1.	Cold Daylight 06:50	lyrics	buy track
As the daylight bursts through Casts the shadows of decay Over all these years Lost without you And the reality I cannot stand As I recall and I reflect Insights of dust Rising and falling I remain silent Blanketed in self-loathing The tide on the wane Distant sombre fells Drenched in the rain Weaving its way To every corner of me ...Wherever it leads In the cold gleam of day Dead hours pass and sway Into the ocean of grey Dwindling away Hollow and sore Lonesome wreckage washed ashore By the tide of the grinding fate Time brings no relief Frantic winds rage unleashed With clenched fists, gritted teeth Tearing seared remnants out of me Tear one by one Arduous roam has began Out of shadows below Into churning whiteout Behold the black clouds The smoke reached so high I beseech, gone astray Will you come To take me away? Fiery winds blow Spreading ash on the snow On the day all hopes die Within the cold light The grimmest frost Ravens afar My years have faded somehow The scent of demise Balefully swirls Mingles into the black and white ...And there's only me
2.	Grey Cobweb Veil 05:53	lyrics	buy track
Under the ice-covered ground The worm of angst keeps gnawing Beyond cold blackened stone walls Entombed hopes begin to sour Pleas from the forlorn chambers Echo through halls we once strolled Waiting for the fatal hour Withered, for the winter is long Mourning ruined my sanity Is this what I've dreamt before? The closing line appears to bring No deliverance at all Cobweb veil Don't you fall apart? Cobweb veil, grey veil Tempest craving for death Carrying choirs of ghastly groans Gaze into the eyes of hunger Harvest from the bloodsoaked soil My heart cries for the past Vainly I opposed Cast in the pit of desolation Stranded in corpse-like cold Debris shall embower my bones The rivers shall become my veins Spirit will stray forsaken places And the hunger shall forever reign Cobweb veil Don't you fall apart? Pass through veil, grey veil Cobweb veil Nothing to leave behind Nor beyond frail, grey veil
3.	The Fog Descends 07:08	lyrics	buy track
Pace, enticed by obscure glare Immerse in steamy, sultry haze For I drift so lifeless now, dead inside Across the night Towards the savagery Into the abyss In cleansing fire Chimerical fate Abase Entwine in pain Sip all of your hate Light up the pyre Call forth the blaze Entwine in pain Sip all of my hate Before the fog clears Drown in eerie night ambience Combust in murky licentious flames In a dream of the ghost of my former self No questions asked In cold and strange embrace Unleash the thirst Ignite, obey Intoxicate Let the rope lead And dissipate
4.	The Dying Sun 05:34	lyrics	buy track
Illusive cries Chime of wordless last goodbyes Dirge of decay Things beyond repair Woeful desire Billowing clouds of reddish sand Entwine my soul Like barbed wire The thistles and thorns Unfold on ragged rocks Endeavour to make it Before the flame is done Ride, yearning for the bygone days To the horizon From dream to badlands Virulent clouds Eyes sorely open The scavengers lurk From the shrine of bones Stunned, ensnared By torrid sunlight Churning up dust Over my last way back Woeful desire Faith washed down, thrown in sand Entwine my soul Like barbed wire Ride feeble winds of unconcern Still on the run Towards the dying sun
5.	October 07:17	lyrics	buy track
The sky heals its wounds No sunbeam pierces through the clouds Dead silence among trees Hollows out extinguished heart Like lifeless parched leaves Bittered by cold, lingering frail Scattered by the wind I'm growing apart, drifting away Nightfall fills my soul Beneath the vault of barren boughs Mournful, heavy breath Congeals into mist, when the forest calls Leaving all behind Shrouded in autumnal haze Anything that would count Is broken apart, drifting away Bleak winds from afar Swept my cursed path Towards twilight's mighty embrace I climb the dark spheres Where wisdom's laid bare In the distance everything drowns
6.	Dusk and Decay 06:09	lyrics	buy track
The wail veils the light And the cold mist crawls from darkness The scarlet of the sky Evokes the primal longing Harbinger of the night Of gelid dissolution The vast funereal path Through the nebulous illusion Black claws reaching to infinity Rooted down in cursed soil Black blood in my veins Seething with pain Rise from deepest depths Out of the bitter abyss Places that are long time gone Beyond the gate of sleep The call, like a dagger’s thrust Cutting my soul apart The call from the past Black claws reaching to eternity Endless dormant forests Wretched altar of agony Sorrow and anguish Lone among dead faces All is empty and vague In the dense nocturnal air Nothing is as before
7.	Drowning 06:35	lyrics	buy track
Spectral moonlit skies Sparkle through bare ice The coarse, frigid tombstone On the ruffled burial vault Black mouth of no return Engulfs the faint starlight And spits a blurred reflection Of the welkin of obsidian Then I edged towards the chasm Without strength, without will Slowly going down Long forgotten memories Writhing through my mind Heart and limbs becoming numb Cold, great cold oblivion And the blissful silence The crystalline current Like bittersweet wine For dazed, sapless lungs It seemed easier to breathe Underneath

about

The first full album brimming with 45 minutes of melodic death/doom metal tinged with blackish elements in their more nature-themed variation. Glorification of decay, a mixture of vast bleak scenery and a sense of nostalgia and despair. Solid fusion of weeping guitar solos and intense, massive riffs. Dynamic, yet infused with atmospheric and acoustic passages. Seven songs with a thick production, reminiscent of the 90's tradition but floating through diverse cold waters.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Peter 'Lestath' Leszczyński at Red Sun Recording Studio.

Released by Art of the Night Productions.

about

Black Blood of the Earth Toruń, Poland

Black Blood of the Earth is a formation devoted to what is negative and painful. It is meant to be a wicked reflection in black depths of human nature, a miasma of loneliness and slow decay, a cold gaze towards the infinity.
