Helhest A totally unknown band to me. When I searched for Threskiornis on Google I got both the ibis and a few reviews of this album. To embody the obscurity just add to the album's artwork the right atmosphere (given the blackened trait) that's so nicely crafted with other instrument's harshness. Dual vocals and lyrics follow the melancholy given by the cello, making this music so special. Can't get tired of these riffs and the cello parts. This is really a must-listen and deserve a follow-up. Favorite track: Writhe.

This wasn’t a choice but its my life I embrace it learnt to survive Weve felt the dirt weve tasted blood we’ve licked our wounds where to from here I leave the house in armour of being Everything Ignored or just simply Torn. Away.

Writhe 04:09
plug in heart carried me far, rot my flesh into yr hand fill my bones up, crumble my golden curl dust my sun spotted bridge hold my earlobe with your tounge dance your teeth across my rolling landscape legs and graze my knees, with boulder eyes rise with heat, bake and write underneath, red limbs splayed on worn tarmac sweet honey skin, earth rubbed in skull stench road, death heartache pull at the corners of my skin fill anthills with freckles teeth line the roads my tounge licks at empty riverbeds

i choose a world, where i can breath the air i choose a world, where i can submerge my head in freshwater i choose a world, where i can climb it's curves i choose a world, where i can plant my feet firmly in the dirt trudge frustration in the earth i lack weakness i break easy dark times, lie ahead of us, but there comes a time when we must choose, between what is easy and what is right the air is toxic the water is poisoned the mountains are razed my feet, lay in nothing but dust i lack weakness i break easy

Quiet Man 04:12
high horse, educated, entitled and opinionated open mouth, ignorant and loud speak your mind, intellectualised unquestioned confidence, self assured drain me of my time stop talking at me. stop talking at me. when you open your mouth and no words, come out you'll be the quiet man

Land Stolen 04:14
Land stolen Taken away from those who protected not just dirt but an ageless culture the oldest, destroyed, in the blink of an eye the oldest, destroyed, in the blink of an eye Lives taken away for the precious soil Luxury of the west luxury prevails Apologies were made titles were signed this all means nothing Luxury Prevails

Silence 04:04
Silence, Silence, Silence Will be the death of us No longer shall we hide like the mouse it is our time to rise like the wolf Our time has come to run through the streets the time has now come to tear up these streets Stone By Stone And not lay silent Silence.
