The Worm

Descending from nothingness
A shape coils in fire
Hopelessness withers life
My beckon soars,
Higher and higher.
Pale skin
Weary and torn
I sleep in trails of bones
Burning ashes
Feeding my wrath
The worm has awaken forever
Burning flesh
Melting bones
Spit out your ashes
I kill you all
Forever green,
Now disappeared once more.
I will destroy the lives
That took you away
My vow to destroy
A promise fulfilled
I live now among the dust
Forlorn for eternity

Hazing
Sorrow
I deny
Your face
Buried
In my mind
No feelings
No senses
Paralyzed
Somber
Darkness
Funeral pyre
To leave, abandon, and never return
Forsake your king
To rot, to die, to suffer
In solitude demise
Echoes
Soaring
In the distances
Pathway
Hiding
In twilight
Cavern
haunting
In silence
Lovers
Dying
Tormenting separate
To find
What’s left, left behind
A corpse in decay
Lamenting for those who survived
In solitude she cries
Bleed
My empty shell
And tell her, one last time
“We’ll be forever, and ever”
In another world
In another life
Blood shall reunite
Please remember,
Remember me
Don’t let my mind
Faded
In time
In thousand years
And decades from now
Until bones are dusts
And gone

Forevermore

Into the night
I wander aimlessly
Searching for a shadow
Of one who disappeared
Your taste’s still lingered here
Your blood’s still stained on my shirt
Your hand’s still warm in mine
Benighted and unrequited
I remember
That you’ve left me here
Forever
You have no excuses
You have no rights to say no
You decline me of all my choices
You left me on my own
The street is now empty again
The air is so clear again
But why i felt this pain?
Gaping bleeding in my heart again
I remember
That you’ve left me here
Forever
I remember
That you’ve left me here
Forever

Ethereal

Cosmic scheme
Our hands reach out
And touch the burning flesh
Chaotic light
Violent dance
Move closer to the end
Ascend to the void
Wallow in darkness
Unrest in numbing pain
Violet meadow
Run to the horizon
I’ll meet you there
Unrequited
Give me an answer
Are you leaving me here in longing?
You choose either love or death!
I free you from your shackle
Is this your redemption
A life in isolation? …
Never
Give me
Ethereal sanctuary
Give me
Ethereal sanctuary
Your fleeting glance
Disintegrated
This unconsummated love, i hold on too
Bow to your fate, servant of the night
In awe of your future, (dear) maiden.

Three hundred days of torture
Longing with each breath
For your embrace again
You forgot my heart
Buried deep in white cemetery
A gravestone, no flowers
As night falls again
Another departing day
Another leaf of hope withered
“I will come find you”
The promise is now broken
Leave me lamenting, in mourning
Cloak of snow
Shrouded my eyes
As I wept in silence
In the cliff of winter
My fever dream
Carry me home
Dreaming in delusion
In the cliff of winter
A plea in despair
As my soul left
Abandoned
I bargain for nothing
In the cliff of winter
A glooming sigh
As I resign my fate
No soul has ever left here
In eternal winter
The love-like whisper
“I want to be there
In paradise with you
Forever in embrace, never be apart
Release me!
Free me!
From this mortal shackles
In mountain of winter”

Elcrost Hanoi, Vietnam
Elcrost is a three piece black metal band from Hanoi, Vietnam. Our influences are Opeth, Agalloch, Ulver and Alcest. We are formed in early 2019, started out as a recording project before evolving into a full fledge band.
Elcrost recommends:
If you love Elcrost's sweeping melodic sounds, boy do we have another record for you. Vixenta's brand of post-black is melodic and ethereal as hell!

Religious Purification Through Fire
by Heathen Deity
supported by 19 fans who also own “Benighted & Unrequited”
Simple Black Metal with great atmosphere. Other than the studio version of "For the Glory of Satan" the live version really rocks! One of the rare tracks that together with "Gut the church" have burned themselves into my brain and I can't get them out anymore. Heathen Deity might be one of the most underrated BM bands of all times, delivering 2 tracks that should be on every BM playlist.

Cumbrian Black Metal
by Thy Dying Light
supported by 18 fans who also own “Benighted & Unrequited”
Dirty and raw, and full of hate. Nice.

Cathartic Black Rituals
by Nocturnal Departure
supported by 18 fans who also own “Benighted & Unrequited”
Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy? Yes. p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro.
