Aeon 05:05
What would a future life show me, A future which I won’t see, What could a past life have shown me, One which I have never seen, What could life be to me, If I set myself free, Aeon! Aeon! What is a moment ov pain to that ov a lifetime? What is a moment ov truth? Hurting. All pain Aeon! The cure to my pain is only found in slumber, Which now comes seldom unto me, I leave behind this empty shell, Dream ov another world. I free myself ov mortal toil Maybe to return to something better, I leave behind this empty shell It was many moons ago, I faded away...

Gaze upon the bleak Upon the dark lands ov yore A funeral pyre burns Into the night sky the smoke rises Calling forth our fathers ov old Bring down your wisdom Greet us this evil night Bring us your doom and might And under the new moon Black unholy night And from the dark skies, Black unholy blight A horde daemons enter the realm ov man Descending upon the righteous Descending upon the good and light Those followers both cold and true Become the warriors ov despair Become the warriors ov despair And under the new moon Black unholy night And from the dark skies, Black unholy blight

Hiraeth 05:04
Time it waits for no man, And the time is drawing near, The end takes us all away Still I think back to a time I know not ov one Where man gazed up to the sky, In reverence ov the firmament, And how I covet those days gone by I don't know why I am here All I know. I wish to not return to this world A burden is life where loneliness; a familiar companion And the lonely stars; the only guide In these last few moments, I feel joy, The realisation I control my life: Master ov Destiny! A lord ov fate! I decide how I die When I do leave this world, I Leave no grave, marker, or sepulchre, Burn my body Cast the ashes into the winds, Let me fade to the annals ov time, Forgotten in Death As I once lived. As the days gone by

Venture deep unto the wastes The fjords and ice, eternal A gale cold and ghastly Ominous and grim An opening, a mouth Depths delving 'neath the snow, and ice Ye, the very rock itself Uncover ancient runes forgot Secrets, lore, magic begot. An incantation bring about the spirits. Forth from the ice ye come Bringeth unto the world ye might Power ov frost Bind to mine will Wielding the cold Set forth unto the fire Permafrost in their veins Icy song ov the spirits. Colden the hearts Colden the loam Beget the ways Ov Nilfheim Pale cold, White apparition Begone from Mine sights I banish thee From whence ye came To the cold realms Ye go Rest eternal Pale apparition Ov Winter Solstice

Permafrost 04:28
Fall to my grasp now the empire ov prosperity Encased in darkness the harsh night falls From the rivers, From the seas Freezing the red Encasing the land Rising the towers ov ice - spilling fresh blood In a mighty great permafrost The sun sets forever… This eternal night-time Forever devoid ov life, save for me
7.
Ave Sathanas 04:04
I proclaim this the sabbat night ov the cathedral ov the black goat. Let this dwelling place be desecrated in the name ov our unholy masters. Bael Beelzebub Astaroth Asmoday By the conquering worm that hath swallowed the sun be their power mighty among us. Ave Sathanas! Ave Sathanas! Ave Sathanas! Him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye sacrifice. Forget thine allegiance, To the god ov falsehood. For the Lords ov the Underworld, To them we pledge our hearts. The morning star, We beckon you forth That you may join us In unholy communion. Ave Sathanas! We call upon your dark power So that we may reign supreme So that we may be but kings On this earthly prison.

Underworld 00:55

Signs ov black through the trees Chimes ov death are forseen Rise scent ov the earth Forth the daemon is birthed Blight for forests ov green Mist ov horror we seek. Dry, but rotten the leaves, Fire, ov blackened disease Black Magic Heresy Spirit calls, a voice to thee Falter nay or wrath beseeched Bringeth forth from underworld The magus falters, his end is brought Black Magic Heresy Death fulfills its every need Seeping out the life, it weeps Now the souls ov trees asleep, From black magic heresy
10.
Hellfire 08:57
Mighty Princes ov Sin Rain Hellfire upon thine sworn enemy Descend upon those rotten and untrue Feast on the unworthy Take us into thine arms Hold us for deliverance true Taketh me below O daemon Taketh my soul to rest The starving feed, On the flesh ov the weak. His Kingdom will not come, We are all who have done wrong. Apotheosis ov Lucifer Flames ov below rain from the sky The stone rages and cracks The ascension, devil to divine. Daemons forth are called To the kingdom ov the wicked Us, the evil ones Great legions ov beneath Rise up and wreak upon man Reap the fruits ov our sin Angelic descent Wings black out the sun Rapture, the final apocalypse. Battle, the epic reckoning The last stand ov light To the fires ov Bael below Curse unto the holy Blood weeps from open wounds The winged beasts falleth Fall to the ground and shatter Gravesend for angels The reign ov Hellfire is nigh

about

Debut album from South Wales Black Metal band.

Written under the dark moons of winter. Exploring the mysteries of worlds beyond, and the spiritual connection of the daemonic and of the solstice.

[Reviews]

- Heavy Metal Molotov - 9/10
"Definitely the best thing that they've produced so far and one of the best Black Metal albums I've heard this year."

- Musipedia of Metal - 8/10
"What Winter Solstice shows is that Black Pyre have very much moved into the upper levels of UK black metal.

Winter Solstice is a fine debut release from a band who are rapidly becoming one the most exciting outfits on the South Wales circuit.."

about

Black Pyre Cardiff, UK

Hailing from the darkest depths of the permafrost (Cardiff), and creating a demonic sound. Drawing influence from the cursed Grimoires of old and classic demonology, the early Norwegian Black Metal scene, doom metal, dark ambience and sometimes completely unrelated sources to make unique and forbidden Black Metal music.
