lyrics

As the first steps are taken
Upon these hallowed grounds
An overwhelming presence
Sense of direction, unfound

As one walks along the path
Surrounded by the thoughts
Who is the One who perceives
The thing which these words around, weave

Into the forest we go
Heading forward as if there were no tomorrow
The past a tome of lessons
A denial manifest in repression
Within and between these trees it is seen in an anomaly in reality
Personality identity fallacy upon the pyre to burn for all eternity

There are many routes on this path
All of them, arduous tasks
How can one, confined, envision
The passage of pure concision?
The face of the ones we seek
Lie under every mask which weeps
The imperative question to hold
What to do when faced with a broken soul?

Now that steps have been taken
Untouched grounds, now familiar
What's been left behind
A vestigial afterthought

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Path”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Path”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
