lyrics

as if we weren't already trying to compensate
the ruin we brought upon others.
as if we weren't convinced that our lives
bear nothing more than this carnal prison.

great god of grief. a light drifting to me.
release the grip. before you bare my shame.
this was condemned to fail.
this was already mapped out.
grave consequence adorned with doubt.

as if we weren’t considering our cruelties
pulling the flesh towards putrid sin
as if we weren't residing in the depths
where great beasts sleep carrying our misdeeds

great god of grief. a light drifting to me.
release the grip. before you bare my shame.
this was condemned to fail.
this was already mapped out.
grave consequence adorned with doubt.

now i see that we are excellent in our ferociousness

blinded with our own defects.
still they are conspicuous like lightning in stormlit nights.
wearily wandering the sombre path to avert the burning sun

of haunting the hearts of the worthless.
of dwelling on lost memories
of waiting for the silence
of repelling the unalterable truth
of that there is no doubt that we are the greatest disappointment
that ever has shone upon this world.

All That Has Never Been True
by ULTHA

supported by 81 fans who also own “Great God Of Grief”

One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy. stevstemac

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 63 fans who also own “Great God Of Grief”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Menschenmühle
by Kanonenfieber

supported by 63 fans who also own “Great God Of Grief”

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
