As The Flame Withers

by YOTH IRIA

Faith As The Flame Withers took me a while to get. It may come across as a little more Doomy/Sludgy than I'd typically like in my metal; that said it's still a beautifully dark and sinister performance perfect for those quieter nights with an excellent array of captivating tracks and an absolutely bewitching vocal performance. YOTH IRIA really knows what they're doing.

bmurator This is a unique mix of Black Metal & heavy Doom with perhaps a little Gothic Metal thrown in. I am not sure why I took so long to get this. Almost an entire year has gone by where my little ears have missed out on this treat! Yoth Iria are undeniable masters at this genre & I love every song! Highly recommended!!! Favorite track: The Great Hunter.

pinkytheent Wow, what a huge record! Rarely do music and cover art match so perfectly. This music really evokes the Greco-ancient subject matter: within the walls of this record, Mediterranean fire cults and Hellenic mysteries and infernal princes abound. I feel truly transported to being one of the supplicants on the cover, invoking my black-winged lord and the melodies follow the rising of a form out of the chasm. Great work! Favorite track: Tyrants.

(chorus) The Great Hunter in the sky roaming the fields of Ares the Giant from the Netherland spreading the cult of Fire The enigma of the Zodiac and the celestial spheres weaved in the symbols of the lore The mantle of the Archer Semiramis enchantress Scarlet mistress of Nimrod the Apochryphal Trinity completed with Tammuz An inverse universe appears a world of ash and brimstone where darkness copulate with light and matter seeks the spirit The crimson Dove dissolves into the ethereal pool setting the stars in motion revising the Creation Release the Hellequin the black masked emissary to gather all the wretched souls under the wings of the Black Prince Unveil the Secrets of Heaven with the furious impetus of Hell by the forbidden sorcery of the Babylonian King

Yoth Iria 05:40
For aeons he laid dormant speaking through dreams conspiring in visions watching from his Throne Arch-Priest and King of the Seven Hells The Highest of Angels the Brightest of them all He who calms and tenders the souls of the exiled ones He who feeds wisdom into the minds of men He who ignites the passion which make the hearts suffer He who breeds violence war, chaos and revenge He who was ignored He who was denied He who was deceived He who was condemned Rise Lord of the Depths your Name is praised your Gospel speaks the Truth your Legions await you (chorus) The Lord is ascending The Prince is aflame He who brings the light emerging from the Darkness

The sacred language of the Gods Dialect of the Daemons Code of the Fether and the Claw The Parlance of the world beyond Granted to us by Mercury the cunning and wise Hermes passing the lore of the Arcane to brothers of the Temple The hawk, the eagle and the crane and the majestic peacock speaking in higher forms of thought a language once forgotten (chorus) Hermetic Code Celestial and Infernal The Silver Tongue Apocryphal Communion A complex occult formula uniting alchemy and magic Keeping the secret of Hiram hidden from the unworthy Symbols and sounds carved in stone geometry of the Ancients The pillars of Eschaton the Shrine of the Grand Builder We speak the language of the birds and we connect the Lei lines We speak the language of the Green and we diverge the Cosmos

The Mantis 07:19
Feverish visions and dreams Bonds of spiritual matter Connections with the elements A Nexus between worlds I feel the sorrows of the dead I sense the anger of the Gods I see the horrors from beyond and taste the demons' hatred War, Disease and Death Four Knights will sweep the lands Four Disciples of the Ram The Reign of the Morning Star The Fool will lead the herd astray the Priestess will deceive them the Emperor will feed on blood until the Devil owns them The Oracle will be fullfilled I've read the bones of Osiris I've felt the heart of the Unborn and drunk the Serpent's poison (chorus) May the Gods have mercy for the times that will come The Empire of the Fallen One will devour the Sun
5.
From the desserts of Saturn and the depths of the Abyss the General of Chaos the Devourerof Souls He who mates with the Night he who transforms Amaunet the ancient Hidden One into Primordial Evil The chants of the devout have opened the Eye they have aligned the Triangle and fortified the Circle (chorus) Mother of all Evil have mercy on our souls Destroyer of worlds Baptize us in your blood Oh Great Amun procreator of the Serpent defiler of the Dead Foul Prince of Sin Venom falls like rain Bile springs from the earth Lakes of brimstone Rivers of acid fire The glory of the Profane bonds Time,Space and Void as the tears of the Angels dissolve into Erebos
6.
In nothingness, before the aeon started I watched darkness embracing the light As one they were in universe uncharted Then came I, in weakness and with might The fool, the mad, the wise and the brave The witch, the lover, the virgin and a star All of them keep dancing to their grave Then come again as travelers from afar (chorus) Unborn, undead, eternal Life’s a speck of everything and a bond Unborn, undead, eternal Birth after death is here, coming from beyond I am a cosmos I blossom and I wither My father’s name is War and Need is my mother I cannot enter twice the same river Fate is my character, my ethos and no other As I stand still and hear the vacuum’s whisper The face of emptiness keeps staring at me I am the crop and time is the reaper And this I the reason to be and not to be I see the child again holding a crown in its hand The light that burns out in its shine He is the Sun and Moon the Water and the Land He is the One the Evil and Benign

Tyrants 04:50
They are Nine like the circles of Hell They are All like ether in the fog They crawl and form in the shadows they dwell They harness dreams and strangle souls They know the truth and preach the Lie They are blind but through the Worm they see They breath sulfur and forge pain They feast on tears and desolation Infernal Dukes breeders of sorrow They move the sun they light the moon they keep their blood in sacred vaults They weave the web of Darkness.... Tyrants Vultures of the worlds beyond Tyrants Masters of the Crismson Whore
8.
The shrine of my nightmares my soul' s pact with the One Lord of Profanities Wake me up to your reality By the Horns of Baphomet to the dark bleeding hearts of those once cursed of those once scorned (chorus) Black weddings I plunge into the abyss Frater Tenebris there is nothing that God left The sceptre of Nineveh abounded by the wonder and the glory of our King I sacrifice the Lamb As above so below forever the same renounce the Crown of Thorns and ride into godhood Have faith in Lucifer And delight in his love Have faith in Satan He is true to the end

about

Yoth Iria is a massive comeback from the duet, which developed and pioneered the underground scene back in the day: Jim Mutilator and The Magus.

Jim Mutilator (bass) was the first bassist and a founding member of the Greek black metal band Rotting Christ. He appears on both Rotting Christ’s Thy Mighty Contract and Varathron’s His Majesty at the Swamp, two of Hellenic black metal’s most recognised and defining albums.

The Magus (vocals) is a Greek musician (bass, keys & vocals) and producer. He formed Necromantia in 1989 together with Baron Blood (RIP), one of the most influential and avantgarde bands of the scene. His musical projects and collaborations involved: Rotting Christ, Thou Art Lord, N.A.O.S., Diabolos Rising, Raism among others. He is credited for shaping the ”Hellenic sound” of black and death metal.
