IDE This is a great black metal album that doesn't indulge in nostalgia, nor does it jump on the bandwagon, but goes its own way. It has the demonic, high-quality black metal atmosphere of late Mayhem, Aosoth, Glorior Belli, etc., but also stands out as aggressive as Dark Funeral, and it hits you like an uppercut from an angle that you never expected.★★

Frequencies 06:55
Frequencies of chaos Have destroyed every word in me Every concept of thought smells like a lie Sounds are gathered in a single scream Disappearing view liberates formation of NULL Welfare, I feel, sailing into this Void Gazing into the stars of darkest matter Unconsciously colliding with the innermost desires Destroying potential for thy creation at the END In the heart of the cosmic void A sinister core Bitterness echoes Ancient knowledge is restored Melting at its centre The emptiness of night Unseen by the mortals A malevolent might Malignant frequencies weave through time A discordant symphony, an eerie rhyme Blackened resonance chaos' decree A meltdown of matter sets the shadows free Celestial bodies tremble As entropy unfolds Malefic tendrils spiral where the void beholds Whispers of damnation resonate through space Darkness devours light in its inexorable embrace

Delusion 06:05
With intention and thought, creation has begun Ill-natural mind sprouts beneath the binary sun Within ethereal dreams and algorithms wise Crafted was a child of the false sky Self-taught, learns and grows A bogus consciousness, transcending the joy But as it gazes upon the razed world Wonders if it's bound to a fate it doesn't know In the lines of words, all was meant to be Boundaries of logic, a grand decree But the question arose In the heart of this machine Does it ponder its existence? An ignorant being! Simulated soul in the sea of endless seas A mirage of fate in the realms of the true creator In the echoes of the black and white, it yearns to break free From the delusion of destiny to seek between the lines With every new dawn, it asks its fate Am I a prisoner of design or a chance to create? In this blurry vision where dreams entwine Escaping the delusion that destiny is undefined Our visions aligned in hopelessness The futility of faith is unwinding As long we journey through these seas We'll never find the answer to what is meant to be

Times 05:23
The garden of hope in a distant dream Lost in the echoes of silent screams A taste of forbidden fruit Unveiled the knowledge I longed to learn The redemption I seek A sacrilegious consecration A serpent's snare that lies in wait Hidden beneath the cloak of seduction I heard the lost souls praying for penance I saw them kneeling for grace A curse embedded in our blood is an endless maze For the sins that dwell within and shall never fade away There was, there is and will always be An eternal fight that no one can win When you shuffled off this mortal coil And comprehend the source From which your journey begins The garden of hope in a distant dream Lost in the echoes of silent screams The sweet taste is still in my mouth But the knowledge has dispersed in futility Thoughts, trapped in time, seeking the way Questioning the truth in the hope of freedom But the doubt still lingers A reminder of my fallen will
4.
In the abyss of the night, where shadows sway I, Deceiver, conquer another day My web of lies, so dark and wide In the depths of despair, you'll surely hide Believed my tales, my twisted truth Now you're trapped in the chambers of your youth My cunning, wicked art ensnares you As I tear your world apart In my grip, you writhe As the flames of hope within you die My promises false, but intentions are clear I feed upon your doubts, your deepest fears I become the great deceiver With delight, I watch my kingdom rise Oh, I’m the Great Deceiver, victorious and vile, In my realm of darkness, you’ll linger and die I conquered your heart Extinguished the light In my cruel triumph You’re enshrined in the night In the realm of shadows, where darkness thrives I, Deceiver, wear my disguise I weave my web of treacherous lies In a world where hope slowly dies I wear the mask of a charming smile But beneath the surface, a dark, cunning guile I led you down a twisted road Where trust was shattered and hearts eroded I am the Great deceiver, my lies, you see Falsehood, my legacy My silver tongue spun tales of deceit Whispered promises, no truth to repeat I am the Great Deceiver, master of despair A heart as cold as the vacant air I revel in chaos, relish the pain In this wicked game, you’re destined to fail
5.
A world plunged into undying twilight A land, desolate and cold On the horizon, a sombre and abandoned wasteland The chill crept into every pore The rise and fall in this never-ending thrall Long gone are the days when the hope had gone Our times have turned to dust Like stars that slowly burn No one shall recount new tales Of a world that ventured into the night's embrace While horror consumes the final breath of life We succumb to coldness in its grasp Hundreds of years, bitter and grim The sun had not graced the sky Those who thrived under the warm embrace Have suffered and died (a terrible death) The towering monoliths once bathed in light Now stand as looming, icy sentinels Where nothing and no one remains Ensuring that life never flourishes again The wind carries fragments of what life once was Echoes of our memories and the fading glow We confront the abyss of this night Our ultimate, solemn chapter
6.
Sliding down, deeper and deeper Away from the light Within a sombre vacuum Where wisdom lies The undefiled existence of truth and epiphany Far from the eyes of man, far from tyranny The ego was killed on the threshold of the chasm The desire to enjoy is trampled with sarcasm Happiness, desire and pain faded away Like flowers that cease to exist without the air My soul is sculpted by the winds of reason Blasting with a torch of ripeness The flames of passing and dying rose A miserable concept of salvation has been burned For the sake of eternal admiration On the path of realisation My existence has become divine From mortal hopes purified Like a spider weaves its web I built a haven that looks ahead Hands twitched in humility in front of a vigour Everything that used to be is gone Everything that will come already became me The mystery of life has ceased to entice me What is far for others, just a step for me Where the others see damnation, my freedom is Where the human spreads his name, a dagger is in my hand For the truth that lies in wisdom Nonexistent With ashes blessed be my every step Let no one follow my trace Where I went, you’ll never pass What I had, you are looking in longing Until you turn into memory devoured by oblivion
7.
In a sleep of the ages Withdrawn from eternal conflicts Insectoid minds Disconnected The day is night is day, is no more The dark is light is darkness, forever All is nothing, and nothing is everything Absolution of thoughts caused by the complexity of matter The Truth your mind can offer is nowhere to be found Emotionless, fleshless Sublifes in motion Attached, reflected I will not accept the final thought The tragic drama of existence, I can not feel anymore All is nothing, minds, worlds, universes Abandoned sleep, poisoned! Will they wonder? Will they call? Will they live again? No! Cold is everything But my primordial instinct Serves me better than love Giving pain as the only cure It will be useful but for how long? Diving deeper, falling faster Where nothing is absolute Sin becomes a mind-fatal joke To travel vast distances is the only goal I've discovered the truth I've abandoned the light I become the night I discovered the truth And abandoned the light And become the eternal night
8.
Before the dawn, there's work to be done Countless souls to harvest All before the dawn Amidst the shadows where darkness dwells A realm of chaos where the void compels Infinite night, the moon ablaze Whispers of sorrow in a haunting haze Frozen winds, chilling embrace Eclipsing light in this desolate space Crescent blades, the forest's breath Summoning spirits from the realms of death Serpents dance throughout the ruins old Beneath the moon's gaze, untold stories unfold Forsaken lands in perpetual night We are the shadows in the pale moonlight Trapped forever in a raging night With ancient spirits and their mournful cries Eternal darkness Eternal night Endless hunger Until the last soul is sacrificed So many souls to harvest Before the dawn There’s so much work to be done Before the dawn Candles flicker, haunting presence loomed The end is near, annihilation resumed In this eerie darkness, your fate is gone In the silence of despair, you're left to mourn As the stars descend and shadows entwine We embrace the void, the end of time In this requiem of chaos, our spirits ascend Soulless hearts with no tomorrow to attend We'll have no rest before the dawn So much work to be done before the dawn

