Based on 3 different renaissaince era hymns about the events of Good Friday. Sung in Latin, translation in parentheses.
lyrics
Gloria Dei
lucet nobis
Gloria Dei
lucet nobis
(glory of God shines upon us)
tenebris marcescat
(the darkess fades away)
Ad mortem Jesus ducitur
mens haec considera !!!!
mitis agnellus trahitur
cruenta victima, pro me et te
pro malis mundi
pro malis mundi
propter amorem
(Jesus is led to death,
consider this,
a gentle little lamb is dragged like a bloody victim
for me and you
for the evils of the world
for the evils of the world
for the sake of love)
Gloria Dei
lucet nobis
Gloria Dei
lucet nobis
(glory of God shines upon us)
vide catenas
haec pro te patitur
inter dolores, inter cruores
en pro te moritur
(look at the chains,
this one suffers for you,
in His pains, in His bleeding,
He dies for You)
per dura devia errans ovicula:
revertere! revertere!
Maria vel sancti non possunt intercedere pro nobis
ad Dominum convertere
(sheep wandering through the harsh stray paths;
return back! return back)
Maria or the (dead) saints can't intercede for us,
turn to the Lord!)
te quarens, cadit lassus
redemit crucem passus
te quarens, cadit lassus
redemit crucem passus
redemit crucem passus
(He falls down tired, looking for you ,
He has redeemed you by suffering on the cross
He falls down tired, looking for you ,
He has redeemed you by suffering on the cross
He has redeemed you by suffering on the cross)
Another gem from Northern Silence Productions, Aussie one-man act Fathomage delivers relentlessly one full-length a year since 2018. This one is again an amazing atmospheric BM extremely well-crafted composition, suffice to listen to the first 12 min of the album, i.e. the first track, to be fully immersed in a mystical Tolkien's journey... but modern, dark ambient elements make it stand out from the baseline! Highly recommended!! sachavonkarl74
The great NYC black metal group Dawnbreaker returns with another harrowing LP, where brutal riffs are trailed by eerie synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 23, 2022
Crimson Moonlight is one of the few brutal black metal bands that rival their evil counterparts Dark Funeral, Marduk, and Belphegor.
They are fast, aggressive, and hold themselves at a higher standard than many other Christian Black Metal bands. Raw and brutal yet crystal clear production. Sid
