1.
Locked in the vast immensity of the void I embrace the eternal shadow I allow it to invade my fleeting spirit Turn off the conscience To flow with the astral dust Aagh!!! Beyond the dimensional gates The arc of the covenant Between human and beast The animal wakes up to follow The ancestral instinct Cover yourself with the unquenchable flame Which lies on the timeless void
2.
Beyond the pantheon I hear the whisper Inside my thoughts That opens to That sidereal night Which conceived infinity (infinity!!) Find me, Wander in solitude To the sanctuaries of the soul Surrender to the visions Coming from past echoes (echoes!!) This drowned souls is lost in my dreams Announced by the murmur of the cosmic rain Oscillating between chaotic matter Suspended between nebulosity and clarity In the vast stealth The depths of the unknown is revealed And between the serenity of the waves The primal wisdom is released Fragmented, I get lost between The sanctuaries of the souls Consciousness expands Reverberating in eternity
3.
Overwhelming feeling of suffocation The same pain under the same blazing sun All I see is a way to nowhere And there is no strength left to return Before the harassing glare I only see the ghost of my past and the damned future I am trapped here How can I free my mind and soul together I cannot understand those words or their meaning My reality hangs on this rope How am I here? Why am I here? I just want to take my last breath!! Alone and I don't know If tomorrow will come A fateful existence I cry out to the stars that with their infinite lights mark my path I feel the blood burst as I breathe the wounds and tears that burn my existence!! I hear the branches crush, and the lament of the wind They darken my way through the threshold I fall to my knees, feeling the cold of the crystalline sea!!
4.
Deformed lands, shrouded in mist Hiding places that seal eternal shapes The solar storm rises, Bringing fire and screams Life and death Gloom and shadows Iscandescence and clarity The gods emerge, blazing from the secret flames The lands shake and tear apart Mythical entities dye a fiery sky Emanating doom and end The prophecy is fulfilled We are the sacrifice... To the new... arise!! We are the sacrifice... To the new arise... arise!! To the new arise!! The flames cease Wickeness begins to flood our skyline We no longer see the light Cornered in an eternal night!! Among those who still breathing There is only suffering and waiting To the new dawn
5.
Singularity 05:21
A point of infinite density And infinitesimal volume, In which space and time Become infinitely distorted Keeps this extenuating... destruction Syngularity!! Clandestine stars Roam the whole of cosmic simplicity Now its own gravity becomes so intense That it just keeps on squeezing all by itself
6.
Immersed in the contemplation of the heart In vigil of the sacred and ethereal Of radiant darkness Peering, the door to the cosmos Finding the flame Purifying the obscurations In an unspeakable abstract wakefulness Gathering the accumulations Of astral consciousness The beginning concentrates on the end, And the end is in the beginning Part of the unique structure The threads that reflect In mortality to sidereal splendor Purge and enter the precipice of being The flame will radiate all that is, as it is, Infinity!!
7.
Breathing between creation and destruction form and formless emerging and dissolving I am present in dreams for not being able to deal with reality as the sun died slowly in the red sky The shadow got longer and there's nowhere to go Laced with discolored veins All this pain must go away Asleep among the lush, sinking grass On a land covered in blood and tears All the pain will dissipate just like a breeze that turns smoke into shadows Wake up and escape wrapped in the feverish cloak and stop being I perceive the breeze from the erebus The ancient weeping willows warn Shatter my dreams and my conscience falls All my thoughts turn black When i try to escape I'm taken leads straight to the bottom Diving into the depths The call is heard, while that wound on the ground absorbs everything It leads to a descent into absolute silence It consumes every beat of my heart I have forgotten how far I fell Where my body was transported I am out of breath, surrounded by the vastness of the desert I smell its scent and my mind goes numb, floating as our totality collapses
8.
On a path a destiny in this realm, with an empty purpose a million eyes emptying a flickering light An eternal sleeplessness is created Silent your thoughts Balance Void Breathe in I pursue the footsteps That can't be found No one hears me now Deep in the mist that burns breathless!! Lost in an eternal silence Void Balance Breathe out Awake within eternity Being the uncreated Light in its entirety Inside the whirlwind Letting go of my worldly attachment The resonances of time invades me Blinding blazes from the depths of earth Out of mind Out of soul!!

about

CALIGARI RECORDS, in conspiracy with Raise the Dead, is proud to present the striking debut album of Chile's BLOOD OATH, Lost in Eternal Silence. CALIGARI will handle the CD and cassette tape versions while Raise the Dead will handle the vinyl version.

Formed in 2015, Chile's BLOOD OATH have been a study in patience and persistence. During their first year of existence, the band released a rehearsal recording as well as a two-song promo EP. A couple more years would follow before BLOOD OATH would release their official debut, an EP titled The Line Between. Initially, that EP would be released domestically on cassette, but later in the year did Unspeakable Axe pick it up for CD release. Here, the then-quintet displayed a brazen mastery of technical death metal, but the darkest and more barbaric extremes of such. If one could imagine Death's Human meeting Sextrash's Sexual Carnage, BLOOD OATH possessed that potential.

Alas, a hiatus ensued and their lineup pared down to a quartet, but at long last, BLOOD OATH have arrived with their full-length debut: Lost in an Eternal Silence. Evocatively displayed by its cover artwork courtesy of Daniel Hermosilla (Nox Fragor), Lost in an Eternal Silence is a clandestine plunge into sulfurous, deeply entrenched energies. Upping both the barbarism AND technical wizardry of its EP predecessor, BLOOD OATH's debut album melds mind-melted songwriting - angular, askew, but somehow surprisingly melodic - with a pitch-black atmosphere and utterly gnarly production. That latter element undeniably separates the Chileans from so many squeaky-clean contemporaries, but make no mistake that their attack is superlative in its precision; it's thankfully/uniquely wrapped in a thick-as-a-brick recording style that suggests an astute understanding of turn-of-the-'90s aesthetics. Cyclonic rhythm work guides the riffing as hauntingly bent leads dot the treacherous landscape, fretless bass eerily often taking center stage, and effects are liberally (and effectively) utilized for further diabolic drama. More than anything, Lost in an Eternal Silence fries synapses with shapeshifting yet always-linear movement, beckoning the listener down into those catacombs...and, if one is of hardy constitution, emerging enlightened.

On evidence of Lost in an Eternal Silence, BLOOD OATH are a revelation for those into the cultest ends of tech-death. Maniacs of early '90s Sadus, mid-'90s Cenotaph, or especially the works of The Chasm and Stargazer, meet your new gods!
