1.	Atrium - Martyr of Star and Fire 09:26	lyrics
Ceaseless toil of the caged and most human To finite eternity Accursed whims of capricious flame As withering flesh to the constant immaterial To have been and to be unbeing In walls of conjecture For the effigy of the revealed Embedded be to this neuterous aether A diad to the finite air and the monad truly whole Beheld the glory of the bodyless spirit Gazing upon the one constructed and so rising To the climax of surround In cold being it resounds And so be as all and naught and naught The growing of the mastered wane The presence of the solar deities From vastness of the darkened pool Catatonic suspension aligned Respite of a bastioned want revels in the makings of the great tableau Ordained in strength Resolved to greatness The purging of the pathways with the hopes of the great cold eternal The blackened core of the eternal star Martyr of star and fire A blaze of dust To be and coalesce This infernal light Conscious unmade, unrendered Cold watcher of the unhonoured abdicant Observant of the adherent void Atop the pedestal of wisdom A shade within the myths of suspended light As dust to fabric of conscious Cyclical deaths embodied In vacuum of planar expanse Body ablaze and consumed Spirit discard and honour To be anew as one Embrightened shadows the denizens of astral flame Essence renege and to the call be heeded
2.	Orb - Shadow Memories of the Enlived amid the Deathless Aether 10:10	lyrics
Abominant vessel At call to the great magus In vestments of the bonded Motionless and sane Abominant vessel At call to the azimuth Ascend the sphere of madness All toward as borne Before them it is wrought Before them it is known Before them it is splendour upon the thrones of old Before them it is wrought Before them it is known Before them it eternally remains Far wrought before conceptual axiom Whim of Mercy Oath to severity Far wrought before An echo of delusion and the honing of the peak A chosen wilful supremacy betokened A voice unheard in the void millennia To spheres of unreason Child of the pale curse offered to the chasm In redemption of the flesh for light Infinitum O finite and undying To falter and wither like the closing of the wound Whim of Mercy Oath to severity The divinity of a forgotten god Told and elect so risen and benign Great conscient of the endless sun To be as the eternal wraith As wrath of time The essence of the gaze Through impurity Through unbeing Through the mind … … outwith the mind In fear did they dwell and so throwing off a coil of pain They became as planar force untold and as one with flame and dust belied A singular observance whole in part And did as to be done for the profane journeyman Whorl of unbeing Did ye see all their visions mapped upon the firmament before the singular observance whole and renounced for that greater glory of fire? Monumental release of flame To lead to the darkest whorl Cast aside all earthly gain Fall before the giants Affliction or affectation assumed and embraced Licking at the reaches of intricate design In confronting celestial spirit Great star beyond is beheld atop the frame and consumed As choler undying from a flickering world aloft Outwith the mind This curse be as constant immaterial Engulfed in panoptic continuance An assailment at behest of the enraptured Ascendent soul releasing to transcendent grace A whorl unwhole the body uncelestial Align the stars released among the void Great maw consume the being beheld To see the burning vision everlasting Outwith the mind In fear did they dwell and so throwing off a coil of pain And so be willed outwith the risen mind in singularity To be reborn and forgot unto the glory of the fire
3.	Oath - Dispersal of the Spectral Awning in Perpetual Flame 04:33	lyrics
(The fire to the light) All are mote before the flame and all shall be and thus released Great work of fire consume All are mote before the flame and all shall be and thus released Great work of fire consume Great arc encircle all Great arc encircle all Great arc encircle all Great arc encircle all To works of flame aeonian as to be as all To works of flame aeonian as to be as all To works of flame aeonian as to be as all To works of flame Great work of fire to light of being The tierce of flame triadic In the centre of the arc afire
4.	Adornment - Endless Syzygies of the Constant Immaterial 08:34	lyrics
And none shall know as I become as pure light To spread beyond quadratic limit Rectilinear dimensions of achromatic states To destroy so as to redefine In sentience that ode to be imbued Subsumption of the universal attainment Paean to fear and hymn to unbounded reality Before the heir infinitesimal A pure intent Impassive and sempiternal The monumental flame In comprehension of the vast profundity In finality of the novice mission, sole entity And none did know as I became as pure light And none did know as I became as pure light And none did know as I became as pure light And none did know as I became as pure light Whence somatic mastery did wane and therefore, be as fuel and so as to combust The flame beknown beyond the sphere In the shadow of the light, finite and infinite beyond the sphere Pure light - A Singular Observance Pure light - Intercessions of the sordid arc Pure light - The stars set in bronze Pure light - beneath the sheltering vapours As fire As light As shadow unbeing what is known? I am pure light and as pure light I will remain Mote and fleck transcend Soul and spirit discard O, martyr of star and fire Disintegration convergent to unbeing Offered in part for that to be as truly whole Singularity emergent To align continual Supplication for self blessed unbeing In state become, both static and endless Finite and infinite, both shade and flame A great work of fire in the shadow of the light Finite and infinite, both shade and flame

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 RJ

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
