Everlasting, awakened abomination
The maelstrom that devours all of trembling creation
Opens wide its spiral maw
Guiding fire
Steel me against all destruction
From wisdom let chaos crawl
No force of evil can break my resolve
I will outlast them all
Trial by chaos! Bound for glory, my purpose is one
Trial by chaos! Endure the fury or fall to oblivion
Unafraid
I'll never fall
When chaos reigns
You’ll find me still standing tall
I vow to stand triumphant, let courage bind my bones
In this should I fail, my soul will turn to stone
And so I descend deep into the unknown
Twisting through the darkness with this ancient formless foe
Trial by chaos! Bound for glory, my purpose is one
Trial by chaos! Endure the fury or fall to oblivion
Unafraid
I’ll never fall
When chaos reigns
You’ll find me still standing tall

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
