The road downhill is the path of naught Soaked by the blood of failures In search of more, a trail twisted and fraught The cairns that mark the paths of old Burn in the sunlight, awaiting the cold They weigh the cost of mans resolve Scarring the mountain by baring your soul Graves adorn the sodden ground They litter the foothills Serve as a warning for those who’ve felt The breath over the mountain pass To bring you to the dark A gentle palm in shroud of light To bring you to the dark, below Trace the stone with prayer and psalm And draw their strength through faith and alms Spill the blood of earth’s divine and Soak your wounds in hallowed brine A breath over the the mountain pass To bring you down to the dark below Into the never ending night, where unseen rivers flow All you’ve ever loved has never come to pass Hold on to your fractured light and reap what you have sown May you keep your heart close The light no longer touching your skin Retreat towards the dark within

There is a dark and winding road Through this night with no end It’s carved into the ancient stone A path of despair A feast of dust for nourishment knows no form down here The flesh made prison A feeble husk with bones wrapped tight in porcelain skin A stick made fortress Frail blue supine, sink now into dream The life in you subsides, Stygian dark revived I beg now for the stars to shine upon me The warmth of setting sun I cling now to the shadows draped upon me To the thick and stale air I demand now that the stars shine above me In all their cold bright glory I detest how all the time you’d taken from me Was spent living in a dream I rise now, a pillar of smoke. Divide and spread across the land Behold my glory, kneel before me The world made obsidian grave Pale blue supine, sink now into dream The life in you subsides, Stygian dark revived

about

If you'd like to purchase the other half of the split digitally. You can do so here: rulum.bandcamp.com/album/the-occult

Two new projects have emerged from the UK underground set to make their mark on the UK black metal scene.

REIGN, from the South of England and RULUM from the North have joined forces on this split to bring forth their own unique blends of black metal. REIGN takes us on an aggressive journey with huge vocal hooks, beautiful interludes and primitive blast beats while RULUM pummels us with 4 tracks of progressive black metal inspired by 70's prog rock, utilising lush mellotron strings, vintage analog synths and fiery Hammond organ sounds.

“The Occult” clocks in at just over 45 minutes and is now available to pre order on cassette, vinyl & digital formats.
