Nkotimsefuopua
Devotion, hard work, service in the name of Mephistopeles
Loyalty to the mother queen, symbols of hate shaved
on the back of Queen Mother’s servants
Nkotimsefuopua, oh great Nkotimsefuopua, hear me now!
I pray to thee, queen mother.
The eagle’s talon sunken deep in the shoulder,
Blood drawn, dripping, cardinal fluid spewing into the air
Oh great warrior of the night, let me feel your might.
Oh prinses of daylight, do not embrace me that tight!
I will not let you use me, suck all the lifeforces out of me.
Suffocate me with your sulpherous breath.
Nkotimsefuopua, oh great Nkotimsefuopua, hear me now!
I pray to thee, queen mother. Daughter of Mephistopeles.
Allegiance to the leaders. Bearers of valor.
Devotee of the endgame. Come closer. Come to me
Show your loyalty to the Mother’s queen,
daughter of Mephistopeles.

Ebenezer
Battles long and exhausting
All hope perished, confidence drained from the soul
No retreat, fight to the bitter end.
Bring forth the stone of help, the last hope, sanguineness!
Ebenezer, Ebenezer, Oh Eben-Ezer
come forth and aid in our holy crusade!
“Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises I'll begin;
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come”
The ark of the covenant will not help thee,
As I will eradicate all tribes crossing my path.
Holy battles doomed to fail.
Tackle the poisonous ideas of pietism.
Veneration of the holy stone
Ebenezer, Ebenezer, Oh Eben-Ezer
come forth and aid in our holy crusade!

Adinkra
Aphorisms handed down by tradition
From generation to generation
Putting on the mourning cloth
King of Gyaaman, defeated near Asantehene
“Aban, Aban, Aya!
I am not afraid of you,
I hold my independence!”
Sepow, Sepow, thrust the dagger through your cheeks,
Invoke a curse on the king of Gyaaman,
Sepow, Sepow, the executioner’s authority over a condemned man
Execute the man tearing through his face
Adinkra, Adinka, farewall, farewell

Een Zucht Van Verdriet
Een zucht van verdriet
Zwaar en donker
Omringt
Het ouderlijk huis
Een koude adem
Op een reeds bevroren ziel
Een gebrek aan verering
Van deze nobele geesten
Denk aan de vervlogen tijden
Een zee van tijd
Is reeds verloren gegaan
Noordse tradities en gebruiken
In het bos waar je thuishoort
Adem diep in
Het ruikt naar het bloed van een christen
Bloedzuigers op onze harten

Petrified
Aggregated nuclei
Intensified radiation
Exacerbating conditions
Microcosm-initiated
cosmic events
Necrotic tissue
rendering lifeless organisms
Morphon creatures
vanishing through autophagy
Reflection of the inner-self
reveals your true malignancy
Spirits metastasizing
through multiple chaotic dimensions
Reflection of the inner-self
reveals your true malignancy
Morphon creatures
vanishing through autophagy
Necrotic tissue
rendering lifeless organisms
Microcosm-initiated
cosmic events
Exacerbating conditions
Intensified radiation
Aggregated nuclei
Purified

Thornspawn Chalice
Emerging from the abyss of black hearts (souls)
Behold, the rise of the flaming trinity
Come forth high priests of impurity
Dwellers of the deeps of the Painking Sea
Mourners of life, yearners of death
Who fills their chalice with Thornspawn visions
Come forth high priests of impurity
Who fills their chalice with Thornspawn visions
Embrace symbols of that night without end
Glory, glory. Armageddon
Chant damnations hymns
(make) Bloodsmeared ripping love to our souls and flesh
Rape out hateful hope in Daimonion communion
-For we are draped in shadows
Until the night of the rising unholy three...

The Ancient Spells Of The Past
by Korpituli
supported by 20 fans who also own “Ikuinen Kirous”
A very promising debut that was overshadowed by the follow-up soon. But it all was already here and you could hear that only good or even great things can be expected from Korpituli.

As Infinite Shadows Of The Nightsky
by Korpituli
supported by 18 fans who also own “Ikuinen Kirous”
With this album I can't emphasize enough how important the vocals were/are for me to love it. Those clean chants are overwhelming when used. In addition to that you get diverse, well written and produced songs that will stay with you for a long time and provide you with perfectly balanced melody, darkness and a little aggression.

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10
