Split

by Axis of Light

supported by

Ippocalyptica Though the Death Fortress track is among the band’s most primitive, it features all of the elements that we’ve come to know and love about the band’s trademark take on muscular black metal. Let the track serve as your gateway drug into the rest of the Death Fortress discography! The Axis of Light track is no joke, either, delivering raw and unrestrained hate through 10 minutes of black metal butchery. This split is yet another reminder why I lament the dissolution of Fallen Empire… Favorite track: From the Immortal Thrones.

V666 Excellent black metal - the way it should be done.Great misanthropic and hateful atmosphere from both bands. Fallen Empire always delivering the best in black metal releases. Favorite track: From the Immortal Thrones.

Dirk Bergstrom The Death Fortress track is a great piece of driving black metal. Favorite track: From the Immortal Thrones.

1.	Illuminating the Temple / Secrets of the Tomb 10:00	lyrics
Through the shaking of the emerald moon, the crescent of feracity cascady mythos beyond the realm of folk, for above the monuments of Moriah, the map of vitality is presented. Spiritual elevation forged through hammer and gouge, the stonemasons faith, descended from the sky as a pillar of cloud ablaze an eternal oath to the all consuming fire.. The advent of the masonic christ, a son of the morning, released through the new order of ages.. Charts of stars praised by those beyond the heavens, and there dwelled lucifer, the bearer of all light. As a whisper throug hthe tomb, elder lore reigns deathless.. Manifesting within horrid ursurpers, and spoken in tongue of dusk Charred altars vomiting forth tormented doctrine, eyes are drawn towards the dead, the silent god is striving to cry out and fifteen spirits feed from the chapel of bones Ritual cast to the wind, and through vine-ridden halls spits the bleeding disciple; the hangman equals death! Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser? Ob Arm, ob Reich, im Tode gleich
2.	From the Immortal Thrones 09:46

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Black metal psychedelia at its finest. Eerie, unnerving yet comforting and smoothly flowing at the same time, the beginning of SKAPHE. liltito

Melodic, almost pagan black metal out of Iceland with some of the most aggressive vocals I've heard in the genre. It's balls to the walls from the first note with few respites, but its melodic enough to not overstay its welcome. Jeff Wilson
