Awakening 02:24
2.
Death 05:56
Death Know me now for I am coming Hear me now for I am calling Embrace my wrath for here I am To take all that is and all that shall ever be To bathe within fire To rot in cold earth for all eternity Beyond the gates of this world The lies of man reveal the path to nothing There is no face of death Until the moment of your own death Once dragged into darkness You will never exist again In this place there is no sanctuary In this tomb all is forgotten To live only in a memory This very existence in time is lost There is no colour There is no sound There are no halls There is nothing
3.
In Dark Times When the night skies flicker I'm awakened to the call Of the ones that walked before me A trusted harmony passed through the blood of old From this birth I reform and transcend as a spirits flame That is one with ash and earth Bearing honour once again Soulless faces haunting Baron lands of stone Driven for what purpose A greed to fill their own Blindly passing time False goals to achieve The goal of life is death And thus it shall be Gluttony continues to stranglehold mankind The word of strength has fallen They are broken in dark times The essence of life is lost A common breath divides Earthly bones shatter Wisdom buried in dark times Night seizes light from the skies Arise in dark times The flames entrance my mind And take me away from dark times
4.
Obey & Conform? Lies, lashing serpent tongues, poisoning lives Whilst smashing castles in the sand Escape, the fraud of false wisdom Society spirals downward To it's inevitable extinction One man - has no place, no fucking voice Until he holds a shotgun to your head Now do I have your attention? Cause once that final trigger's pulled you'll be forever fucking dead! War, far from the frontlines Nowhere to hide Behind your sacrificial pawns Suffer all through this life To serve your cause? I will not obey and conform! Awake now Break free these bonds As death awaits And it has no forgiveness
5.
Necrologies of Mankind - Veniam pro omnibus vobis- Drenched in flesh and blood Oceans boil red Hooves pound human mud Cloaked in flame, the fires burn the sky Nothing remains Death grips the reigns and rides Fear - Reality Death - Admit defeat Destroyer - At worlds end Necrologies of Mankind -Et mortem omnibus nobis- Prophecies of the mad Shall come to pass Actions beckon consequence Reality's a farce Scribe upon cold stone Carve deep to heal the pain For the blind will bleed And the chosen shall remain -Ad exortum novae diluculo- Rise to a new beginning Removed of lies and faith Believe, In truth, not what awaits Hail, With honour and free will All is not yet lost There is time for you still
6.
Vermin Cult 03:29
Vermin Cult I only speak of what I see A vermin cult plagued society With wide eyes opened shut To block out all reality Time to see, time to feel That death awaits and it is real No mortal being no living thing Needs to think beyond it's own skin Can you feel it now? Still Ignoring to believe You know it is true What you know is real Touch will fail Taste will dry Craving life That is a lie So awaken now From the dream There is no importance In the grander scheme
7.
Frozen Skin 04:47
Frozen Skin A new dawn slips away Dying further day to day To what end will it be That sets me free A new dawn fades away Awaiting death every day Gripped tightly from within The night colder with frozen skin Pass through the open gates For a glimpse of what awaits A shadowed figure or brilliant light Only hell of eternal night Painted walls of black Clawing for the cracks Solid in horror An infinite mirror
8.
Spirits 09:22
Spirits They torment me I can no longer tell if I'm awake Am I dreaming? Misplaced and forgotten in a darkened state Calling me... Dare I answer for I'll fall in shadow Blind I see... Lost within, my former self fades away Spirits form As I crave them once more Dancing on my soul Burning black extinguishing all Pulsing veins Twisted poison flitters so secretly Carry me away from here Far away... Follow me onto blackened fields Fires burn from the inside out We are the ones who are rotting here Dead within a walking shell Plagued with my own disease The cause I am the cure you're not Dance with me, spirits of old Consumed until my skin is cold Forever cold...

about

Crushing black metal from Melbourne, Australia.
Mortal is the debut album from Mordavia, a one man project by Morgue of Mar Mortuum.

impuresounds.bandcamp.com/music

Press:

Comprising 44 minutes of sombre, bleak, morbid and reasonably melodic Black Metal, ‘Mortal’ proves that you don’t need the backing of a label – big or small – to conjure good music. Better without, perhaps… If the muse is within you and the requisite passion, vision and enthusiasm are intact, then anything is possible. As DIY efforts go, this album really is pretty damn impressive and it’s one that you won’t regret seeking out.

Seeing as there’s a glut of great Black and Death Metal coming out of Australia these days, it’s hardly a surprise that ‘Mortal’ hits the spot.
