“Thou never from that hour in Paradise Found’st either sweet repast or sound repose; Such ambush hid among sweet flowers and shades Waited with hellish rancorous imminent To intercept thy way, or send thee back Despoiled of innocence, of faith, of bliss.” —John Milton

“Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.” —William Butler Yeats

“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this hour I have come. Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.” —Jesus

"Now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story no one on earth has ever read, which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before." —C.S. Lewis

A sincere thanks to Emperor and the late Erik Satie who primed my musical imagination.

An overwhelming round of applause for the wives who unwittingly promote male mental health as they smile approvingly at their husbands and their wild metal.

And to the Son of God who laid aside His glory, leaving as it were an umbra in heaven, to enter Himself this dark world and die on a cross to save us from our rebellion with Satan, to Him the deepest gratitude: He has cleaned us, retaken His throne, and raises us up to shine together in glory.

Proceeds help church planting in Lithuania.

This is my favourite Vials of Wrath album. I prefer the heavier sound. I like the more recent stuff a lot, but I absolutely love this. PSF 1517

I picked this up a few years ago, at a time when I really needed an album like this. To this day it is still something that I love to play beginning to end and feel every second of it. Such a amazing expression of humbling yourself lyricwise mixed with the most unique style of Black Gaze I've ever heard. billyspears

Through the Dark Ages
by Trébuchet SDG

Finnish medieval unblack metal. I was directed to this via Griffon's end of year list, and if I am to take anyone's thoughts on medieval bm it has to be theirs. An historically diverse collection of Christian grudges expressed with a snarl and a nice sprinkling of diverse musical moments. I don't have a horse in the race of a song like Sola Scriptura, but I love the ferocity of it. A great album to listen to while reading your way through some schismatic rabbit holes. Luke
