Dark dismay and horror take me
I travel the tunnels alone
Getting used to solitude
Human worms stand in my way
I awaken the destruction in me
I'm the master of places underground
Bound to protect them forever
Dive into the wastewater, hollow daylight fools!
Know the truth and learn the rules of filthy halls and pools!
There I stride, my powers great
I speak with those I've created
Disposal Lord watches over the kingdom
Destinies interwoven in black patterns
The sewage plant is a home to noble lords
Son of Manhole Lids be my name
I've seen Lord Satan's face at my birth
Still I do not bear his mark
Light reflects on sewer's brick walls
The cursed vaults strenghtened with metal
Gray streams flush the human flesh away
Grim machines fight for art and dust
Cruel wars and endless battles stained the shadows
Each of the bricks remembers it
Witnesses of false gods embraced by mud
In blood and rust and gray they lay
Those places are called "zvradla" in every tongue
Places of death, watery grave of all things clean
There you'll find countless bones of our foes
Though we've won the war, yet another one is brewing
The minds corrupt of foolish men drive them into our lair
The eyes of vaults and walls see all
Once again we call fellow sewer masters
Our kingdom rises ever stronger, the truth, the truth lies in the filth

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode

Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost

Akitsa has been among my top tier for a decade, and this is probably their most consistent album. Their experimental period seems to be over and they've definitely settled on an overall sound here, not too far from early Burzum. It's great, although I do miss the unhinged, hateful vibe of their earlier stuff. grahamy
