lyrics

I step into the sun
with face covered in blood
and wine and gold

I feast with the dead
I burn
the flames of emptiness
embrace my peeling skin
I am a sick man
I am a spiteful man
with no tomorrow in sight
I am present
I step into the sun
with face covered in blood
and wine and gold
I rest with the dead
I mourn thee
floating face down
in the river of grey
and I am silent
hanging rocks around my neck
while walking further
towards the unmoved
with lips of lurid blue
faceless and nonexistent
and I am silent
when the moon is hanging low
over the sea with no shores
over the nameless grave
under the crystalline light
hail them as they no longer live
I hail them
on the Night of the White Devil
I travel through the days long gone
I see the void above me and beyond
I lift my eyes
upon the ragged moon
and I see my glare
choking and pale
from dark to blazing light
from dark to blazing light
and even silence
speaks to me in tongues

I had a dream
I died
I sat in the golden chariot
crowned with the black moon
and the golden sun
with red eyed crows rushing me forward
I bite my wrist
one and then the other
I felt the blood on my tongue
I chew the skin I was born in
the one I could never find
and before I fell into deep blue slumber
on the Night of the White Devil
I could feel black water flowing through my lungs
and I could feel cool black soil caress my aching skin
and I drank my downfall
a notorious failure
from a golden chalice
and I drank
and I drank

father
the brother of sleep
take me back
where I belong
put me back into ground
father

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Night of the White Devil (part I, II & III)”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Night of the White Devil (part I, II & III)”

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

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Night of the White Devil (part I, II & III)”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Night of the White Devil (part I, II & III)”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
