Gods made the division; Anu went up to the sky
Enlil took the earth, Far-Sighted Enki bars the seas
From their flesh and blood they created humankind
For slavery they took part, unpredictable right
Come let us carry, counsellor of the gods
Create humankind, reflection of the gods
Gods slaughtered Aw-Ilu, who had the inspiration,
Nintu mixed clay with his flesh and her blood
A failed genesis perfected in mind
Fragments of a god was not enough
Atra Hasis was up to task,
Gods gathered like flies around the sacrifice
Let the heralds proclaim and let them shout
Seven are they now, Emissaries of Sky-God
Seven rituals, seven rites, (Seven) hexes
Seven chants whispers of ill winds
Like the wildest screaming
And the winds have howled
And there was no sun
Yansın Evren!
A failed genesis perfected in mind
Fragments of a god was not enough
Atra Hasis was up to task,
Gods gathered like flies around the sacrifice
Let the heralds proclaim and let them shout
Seven are they now, Emissaries of Sky-God

Unforeseen outcome of your actions,
A part of an enigmatic co-existence
We've reached a new perspective in the scheme of things,
Blinded eyes are opened
Divine perfection in cosmic knowledge,
Neglected consciousness leads to deprivation
This burden getting too much I can’t carry
Reflections of your mind lead my insanity
Thoughts gone astray where brilliance engulfed me
Such advanced knowledge of your art was my prize
When I lifted my eyes there were two divine
Could not stare they knew me yet they wear the faces of man
Their fragments were sparkling like burnished brass
They mesmerize, pitch black darkness surround me
Thoughts gone astray where brilliance engulfed me
Such advanced knowledge of your art was my prize
Chaos, Cosmos, Siderus, Divinus

Desolation
03:25
|
|||
|
Walked the remnants of this dead land
Desolated soil burnt under thousand suns
I killed my kin they lay on the ground
Fires burning throughout their bodies
Now learn, I am just one, this endless path
Absence of remorse crowned with thousand sins
Absence of remorse, embrace the pain
Fires burning throughout my body
Now learn, I am just one, this endless path
Walked the remnants of this dead land
Desolation of our memories lies like naked trees

We are Descending

We are Descending
Perils of our creative mind obligations of our existence
Lead us several times to an inevitable end
Beyond the sparkles of a dying planet sky is in flames
Now we are descending from pitch black skies like golden stars
Unknown desolation of our memories lies unknown like naked trees
Guide us through the endless darkness. Embrace a new slave kind,
On earth our new asylum Seventh design to give form
Fires burning, sorrow’s reigning, Sky is on fire
Now we are descending from pitch black skies like golden stars
Unknown desolation of our memories lies unknown like naked trees
Sky is on fire Sky is in flames, Consume where still there is life
Bow down before your gods!

Obsession of the Mad
04:27
|

|
I’ve broken the Chaldean Covenant
By seeking power walk among the demons
Fear for my flesh but don’t fear for my soul
Renaissance of the future is here
Fill up your glass for life soon it will pass
Sanity lost in a break of a glass
I come with memories, seeking the knowledge
Will of a simple man, obsession of the mad
O Kakos Theos,
O Kakos Daimon
O Daimon
Wisdom conjures fire, soon we will unite Better crippled in body than corrupted in mind
I come with memories, seeking the knowledge
Will of a simple man, obsession of the mad
The old once were, the old ones are, the old ones shall be Will of a simple man, obsession of the mad
O Kakos Theos
O Kakos Daimon
O Kakos Theos

Steps of Immortality
04:34
|

There is something more
In the blood when I touch it, it makes no sense
Hurts my spine to know the truth that
Rituals are written in blood
Rising against world for the life of the flesh
Which leads the procession
At the steps of Immortality heed the words of your deities
Cleansing your thoughts from murder, ease yourself with joy
Lead me to this place where death cries and sours
Tying my eyes without regret
Deeper, cut my throat or I'll seek vengeance
Inside this mortal frame I’ve served more than enough for you
Embrace the blade my blood will lead you to lore
From ripping and ruining mortals for divine intellect
As a symbol of life blood lost its meaning
At the steps of Immortality heed the words of your deities
Cleansing your thoughts from murder, ease yourself with joy
Leads me to this place, I die
There is something more
In the blood when I touch it, it makes no sense
Hurts my spine to know the truth that
Rituals are written in blood
Steps of Immortality
Gods are mad!

Evil Incarnate
04:32
|

Follow me if you have perseverance
Follow me if you have the will
I'm beyond the time your mind can't attain
Follow me, no question if you dare
Kill the boy, no mercy, sorrowful and mazed
Killed a pure soul without retaliation
So deplorable filled with wonder
When your eyes are blinded and your mind is clouded
Come beyond space and time, see with your heart
Thus, the evil incarnate
Haven't I told you, you wouldn't bear?
Haven't I told you, you would fail?
Build the walls and walk away
Your sight is clouded, now I bid thee farewell
Who is more unjust than the one who invents a lie?
Thou had wandered the land, seeking for the truth
Thou art given the chance only to have it lost, set sail

Cosmology Divine
07:26
|

Like steel crushed to the stone
My memories crushed to my soul
Sparks lit the sky as I was searching for a light,
Show me a way which is divine
Your truth crosses my mind,
Every word you said is another lie
Universe does not explain enough
Show me a way which is divine
Architectural visuality dwelled in dimensions
Connected to space and time
Beyond the arch, prophet of cosmology
Lies with wisdom, yet not satisfied with knowledge
Longing for giving answers, sending puzzles
Inside our minds we are chased in an endless maze
Try to break the logical symmetry,
Endless questions revealed one by one
A burning comet crowning the arc,
Trying to finish all for eternity
From single atom to deadly stars,
From carbon to living beings
Evolving endlessly
Like steel crushed to the stone
My memories crushed to my soul
Sparks lit the sky as I was searching for a light,
Show me a way which is divine
In cosmic knowledge…

Khepra Istanbul, Turkey
Khepra is pushing the limits of extreme metal with mixture of symphonic and ethnical influences, pushing the limits of sanitiy with synthesis of eastern and western hymns.

It seems like this band can do no wrong. Maybe not as immediately memorable as Moongod, but still a top notch slab of melodic death, and "Sun Shield" is their best song yet!

Hungarian melodic black metal, with a gloomy atmosphere yet so enchanting melodies, with amazing guitar work. The artist(s) define the band as minimalistic but the mastering and production leave nothing behind, making this album sounding just perfectly arranged. The cover art and the band logo are killer too !!
