Funeral Pyre

mourner The long form suits well for Ancient Emblem. Never before did they show such convincing vatiety. And still they keep up their trademarks. Their best release yet. Favorite track: Arise from oblivion.

x0riente According to their label, AE play blackened D-Beat, but make no mistake: Their near-Sunlight sound also breathes a lot of varied oldschool Death Metal and they're fckn good at it! "Funeral Pyre" delivers 40 minutes of murky DIY excellence, simple yet effective in writing and execution, with some welcome flourishes like choral inserts and sorrowful leads. The beautiful opaque copper wax and an embossed gatefold make this a truly wholesome experience.

1.
Another symbol taken and forgotten. A sacred worship of life celebration transformed in oppression and domination, in an instrument of creation of fear in the innerself. The golden circle around the head of your god or the crown in the head of your master mean a stolen symbol of the power of the Sun. They mean nothing to me and I won´t kneel before them.
2.
Pursued, erased, crushed and unrecalled. Buried in fallacies and condemned to clandestinity. Rites and beliefs, without masters or slaves, ridiculed by the desire of power. A precious knowledge that connected us to what gave us Life and Death lost in the murk of your new gods which I negate. Your cult based on fear and ascendancy must die.
3.
Unwavering 06:15
Thousand of years through different cycles, under the ceaseless rain, covered by the cold snow and enduring the hardest wind. Unwavering standing stone, strong old symbol of determination, be my guide against this world that has to be oppossed.
4.
The paradox of the longest night meaning the end of darkness. In the shape of the Uroboros lays the truth of duality. After long time of coldness and hunger the light will prevail. Everything is cyclic and these days of subjugation will come to an end. The Winter Solstice will bring the ashes of these hollow times and we´ll feel again the link with the sacred Mother.
5.
Farewell 06:43
I don´t belong here, where the roots are rotten and life is corrupted since the first cry. I don´t belong here, where the futility devours everything that before was pure and now disowned. I deny, I turn my back and walk over the ruins of what humanity has created. Thsi is my farewell and the first step of my own path.
6.
The journey 05:59
A neverending journey that must be faced, with the eyes into the inner abyss. A path of destruction and self negation, spitting the poison swallowed since the first breath. Stone by stone tearing a temple to slavery and acceptance apart. I reject the yoke on my neck. A Universe of misery that has to be torn apart. There´s no authority but myself and Nature laws.
7.
Funeral pyre 06:18
Choosing the wood collected during the last full Moon of the year and walking into the deepness of the forest, where hides the calm. Hand in hand with the gloom, building a pyre where we will throw our chains. Funeral pyre! Where this cycle of domination will see its end. Funeral Pyre! Where burns the blindfold that covered our eyes. Funeral Pyre! Where the foundations of this senseless civilization will turn into smoke.
