In fear and in dark
And with blistering heart
From all mercy depart
Take heed, an empire of
Hate and lead
The fates weep overheard
Hail the gathering dread
Take heed, an empire of
Fire, that burns inside the soul
Air, thick with the cries of the merciful
For truth is rare, and man is weak
Love is frail, and hearts are meek
Cowards rejoice
At the absence of choice
Hail primordial voice
Take heed, an empire of
Shadow and flame
Soul linger in shame
With no virtue to claim
Take heed, an empire of
Earth, devoid of life, a grave
Water, a torrent of blood ne’er to stave
But hark, here sounds the horn of calm
The sky brightens and beckons all home
For a peace eternal will rule the day
Fear, hate, and worry will melt away

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023

Geboren is a perfect centerpiece to Balans, but the entire album deserves much attention. The vocals, drums, and production are all exemplary. Melodies and riffs are distinctive. It’s a little slower paced than I expected, but very good. Metallurgical Fire
