Ippocalyptica Gravenchalice are already well known for many of their admirable attributes showcased so far in their young career, but do you know for what they are not known? Fucking around, and this surprise EP proves it. Samael came out eight months ago, so to release any product of quality so shortly thereafter is either a sign of overreach or of a confident, prolific nature. Guess which is the case here? If you wanted to hear Gravenchalice at a slower tempo, you wish has been granted! Favorite track: Via Peccatum.

Via Peccatum 08:26
An ashen mound of sins pouring from my mouth Collapsing, I pray "Spare Thy blaze, concealed by veil And find me here, wailing beneath the angels, ornaments of stone Clawing the dirt, writhing with laceration Utter dejection, vile disdain Condemn me to burn in Sheol forever and ever Guilty, ashamed of all I am, worthless" Every hope and thing of peace etched in tombs beneath brown moss Wilting, rotting, preaching silence's sermons Spirits crushed Grief unrelenting Wearisome Who can fathom these depths? None Father above, One of many names Hear Your children plea to be saved And reach out with deliverance for every shallow and contrite heart Pulling into the mire of the deep where footholds are none, where dreams go numb Tongue cleaves to palate and throat is parched Horizons become as blackened lines Curling fingers to shun the light With a loathsome kiss the umbras will declare an oath "Tremble, you of little faith For these are the plans we have for you: Anathemas to harm, strongholds to ruin Traverse the paths leading astray as dread overwhelms you And throw away your every virtue and we will sanctify them into miseries Remain in the shadow of many wings raising you to malice" The sting of death, the power of sins Forging a blade to separate from the love of God Lowering heads and tragic ends where all fall short of the glory of Him Afflicted and crushed Perplexed and driven to despair Persecuted and forsaken Struck down, concluding anguish Jubilance suffers this devotion of marring Thy temple Forbidden repentance from all I commit, all I embrace: The sackcloth for skin, the ashes for hair and the smile of gritting teeth Yearning for miracles of grace They never come, so hold and heal As before, you never abandon

In Mary's heart, a thousand daggers Bring Him close to you with abounding love From wounds like sockets, divinity's blood trickles onto your skin Where it seeps into your veins in harmony A clasping of hands as Mother and Son Speak to me though no sound can leave Your mouth Pierce our hearts as your own And makes us sob right beside you for the death of your beloved Son And show us the meaning of this decease as we lay down in decay Our questions met by quietude, we come to conclude there is no other purpose than this: That all was put on this earth to adore His corpse
3.
Walk unpardoned Walk with guilt Walk with hate Through churches, abandoned Where relics of hope may haunt And angels may bury their faces for the lust of men Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought That my sin, in whole, shall be nailed to flesh to bear forevermore Oh, praise the Lord! For He is good Eli! Eli! Lama sabachthani! Jesus crying on Golgotha as persona of embedded regrets Imago Dei, ridden with Thy faults When You gaze upon me looking into void Do You remember Your personal plagues? Those things You could conjure (the wisdoms of good and evil)? Be still when You rest Your head and haste my departure Omit my existence as I pass the arches Where screams are mute of the prodigals that never returned home Heed not aromas of burning carrion nor evaporating tears from the oceans of fire They will kindle as effigies for Thy vices Amen Conviction hurts as gripping thorns Sundered via dolorosa Hallelujah! Every sound but the crackling, drowned Every feeling but caressing flame, gone And it feels as though this always was The second death is sempiternal Oh, praise the Lord! For He is good
