sashavonkarl74 Sophomore full-length of Aussie death metallers BLACK LAVA, which is also for blackened DM fans alike IMHO. The formula from the previous opus is somewhat repeated here, so don't look for a drastic change in style: great riffs, memorable guitar work, pummelling drums, but nice tempo changes to keep things flowing. I agree with @locust149, this band deserves a lot more praise!! Favorite track: Summoning Shadows.

COLOUR OF DEATH Corroded altars of stone Wreaking of ancient sin Stained with the blood Sacrifice the sinister Visions Black is the sky once more Wrapped in the colour of death Pale is the ghost Plaguing the unknown Visions Sever the fear That burns once more Rendered you blind Standing at the mouth of shadows Lost in its grip you are losing control Something that you must behold Wrapped in the colour of death Black is the sky once more

Dark Legacy 04:08
Dark Legacy Reaper Dance with me I feel your presences Consume thy dreams Embrace the coldness The dark legacy I have walked I have seen The dark legacy Straight through the heart Looking down into a void of screams I have walked I have seen Dance with me Consume my dreams The one that haunts thy dreams The one cannot be seen

Wrapped In Filth Waiting silently To spread across the land Wrapped in filth All become victims Men and kings alike It cannot be slain A diseased darkness Nameless The disease is in the darkness Led to your demise Forever living in the shadow Of misery The disease of misery Waiting for the ill Taken the defeated It must be fed The silences in the dark Those that live in fear The curser of life It cannot be slain All become victims It can’t be slain Waiting silently To spread across the land Wrapped in filth The curser of life Kingdoms will fall

Unsheathing Nightmares Speak to me O silent one Creator of graves Carver of paths Seeker of what may bleed Fiercest foe we come to take your soul Battle cries under a winter sun Forged true Blind and furious I hold the wrath Insidious Hold fast bringer of doom Blows be swift Where demons loom Unsheathing Nightmares Speak to me O silent one Creator of graves Carver of paths Seeker of what may bleed Hold fast bringer of doom Battle cries under winter sun Unsheathing Nightmares

Summoning Shadows Clawing at the skin of the night Flames howl beneath Slashing a hole in your existence Menace of your fate Summoning the firebreather The monolith Awaiting the last breath Flames draw you in Summoning Shadows Reveal the kingdom and its unholy son Bring fourth the chosen one Awaken visions as we pray to the deep Stirring storm of scales haunting within Awaken Uncoil Arise My lord Reveal the kingdom and its unholy son Bring fourth the chosen one Awaken visions as we pray to the deep Stirring storm of scales haunting within Awaken His Queens draw you in His timeless ruin Divine exile Claws strike the earth Awaken Uncoil Arise My lord

Ironclad Sarcophagus Shrine Of the fallen one Triumphant Buried in the sins of war Illuminate the hideous Echoes from the ancient hymns The crypt echoes the ancient hymns Powerful sigils burn Separate tormented minds Iron clad Sarcophagus To beckon The wizard’s crypt Shrine of the fallen ones Triumphant Buried in your sins of war The crypt echoes the ancient hymns Iron clad Sarcophagus To beckon The wizard’s crypt Shrine of the fallen ones Triumphant Buried in your sins of war Powerful sigils burn separate Tormented minds

Pagan Dust 04:46
Pagan Dust Lost in the wind they were forgotten In the breeze they have creased they have died By the corrupt by the rotten Never to see the light of day Follow the path Ancestral sky Iron will Welding their truth they are forsaken Your traditions will burn The ancient ways will be forgotten Ancestral shrines will be smashed to the ground All that you live for will be taken Suppress the heathen gods Lost in the wind they were forgotten Never to see the light of day A death like sleep A sunless deep Follow the path Ancestral sky Iron will Welding their truth they are forsaken Your traditions will burn The ancient ways will be forgotten Ancestral shines will be smashed to the ground All that you live for will be taken Suppress the heathen gods Lost in the wind they were forgotten Never to see the light of day Encircling skies With ancient lies

Sanguis Lupus Fear to tread by what was told The haunted souls of nightfall Prey upon the chosen lost Spiritual creature Tales and origins howl into the night Prowling ancient silent death Disembodied howler of your mind Feasting on the chosen slain Fear in thy Plague of nightfall A haunted wisdom bound to the creature Prey upon death Tales and origins howl into the night Feasting on the slain Fear to tread by what was told The haunted souls of nightfall Prey upon the chosen lost Spiritual creature Tales and origins howl into the night Prowling ancient silent death Disembodied howler of your mind Feasting on the chosen slain Fear in thy Plague of nightfall A haunted wisdom bound to the creature Prey upon death Tales and origins howl into the night Feasting on the slain

The Savage Winds To Wisdom Upon this road Black winds Swirl the soul I find myself All alone Self-Destruction Of the undying flame Draws you in The silents Of fate Dwindling Of hope The thousand winds Swirl the soul Undying flame Banished back to hell Back to hell Self-Destruction

about

Two years after their smoldering debut, Black Lava come roaring back on 'The Savage Winds to Wisdom'. The Aussie’s second album erupts from the same crusted cauldron of influences. Blackened countermelodies and a hex of heavy, proggy rhythms boil amidst old-school death metal, spilling over into medieval fantasies. Carved from a slithering groove and one bone-crushing riff, “Ironclad Sarcophagus” raises an ancient wizard from the crypt.
The peculiar alchemy of Black Lava pools together with the ease and fury of a mythic flood. Dan Presland also drums alongside guitarist Ben Boyle in Vipassi and Presland’s old Ne Obliviscaris bandmate Benjamin Baret pops in for an eerily screeching solo on the title track. But the band took their time in building the cavernous world that lies within ‘The Savage Winds to Wisdom’. It’s not until the opening track has bubbled to a nice and sludgy head that Rob Watkins unleashes the first of many blood-soaked roars. “Speak to me O silent one”, he beckons amidst thunderous, rain-soaked ambience.
On ‘The Savage Winds to Wisdom’, Black Lava summon a perfect storm of technical blackened death metal.
