Elcrost - Hunters Of Dawn & Eventide 10:13
lyrics
buy track
I laid beneath a savagery dawn Beneath the welkin of nymphs and fawns Above, the flocks are demented in glee They muted the cries and silenced their pleas I stood upward on companions and foes A mountain of bones, deep red overflowed The forest grew silent, empyrean grey A cinder reflection, behold, the prey Striding ablaze on golden wagon The eight-legged horse pushed forth Pacing like lightning and thunder Ulf’s piercing howls lacerated the sky, drip, drip alveolus Trampled to death, for a thousand-fold The talon speared forth through plains of gold “Vagrants, Surrenders, Deceivers and Prey Heed the choirs of bane, a hymn of dismay” Heed! Heed! The sound of silence Heed! Heed! The call of Woden, freely roamed in the hunt Cradling affection, heart-bounded in passion Prideful retreat turned disgraceful regression A Jolnir season for cowardly souls Woden harked, unjust with blindfolded woe Witness me, my amber heart Now etched with lovers’ lamenting loss Let us rejoin in the north of winter Please take our bones, ‘fore gone black hunters Heed! Heed! The sound of deceit Heed! Heed! The caws of misery Let our bodies rejoin in tapestry Let our souls divide freely Let us savor this lifeless sojourn In frozen heart of Niflheim we burn Let our bodies rejoin in tapestry Let our souls divide freely Intertwining in glooming shadows Decaying in the twilight afterglow Take to heart this unfair judgement Oh, craven-born! Oh, fair-blood gallant! Rapid gates of horns and ivory Winding the House of Sleep, in trance Take the path of dream or righteous Diluted shadows of things once precious Pathos and Dolor, let open your way Thee, wayfarer, what’s left to say? Rape the vestal, rape the clean Amidst the hunting in day-breaking spring Grace the fallen with crowns of thorns Let immortals adore with crowns for none Blood, fire, death and silence Flaying for vain and falsified credence A memory of maiden faded like yesterday In Eventide awake Mouth bursting with laughter Laughing beneath my gallows pole Biting my lips, let crimson wine bleed For no masters, for no hunters

Elcrost - Calendula 05:24
lyrics
buy track
Perched on her naked skins, benevolent trembles. Sweet ambrosia, like an ever-flowing stream from within. Vivid imagination, a torrent of liquid fire, bursting her lustful desire, dripping down from her porcelain lips. Clasping her chest, untangled her wound. Feel the beating from her breast and the rumbling wails of her womb. A curious forest peeking a branch at windowpane, to hear the woman’s song radiating through the ether. Thus, ever, towards the alluring sea. Where there’s quiver, where there’s fright. Calendula, a cluster of ecstasy. Always (like a prey) sweating through ghastly vesper (and wandering). Like a breeze of rising days (in twilight). Eclipsed in woodland sleeper, ensanguined through ages. One by one, I lift her veils. Sailing fingers through her thighs, clawing a furrowed trail, hands weaving in knots. I bleed at her sovereign side. Above the soil, forget me not.

Phantom Blood 06:03
lyrics
buy track
O father I grieve with you, the pain of loss blackens our hearts, this disdain you feel, when your love was killed, your thirst for revenge can only tear us apart… King of the blood… Betrayed, no choice but to escape, my kin has gone insane, not who he once was, Summoned, by the lord of the darkness, commanding his night hordes, across the land.. I slumber in a tomb deep below, waiting for my time to come, Disturbed from my rest by an ancient foe, cursed by my father’s return, Together with our destinies intertwined, through shadow we walk this same path, a journey into the evil unknown, to slay the Impaler, tyrant of death.. Mass graves, humanity enslaved, the towns are all burning, for the sin of one priest, Armies, of demons keep coming, spreading destruction, ‘til the light reaches in... The battle still rages on as we pass, through the halls of this great fortress that I once called my home… With magic and weapons, we kill all who oppose, as we make our way to the place, where my father lingers there on his throne… My destiny is calling, I make the move forward, the fury of hatred that burned in his eyes.. Violently mourning, bloody tears are now falling, for the wife he loved so dear, Accepting his fate, as I strike with my blade, felled by the hand of his only son, He turns to stone, as I stand there alone.. watching in horror as he turns to dust.. Black skies, the morning that he died, the unholy scourge that served him, swept away.. Dethroned, his castle now my own, the only heir, this is where I remain… until the end.

The Sorrowful Screams Of A Thousand Wicked Souls 14:23
lyrics
buy track
The scent of tragedy in the air, innocent blood has been shed this night Contorted faces twisted in fear and euphoria... they’re lost How is it that this horror before me can be reality? Cold and all alone, all will to fight stripped away, my sense of self begins to fade.. But there I see in the roar of the white, her standing there with amber eyes so bright, All is not lost after all, I will take up my sword and depart into the mystic forest unknown, Her curse, this unholy affliction can be tamed, I will find a way.. That familiar smell, I swear I will make him pay.. For what he took from me! I cannot bear the pain anymore, The wisteria leaves falling all around me.. There is no going back from this, I hear their cries of despair, Why can’t this all be a dream? Trapped in the memories of who I used to be, Save me… Behold the majesty of flame, the blade that burns bright with purpose, and righteousness.. Hissing as they dance, engulfing shadows and those who dwell within, in light… Wicked laughter falters to whispers of ash and dust, forgotten… Now only one remains, vicious and thirsty for cruelty, our last chance for hope ripped away… The breaking of a new dawn, to pass the torch so others live on, for new blood to rise up, to light up the darkness, without fear… When your enemies are near, feel the ripples of fate begin to change.. From the influence of the twisted and deranged.. their carnal desires… We are the lords of night, we are the demonic elite.. We are the 12 kizuki, we are eternal and will never die.. They won’t stop coming for us, a taste of our flesh to nourish their soul, I can smell the stench of death, with every step I take towards the end.. For you… and for all.. humanity, I will bleed.. for them all… In my last moments as memories flash by, my heart fills with joy, I know no innocents died, Mother, have you come forth to take me away? Tell me, are you proud of what I accomplished this day? We are the lords of night, we are the demonic elite.. We are the 12 kizuki, we are eternal and will never die..

about

:: VIXENTA//ELCROST ::

Elcrost build upon the foundations they set in motion with their previous releases "Benighted & Unrequited" & "Foregone Fables". The band presents a concoction of aggressive riffing, rich melodicism and shimmering acoustic as we join Elcrost on a journey deep into the dreamy, autumn wood set upon the backdrop of a fabled gothic world.

Vixenta's side represents a deeper exploration into black metal intertwined with shoegaze as the music weaves through tinges of folk, symphonic, structured electronic & loose progressive influences before concluding with a measured doom metal passage. Vixenta finds a light at the end of the fabled woods only to pull us into a desolate & wintry storm.
