War sublimates the lycanthropic death-wave
Like dream sublimates unavowable desire
Allowing something to remain asleep
Undoing a war in a poem
The nightmare of something peeled back
Disintegration of flesh from a skull
Movement of violent disillusion
Sighing among the shadows of autumnal ashes
Inhibiting a mournful dream-image
The thorny wilderness girdles the city
From bloody steps the moon hunts
Multiplicity of wolves, a rupture
Blood, the moon, and women
Coagulated by an intense menstrual seism
Shattering the illusion of dissolution
And death

Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy?
Yes.
p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro. YomaBarr
