1.
Rejected to the dark, as an acolyte to scavengers A requiem of pestilential tongues and hypnotic despair Stagnation of the mind in putrid air Their skulls linger With every breath of dust, the earth reclaims your bones A detestable grave A cessation of reverence As the past is forgotten, so the future fails Give in to abandon Die in your rage Like breathing in closed fists Contagious and grey I have succumb
2.
Through a plain of embers where memories fester Atone amongst lava fields drowning out the cosmos Hunting grounds infested with Rattlesnakes Dethroned and desolate, no stranger to famine Indignant and isolate, a trophy carved from vermin This humiliation is final Your misery completes me You will know yourselves, and find a corrupted union Existing only to rot These lacerations never heal A persistent rage From a world of fire where souls evaporate Into the night it calls, a black god of delirium Duplicitous human virus, a walking anguish Charred bones on poisoned ground, the only truth I know With time I will regenerate A corrupting vengeance on searing winds With Hell behind you, Hell awaits you As I long to rip the heart from your delusive body And now whose scalp is across my shoulders?
3.
The convergence of the weight within our sickened minds Misery and hurt is the universe, devouring sunlight I know you have longed for the end, now time has answered The cold and the ancient have spoken, from within the night When you see the orbit decay An insurrection to revere When you see that blackened star Know I have waited When you see the orbit decay An insurrection to dread When you see that blackened star Know I have waited so long The divergence between the earth and its ghost Superstitious contamination of imbecilic minds The fault of seven billion mourn wasted lives As the ground devours between its death throes The gravity of it all Declining with growth Unnatural and Undying And as I witness the mass shift and the world tremor As a cold hammer to stained glass Time and ruin, the language of absolution
4.
Tyrants yield their desolation A Goddess of starvation and dark clouds Such a luminous poison mist Hanging over bogs and graves Your existence a black abyss, a soulless vacuum Why did I suffer you? An empty shell reflecting narcissism An all too familiar drone The lamentation of the pointless Tyrannical serpentine void Fear masquerades as pride Weaponised trepidation A vacuous mind attracting the credulous Deception, Salvation Yet amongst the dying and rotting I know We are here to fucking writhe The rains breach the horizon And the birds are patient
5.
Cyclops 16:35
God like ruin to a necessary end From above the stars I have witnessed These insects eat themselves Bound in shallows and in miseries Diligence through rage and fire A crooked spine on blackened soil The chattering of rodents, such a pointless chorus Leading only to irrelevance and idiocy God like ruin to an inevitable end From below the mire I have witnessed These roaches breed in filth Bound to themselves, as scattered cancers Marching only to abandon and disgrace The naive are not silent The masked hold dominion They are no-one, and no-one has blinded me

about

There The Vultures Will Gather is an album of pure catharsis. It is an exploration of contempt, grief and isolation through the lens of Black Metal and neither claims nor tries to be anything else. Written during a period of intense personal misery and seclusion before any global pandemic; it is an expression of anguish and frustration at a society determined to drown itself in its own stupidity whilst authoritarians reap the rewards. Betrayal, depression, and rage all played their part in crafting the sound of the record, and writing it would not have been possible without these facets. There The Vultures Will Gather is the first step into the world of Black Metal for Odoacer, a step not only free from, but primarily against any fascist nonsense, yet maintaining an understanding of the effectiveness Black Metal has in paradoxically augmenting and liberating destructive emotions. There may be something that resonates within the music, there may not be; it doesn’t matter. What matters is expression, and that is all which can be found here.
