In these halls, preserved in solemnness
Sands of creation take form of wholeness
The winds of destruction race across
Leaving a swirling mass of chaos
Reticent abbot descends through symmetry
To wander among the garden of infinity
Celestial rays from pyramidal altar
Cloak the form of the silent father
The highest crest of mountain tall
Points to my light, flickering dim and small
Though the gloomy night we shall ever fear
Our stars will burn forever clear
As the gleaming of the white moon
Makes the wolves to all dread immune
And though these cliffs may one day break away
This glowing darkness eternal shall stay
Shrouded brothers of the word
Enkindle the consecrated flame
Before a voice in the darkness stirred
To smother the light and destroy my name
And the night rushed forth in haste
To fill the void of the inner shrine
The cry was heard beyond the waste
I heard at last that voice was mine
The highest crest of mountain tall
Points to my light, flickering dim and small
And though these cliffs may one day break away
This glowing darkness eternal shall stay

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

This album is incredible. A perfect embodiment of those northern winds piercing you to the heart. I'm convinced these riffs could move glaciers. 𝔅𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔰 ॐ 𝔄𝔟𝔶𝔰𝔰

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022

Dans The Density Parameter, Mesarthim reprend tous les ingrédients qui font leur marque de fabrique : des pistes assez longues au rythme énergique (très palpable sur "Recombination" par exemple) et jouant sur des structures cycliques, un chant qui erre parmi les étoiles... Les ambiances sont prolifiques mais elles changent la donne : gracieuses, certes, mais surtout plus mélancoliques qu'autrefois. The Density Parameter est un peu la dernière bouffée d'oxygène que donne la combinaison spatiale. Jordan Vauvert