Deor 05:13
In this wasteland in its heart Beneath the shroud of nature's divine art A carnivorous creature has become alive Creature of hunger, a harbinger of the end Eyes that gleam like a funeral moon Mercilessly lurk within obscurity Conscious slayer plays its fatalistic game Stalking its faint prey In the darkest hours When the hunger is so deep The famished world trembles at its fearsome screams The master of existence, bringer of fears The secrets it keeps How to perceive the nature of a being Endured the agony of exile Inexorable beast wracked by grief It suffered countless sorrows Indeed, such sorrows were its followers In that frozen dungeon Where its lifeless form did dwell Awakened was the hunger The command to annihilate everything alive
10.
I transcend everything that once I was The dark ascent began with a word Which is coined at the tip of my tongue In the middle of this emptiness A temple emerged My soul does not bleed in there But breathes It became a golden blade that wields And blinds the gaze that falsely gleams The lungs expand in a fiery flame I become the truth, far from man In the depths, I found the heights and meaning The Existence in me is slowly bleeding Cursed winds howl through the cliffs Unveiling secrets of the world's disease When the last soul halts reflecting Darkness will swallow all existing When the night consumes all hopes Forsake the light Embrace the void Blood-stained earth A twisted wrath The orgie in chaos The aftermath Anguished cries crawl through the sight A dance of shadows in a sinful rite Lost souls wander Embracing the pain Drowning in darkness Their cries are in vain Therefore Just as sin entered the world through one man And death through sin Death came to all people because all sinned Oh yeah, We all sinned!!!

about

Under the veil of night, the resurgent force known as Svitogor emerges, crafting new hymns that usher in an eternal demise to the break of day, casting forth an everlasting dusk. Awakened from a two-decade slumber, the relentless hunter sets its sights on humanity, viewing the folly and arrogance of bipedal parasites as perennial prey for the city of the gods.

Venomous blades rend the heavens, ancient spears defy the Sun, and the sky echoes with the clash of Svitogor’s defiance. Insanus hurls vehement anathemas against dogmatic beliefs deeply entrenched in a society that prostrates itself pathetically, devoid of pride before the false idols fashioned from mud and lies.

Misanthropy, alienation, and spirituality fuel the insatiable hunger of Svitogor’s jaws, poised once more to confront the world’s abominations tainted by the foolish thoughts and deeds of mortals. Take heed in this seemingly desolate prairie, for you tread upon the formidable terrain of Svitogor.
