lyrics

Cold heartless worm, slither silently toward the sun
Embrace the cold sinew and bone
Laying silent, open mouthed, staring skyward
Toward the red stained screaming skull
Iron feeds the bones and the larvae breeds

Here in the earth, the dead shall sleep
Endless eons, silent voices in the deep
The roots impale the dead
The roots impale the dead
Our legends will be fed
By the blood of heathen kings
Feeding legends without sin

Their blackened eyes and ashen skin
The old and silent voices
Drift around the vortex winds
The messenger of the vortex winds
Around the towering spire
The black granite monolith
Echo with the cries of blackbirds

Three ravens black, circle oaks, shrieking back the downfall of man
Here doth the snake lie amongst the bracken brown
Singing the harmony to the bleak grey winds
The green man watches ever long
Time is waiting

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 11 fans who also own “THE ROOTS IMPALE THE DEAD”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Algleymi
by Misþyrming

supported by 8 fans who also own “THE ROOTS IMPALE THE DEAD”

Tout est une question de perspective. En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert

This album makes me think these guys have been listening to quite a lot of Gojira. That’s not a bad thing. I love the production. It’s my second favorite album from Skogen. Metallurgical Fire

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard... kowaikage2
