Mrtav

by Hesperian Death Horse

supported by

Mike B. Kelly Climactic, dread inducing beauty. Perfect. Favorite track: Morte (Part 4: Oltar).

Luis Luethi Hateful, bristly vocals and jarring guitars. Here is my review on doommantia.com:
www.doommantia.com/2014/08/hesperian-death-horse-mrtav.html Favorite track: Heriotza (Part 1: Kraljevi).

Ivan Duilo This one cought me by surprise. I'm Croatian and I didn't hear about HDH until I made account on Bandcamp. Really one of the best sludge/doom albums I've listened. Lyrics are fenomenal, atmosphere so gloomy, dark, haunting...10/10 definitely! Favorite track: Surm (Part 3: Oni To Nisu).

Ana Atmospheric sludge at its best. Beautiful noise coupled with evocative lyrics. Truly, music to lose oneself in...
"Dva oka slijepa, mrtva i ogromna, pogružena u paučinu što je prede sjeta, sjena, mrak i tišina. Krila prokapaše, a na njima težak, crn i prljav čađ što suklja i suče kroz željezne dimnjake..." Prekrasno. Favorite track: Surm (Part 3: Oni To Nisu).

Majbritt Levinsen From the very first skewed notes that emerges out of the calm dark atmosphere I’m caught and drowned. Lured in by the beautiful haunting callings from the depths.

Megapsychoticone This album brings this scene to mind..A lone man, filled with rage and despair, screaming at the void begging for total annihilation of everything in and around him. This is an absolutely remarkable feat of artistic expression that can rarely be achieved. I thank them for this. Favorite track: Heriotza (Part 1: Kraljevi).

1.	Heriotza (Part 1: Kraljevi) 11:09	lyrics	buy track
I swallowed my arms. These cosmonauts don't levitate. We don't need more ghosts. You can't be no ghost. Slugs are mechanisms. Swimming fascinated with arson. My broken hands do not speak. Swarming fears of erratic flames hunger you. Under the light of skinless lambs your spines crack. Horrifying slides of boredom effect. Frequency moans the next night. The next night. The exit sign is a false retribution such as sleep. Such as sleep. I'm aging in colors. I'm aging in red, black and green. I'm aging in colors. I'm aging in colors. 30 silver coins. Silent violins.
2.	Décès (Part 2: Palež) 07:26	lyrics	buy track
Oh, the tragedy! Story and plots tied in the gordian knots. Tears of agony, when the locusts and days prepare firstborns to go. Feast the blasphemy in the river of fear and the sea of glass. Stumped on elegy, covered in womb in the testicle fur. Transcend! Leap these angry bowels and extract the pheromones, grow your own crooked coward, looped tripods. And so I drowned in light and mutes are eating cold liquid glass. So bright, while seraphim falls into october sun. Slaves, obey!!! Slaves, obey!!! Slaves, obey!!! Indulge my hunger for fear in the silver spoons. Rusted knifes on a broken plate. Flirting with the mother of god and the grey mouthless wolves which disgust her. Oh, the headless cannot scream! The wind scatters early wings. Strained suspense, disfigured sense. Oh, the headless cannot scream! Transplant figures, mirrored machines. Raining mantises. Oh, the headless cannot scream!

Red swans drift off. The dendrophilia hide eyelid. To gain a parasitic twin. Son of man, fornicate with plague! These fractures come in. Different shapes and horns. Howling thru the shrines, these unholy hounds are just a pattern that lies. - Čekanje ih je isušilo. Bez pokreta, bez misli, lica su im okamenjena. Davno su legla i još im je dugo ležati. Oni to nisu. A ni sjeme im više ne klija kroz obraze. Dva oka slijepa, mrtva i ogromna, pogružena u paučinu što ju prede sjeta, sjena, mrak i tišina. Krila prokapaše, a na njima težak, crn i prljav čađ što suklja i suče kroz željezne dimnjake. Posrtaše u grdnim bolovima, dok ga ne smrvi ljudska stopa, a tragična i tvrda. Sljepci i bogalji, uvijajući se kao crvi, gmižu oko njegovih nogu, ljube mu tijelo i preklinju ga riječima muklim i užasnim. - As she laminated from limbo to delight, sun opens wide. She carves our title into mountains. Crested veins receding the divine polemics. Space receiving, order giving flier. Pulling tablecloth into wine.

It burns my halo to ashes that you're so misguided. Elders... they feed on the young ones. Masticating thyroid, covering in black robes to unveil the muck. The silence roars with plagiaristic monuments. Crown yourselves in the sewers of misbelief. Embrace His left hand path to digest. I'm laying. Now lay your hands on me. Circulate through me. Disgrace me. Wine as silence. Lifting the cross. Profound Father. Give in to sloth. YOU SHALL NEVER. On to aspects. The rotting will sway. Discouraged other. Virgin of may. YOU SHALL NEVER. They cursed entwined with storms through leaden tears, they will never see. They will never see.

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 12 fans who also own “Mrtav”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 9 fans who also own “Mrtav”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

Raw and chunky. Heartfelt. Unlike all of the over-produced black metal that could just as much be drum machines, this feels like real people playing real instruments to achieve real emotional depths and responses Barf Carcass
