our shackled bodies will remain rotting under piles of blood and steel, as our captors maintain their sick heavenly grim. no spirit breaks free from a tormented body. now all i feel is fear. through broken soil no life can thrive, water these crops so you'll watch them die. the cycle of pain drains much more than creates, it takes down what would matter the most in the end, so refrain from establishing this rotten crystallization of a self, striving is a waste. let life drain away. let the numbness of existence take over all your limbs and finally stop striding.
"I think about life and feel pure hate about being trapped here on this earth. Envying all deceased souls who've passed on from this ruined plane. My dormant hours are filled with fear, my waking hours I will not face. All will to life has expired"
De l'action de descendre sciemment vers le néant au constat simple, lancé dans un dernier soupir, comme si on était mis devant le fait accompli : There is no beauty left here...
Mais contre toute attente, ce chant du cygne d'Exiled from Light n'est pas une acceptation résignée de la mort. Mort (je parle de l'artiste) est animé de l'énergie du désespoir, cette énergie qui fait accomplir des choses extraordinaires quand tout est perdu et ça rend son DSBM très beau, paradoxalement. Indispensable !! Jordan Vauvert
While this album might not be anything particularly mind-blowing, it's still a good example of how DSBM should be done. I have a soft spot for this album as its seductive gloominess helped me through a certain rough patch in my life, and I believe it to be somewhat of a hidden gem. Rest in peace, Reverend John Hex.

An hidden gem in depressive black metal from 2010, unfortunately this band only put out this demo, but it’s a masterful work nonetheless.
The energetic drumming and the melodic and melancholic guitar work are the highlights of this release; everything is complemented by a good mix, where all the instruments are well balanced and not overproduced.
Vocals are also perfectly in style with the genre and well recorded.
Overrall a fantastic demo 9/10.
Ps: also a super fast shipping from the label! pifzzover01
