I Looked Upon the Face of God and My Body Turned As Ash

Úzkost

Burn me alive. Set this vile Body aflame. We don't always get what we deserve in death. So burn me alive. Burn me alive. Place your heart Before God. Find the shit. Burn it out. I am constantly crushed Under the weight of My own failure. My existence Is a blasphemy Strike me from the record. Wipe my foot prints From the earth. Burn these flapping lips, this hateful tongue, These blackened lungs, This poisoned liver, This clogged heart, These thieving fingers, These clenched fists, Cowardly feet, And whoring dick. I am a plague To this world. Every touch brings misery. Every breath is a curse. Let no memory of me remain. May it be so. Place your heart Before God. Find the shit. Burn it out. Reveal Your face that I May finally be damned. I will call down my dark And my cold and be damned.

Press

Angry Metal Guy

"Lo, and I Am Burning is a dark and troubling gem, a hoard of inner demons hurtling by, unleashed with so much honesty and trvth as to render the petrifying procession beautiful. Regardless of religious beliefs, I would urge all ye faithful to dissonant metal to make a pilgrimage to this album, as this is trvly faith-affirming stuff. Hear me, I beg. 4.5/5"

No Clean Singing

"Lo, and I Am Burning may very well be a divisive release, when all is said and done, and it may not be an easy listen even at the best of times, but it’s undoubtedly a brutally rewarding, not to mention disturbingly compelling, album all the same, and one of my favourite new discoveries of the year."

Noisey

"The album sees them maintain the raw, discordant black metal sound of its debut, while rounding out its sound with elements of doom and death metal."

Brian @ Meat, Mead, Metal

"Many of us are struggling, and sometimes each new day is like getting back up only to be punched in the face again. “Lo, and I Am Burning” captures that struggle, the metal turmoil that makes it seem like things never will be OK again. They will, even though that feels like a hopeless cause sometimes, and perhaps this music can help be a reassuring reminder that you’re not alone."
