lyrics

A VIRTUE OF YOUR SUFFERING

The dreams of death and decay
Again, with beauteous grin,
Born with a chastened desire,
Over a dusty snow with a glittering blade.
Expire within your radiance and my night,
Light like a dusky feather from the other hand,
Expire within those radiance (as a blight),
Night with thy beauteous light, the beauteous skies.
Dark face without warning, little voice without doubt,
Or I shall make a virtue of your suffering:
Every stone against a hundred silken arms.
To serve a dominate and perfect entity!
To find her beauty in a fashioning smile.
Behind your curtains we pass the darkness by night,
Wine and memory and reason and desire!
Beside an old man with a smoky lantern light.
Dark face without an answer (to an idle face);
Carved on the cellar after an old running storm.

Ψευδομένη
by Ὁπλίτης

supported by 14 fans who also own “Virtue of Your Suffering”

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer

Ἀντιτιμωρουμένη
by Ὁπλίτης

supported by 13 fans who also own “Virtue of Your Suffering”

Firstly, I will never tell what I saw on that cover art at first glance. Secondly, Ἀντιτιμωρουμένη brings even more dissonant and caustic sounds to the table than Τρωθησομένη, making it less immediate and therefore more challenging. But starting with track 4, something collapses, this album plunges into complete and utter disarray and will not stop for a second to haphazardly assault you for the remaining 30 minutes of its runtime. Breathtaking? Yes. Suffocating? Yes. Great? Absolutely. David Fischer

Invicta
by Serpent Column

supported by 13 fans who also own “Virtue of Your Suffering”

Dans Invicta, Theophonos reprend une formule qu'il maîtrise bien : un black metal furieux s'inspirant de thèmes antiques grecs qui aura vite fait de perdre la personne inattentive. Mais en même temps, il sait comment changer cette formule — et il ne fait vraiment pas semblant — puisque cet album est en grande partie instrumental. Theophonos, en vrai virtuose, a l'audace de créer une ouverture de 14 minutes qui passe comme un ouragan. Comme quoi, le titre de l'album ne ment pas : il est invaincu. Jordan Vauvert
