Demiurge

by Pneuma Hagion

/
1.
Tyranny 02:42
Carve my sigils into the sacrificial victim The stars align, my vision is restored Now cut the throat of the offering in my name Now behold my altar of steaming blood Come to me with the beating hearts of sacrificial victims The stars align, my vision is restored Bring to me the severed heads of those destined to die for my glory
2.
The unbroken line of hidden priests Working in darkness throughout the ages Anoint my sigil with the blood Unleash the horrors hiding in acausal flames Speak aloud the forbidden names Priests of my cult Stain thy robes with blood Priests of my cult Keep these fires burning
3.
Yaldabaoth 02:34
After ten thousand years bound in this sunken temple Imprisoned beneath the seas The chains that bound me have finally shattered In ancient days I came down from the stars And now I rise again to crush this world into submission And the earth itself shall tremble And mountains shall become sea floor And the oceans shall touch the sky
4.
Deathcrowned 03:01
Tremble before me Fear to speak my name It was to me that your ancestors were sacrificed It was for me that they were bound and strangled Long have I slumbered, but now I am called again It was for me that men were drowned in the bogs It was for me that the victims were tortured And now you will worship me Walk in fear of my archons Bring me the heads of the sacrificial victims It was I who fashioned the chains that bind you all It was I who set time in motion I who set fire to the darkness And now you will worship me
5.
Mortals, hear my call from beyond Servants, bring the offering to my altar Soak my effigy in blood Life must perish, death must reign And send the souls of the slain to me Now the time has come to slit the throat of the offering Mortals, speak the cursed names Worshippers, gather in my bloodstained temples
6.
Portals 03:38
For my glory thousands were strangled In my name kingdoms burned to ashes In my name the priests of my cult have gathered To bring darkness and chaos At last beneath the black moon they gather To open the portals between worlds At last the gates to the other side have opened I return to smash this world into submission At last beneath the black moon they gather To open the portals between worlds
7.
Holy Silence 03:00
For so long we have waited Gazing through the veil of dimensions Dreaming of the void and kliffotic spheres The stars shall reveal the time of our arrival We shall pierce the flesh of the cosmos No more shall we slumber We cast our gaze across the stars Ageless and eternal Prepare the altars in our shrines
8.
Come to me my faithful And offer your veneration I have tasted the blood of your offerings Rising from unknowable silence Now cut the throat of the sacrifice Come to me my faithful Soaked in steaming blood Slit the throat Cut out the still-beating heart Eternally I watch over my worshippers
9.
For an eternity I was bound Dreaming in darkness Untouched by time Now I'm reborn in this flesh once again

ANTI-GOTH 583

PNEUMA HAGION returns to the cursed material realm with their second full-length treatise DEMIURGE. A thematically coherent work, this offering explores the Gnostic idea of the Demiurge. According to Gnostic mythos, this malevolent deity takes the name Yaldabaoth and imprisons man in an inherently corrupt terrestrial world. While Gnostic symbolism is heavily employed, PNEUMA HAGION avoid dogmatic reiterations and instead use the Gnostic cosmology as a metaphor for man’s struggle against the incarnate, corporeal misery of his earthly existence. Heavy low-end frequencies throb through this audial void, evoking a thick ferocity that brings to mind INCANTATION and mid-era MORBID ANGEL. PNEUMA HAGION’s proprietor R is joined on this recording by drummer Shane Elwell, whose precise work primes a bleak canvas for R’s guttural, deliberately intoned vocal performance. Literate, apocalyptic, and heavy to a disturbing degree, DEMIURGE is a standout release of 2022.
