Balete

In the cracks of every structure
And from crevices of their homes
Roots growing upwards
Branches reaching down
Urostigma
Deep within its wooden cathedra
Angyaw mysticism conjured
Spirit medium channeling
To bring ruin upon their world
So, Unleashed
Balete comes strangling
Twisting, as light drowns out
Their structures enveloped
Choked in a verdant fist
Oxygen deprivation
Suffocating demise
As leathery hands glossy
Around their throats entwine
Germinating epiphyte
Dispersed by Aves’ wings
Fall into new recesses
From which rises again
The green mantle of death
At the coming of the Verdant Messiah
At the onset of the Budding Dawn
The earth in floral apocalypse enraptured
Mankind’s existence imploded
Absorbed into a single elliptical leaf
To be transformed and birthed anew
Into the glorious destiny of the Plantae Kingdom

Decussate phallotaxy
Gesneriaceae
Rosulate Streptocarpus
In small hordes form
Ever growing cotyledon
Lurking in crevices below
Colonizing the rocks
Caulescent denizen
Creeping stems summon
Rhizome propagation
New hordes arise
From its thousand young
Pair-flowered cyme
Dust-like seeds
Seekers of light
Parietal placentation
Twisted fruit
Spiraling seed pod
Unifoliate monocarpia zygomorphic
Rising and falling
In singular floral glory

Botanist San Francisco, California
Post-black metal worship of the Natural world. Enter the Verdant Realm.
Botanist recommends:
Not just doom, not just black, but all of it in turns, and none of it by the numbers. Great music. Their second album is cool, too.

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski
supported by 21 fans who also own “The Hanging Gardens b-sides”
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne.
