A black and haunted relic stands among these peaks
A tale of utter horror and curious mystique
Those who sleep around it sleep seldom ever more
I must set out to find it investigate its dreadful lore
Something is crawling out this hellish gate
Sacrifices for its hunger to sate
Something out of legend and of myth
And sits atop the black stone monolith
Like rabid spectres they danced, naked and profane
Shadows were cast around, they must have gone insane
Another sacrifice, such a gruesome sight
Horrid bonfire light cast on this solstice night
Something is crawling out this hellish gate
Sacrifices for its hunger to sate
Something out of legend and of myth
And sits atop the black stone monolith

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
