In the depth of the Winternight
I see flickers of the true world
In hope to hear the singing of the spirits
I’m standing in the Twilight Forest, swathed with snow, for hours
My thoughts rise up
When I stand on the ground covered by the white frost
I’m waiting for the Midwinter
For the time, when the edge between the dimensions is so frail
Having got the hand through the air
You can sense its waving
Drowned hands in the waves
You can feel breathing of the spirits
It’s snowing harder and harder
The strings between the worlds are stronger
You may just hold them
To feel the truth of what is happening
To realize the fault of the world in whole measure
To throw away senseless human prejudices
Oh, mighty Winternight
Take me to your embrace
It’s hard to see the surrounding reality
Oh, Night of the raging winds
Help the others to open the eyes, to rise from the knees
Give me the power to take up the blade of frosty flame
For the fight with trust of one

This is a more dynamic effort from Totalitarian as compared to the impressive debut album, almost always operating at a breakneck pace and navigating constantly between the worlds of black and death metal with effortless flair. At the risk of making too crude a generalisation, on this album Totalitarian sounds like a more melodic Antaeus with clearer production, with touches of later Sargeist, but the effect is largely similar: you will be obliterated by this relentless assault, and you will e Ippocalyptica

Great as fuck. BURZUM's intensity, ALCEST-like progressions and WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM's meditative approach blended into some different kind of brew. tongueless
