Nocturnal Sorceress - Breaking Free the Wings of an Angel 04:46
lyrics
buy track
no light in the sky above us no heart in what lurks below to see the rewards of righteousness is for your blood to cleanse your soul strained are the voices of the choir and sharp is the blade that i hold take divine punishment into my hands i ring the bell that tolls breaking free the wings of an angel a heavenly body to defile a resolution for the wicked a sense of solace my image reborn no faith in the holy word but the glimmer of blood and steel destroy all your figures of purity what is done hath been thy will advance all your pawns to the forefront and string them all up like meat divide into halves and drained in the streets on your knees, admit defeat and then you'll find another god an image of divine perfection and then you'll find another god a pillar of shame and consequences

Nocturnal Sorceress - A Being Retreats in the Night 03:42
lyrics

i don't want to make things better i don't want to have to try nothing ever seems to be enough a waste of breath and a waste of life i don't want to hear it i don't want to face it nothing seems to bring a new light clawing back up is an option no more the endless cycle of a hollow life whatever draws me forward eventually holds me back without mercy, without fail i'm back where i started before wrong is the path and dead are the trees the life has all left us to rot and disease a beast of our making, a road of our choosing the end of a cyclical strife a being retreats in the night i can't seem to piece together the place in which my problems lie every thought and every feeling begging for the end of life something lies beyond the grave and it beckons with an open hand i have no choice but to follow blindly in everything there lies an end

lyrics

Dark priest of nebulah Spilling the blood of the cosmos Worship the eternal darkness Black magic conspiracy Sacrificial lunar ritual Celestial black mass Hail the endless void Slaughter non-believers Of spectral mysticism Feed them to the stars And in its endless vastness The dark whispers its secrets The void knows all that you know The void sees all that you don't All hail the sinister forces that be Deepspace supremacy Evil rooted deep within Malevolent powers that have always been Sacrificial lunar ritual Celestial black mass

lyrics
buy track
Lurking at winter's dawn Dreary is the sky at the top of the mountain Come forth the season of death The blizzard is raging toward the peak Bring frost upon mortal lands I watch the forrest from within Frostbite grasping around the trees The woods, now a desolate place Enticing the dreadful despair Among the trees, I am lurking at winter's dawn Surrounded in subzero punishing cold No mercy to those in its path I shall observe from the eye of the storm Dor I am the immortal lord of the frost Prowl in the storm of the cold Among the trees, I am lurking at winter's dawn I watch the forrest from within Frostbite grasping around the trees The woods, now a desolate place Enticing the dreadful despair Prowl in the storm of the cold Among the trees, I am lurking at winter's dawn Among the trees, I am lurking at winter's dawn

Mørkdryad - Battles Within the Crimson Storm 05:52
lyrics
buy track
Into the battle we ride Towards the bloody mist Bodies strewn around So many dying breaths The rain is red in the blackened wind In the realms of yore Death is looming in the air Throughout the age of war Battles raging on Between the mighty guilds Undying loyalty Kill or be killed Die for your kingdom or slaughter the foe For it is the choice of the kings The cavalry charge with swords and bows Preparing for battle, the death it shall bring Battles within the crimson storm

about

The third split in the inaugural release from experimental label, formality trope, "trading shame"

A triumphant return for Nocturnal Sorceress to the formality trope choir. In their second split appearance they continue to be one of the most intense and grittiest projects, the underground of Boise music has to offer.

On the B-side of the split, making their label debut, Mørkdryad, brings a blistering and raw sound, years ahead of their age as an artist. A promising black metal project that label can't wait to have a hand in releasing more from this year.
