You’re a profound mire to yourself
Burying innumerable worlds and possibilities
By which your presumptuous spirit becomes inevitably domesticated
Devouring each silhouette of pugnacious souls
You shall grant yourself freedom
Before pissing at your god
For he will rejoice with shame and remorse
As your stigma!
Yet you struggle, struggle in this inconceivable mire
In which you no longer eager for ascension,but for intoxication
The very dope that anesthetizes people within
Abominably
But yes, it’s a mire of paralyzation and devouring...
So you, the distraught soul of anguish and hope shall listen to the moan of eminence grise
Relinquishing control of your own reason and emotions
Thereby you ascend to heaven as the eagle of ultimate brutality
Albeit from this mire of ignorance!
Rise! Be the god of oneness
and the next soaring belligerent eagle is ascending to render this harmony precious, and ephemeral...
...et le prochain aigle belliqueux plane pour que cette harmonie soit précieuse et éphémère...
Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer
An outstanding beast of an album! After testing the waters with Ἡ εἰκών, delivering more of that on the twice as long Ψευδομένη, J.L. seemingly decided to make Τρωθησομένη at least twice as aggressive. The atmosphere its predecessor had has been cut and replaced by riff after riff after riff. Riffs of all sorts, as should be noted: punky, pumping, sick, and grooving. It's like getting clapped by a frenzied maniac for 40 minutes straight. One of the wildest albums I've heard in a while! David Fischer
Breathless firehose of everything angular, urgent & relentless on offer since somebody put the word black into music. A m a z I n g! Mcgilroy the Housefly
A consistently amazing band! Brings in new elements without letting up on the intensity. The saxophone adds an interesting edge, helping with the cacophony, sometimes, almost melodic at others... Brian Parker
