Awakened by whispering darkness
From depths of Chaos, I rise.
I lead a legion of black souls
through thickets of ancient forests.
Darkness will open portals
To distant shining stars.
To other spaces without time
Where everything is reborn.
There will be no more suffering,
Just contemplation of the light.
Escape from rotten bodies...
Far away, through the spatial dimensions.
My light eternal and pure
The pain is gone forever,
Together with lies.
I am cleansed from dirt.
Bright flash in the dark
The spirit rushes to the Gods.
Tearing apart
Flesh of gray clouds.
Flames of cosmic gates
Call into the halls,
Where all living souls
Flow to infinity.
Now I come into
Through the cleansing in the flesh...
For new life in other space.

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
