Exordium 02:14
2.
Nocturnal existence prison Castle walls become your coffin Slave to dead, unholy servant Claw the walls under your torment Slave to dead You will never leave my grasp There is but only one path This is only the beginning Army of eternal beings Follow me into my tomb You will die and begin anew Only mortals are doomed To the darkness descending Stay forever Become us
3.
The Gate 03:56
The mountain before you awaits The keeper of unholy dead Pray as you approach the gate Their troops are awaiting Their disease is spreading Callous, twisted, insane To the army of death Til our final breath Your final breath March forth, blades out Destroy, show no remorse Flying, serpents Swoop down, kill all mankind Show no remorse Flying, serpents Swoop down, kill all mankind Seen by the tower Crushed by the bringer of doom Engulfed in bodies and flame Your final hour They’ll inherit and bury the world Cower before the black gate
4.
Baku's Realm 03:22
Into the black oblivion Where seldom have seen Eyes roll back into your skull Enter the dream Terror subconscious, never to wake Circling hellscape, devouring Drifting away, mental fray Ulcerate Terror subconscious, never to wake Open the gates, let in the beast The creature in shadows Follows you still Evade the demon Spiral to madness As the brain bleeds Once it can have you It will never let you go
5.
Exhaustion 06:02
We will march forward Claim and consume the land They’ll never take us We will destroy the earth Erase our future Conquer at our command Breed to extinction Ingest ‘til nothing’s left Breed to extinction Point of exhaustion Congregate, desolate Hell scorched earth Vast oceans of fire Disease harbinger, hark the bells Mass consumption ushers swarms Acid clouds come raining down Sow the seeds of mass extinction Keep control, it’s too late Pay tomorrow, to ride today Lay down and decompose Disintegrate into the soil Give something back to this world Take your life and leave this earth
6.
Asunder 03:14
Enter black, spin the wheel No way out, split linear Multiply and divide Split into another
7.
Sun explodes I watched its life from young to old To the great unknown Time dies I forever venture on To the great unknown I’m alone Weight I’ve created insubstantial Trivial I’m adrift I care not for needs of man Whose ends are known As above, so below From the stars, to my throne Astral planes, my road The omega, immortal As above, so below From the stars, to my throne
8.
Dead deep calm Falling deeper To the terror below Face the ocean behemoth Alone Hunting through time Immemorial Infinite spiral Awaken the fossil Beware the surface black unknown Open the old one’s portal Caught in an ancient cycle You will return again Ancient cycle You will return You will return again Vessel of death Awakening Searching for prey Kill has been made Back to the grave Where it will sleep Eternal Eternal dream Eternal Immemorial Oxidize

about

- - [ws-0015] - -

EXORDIUM is the broodingly reverent debut album from Vancouver’s SCALDING. With studious confidence, Scalding successfully calls upon atmospheric principles without ever becoming bogged down in the genre’s traditional trappings. Abrasive, loud thunderous riffing and assured melodic darkness bring out a more modern side of the scene. Exordium not only introduces us to Scalding but beckons for us to join in the spreading blackness – a march into the black oblivion where seldom have seen. Let the eyes roll back in your skull… “Enter the dream”
