nouveaux,
Des poisons inconnus, ou de sanglants couteaux
Une croix bourguignonne épouvantait nos pères,
Le blanc les fait trembler, les tremblantes mères

Croulent à l'estomac leurs poupons éperdus
Quand les grondants tambours sont battants entendus.
Et les meurtres publics ont le nom de justice (bis)

Injustice

L'honorable bourgeois, l'exemple de sa ville,
Souffre devant ses yeux, violées femmes et filles
L'injustice est principe de droit; comme un monde à l'envers
Le vieil père est fouetté de son enfant pervers.

A grand display that's equally gorgeous and grotesque! Churning, writhing rhythms lay the groundwork for caustic, venomous vocals and discordant melodies that remind me of a death metal version of Blut Aus Nord. One of 2023's best metal albums! Turd Ferguson
