warchrist30 How could I not love this? Inventive, surprising, catchy and other praising adjectives. At times it's almost blackened Carcass. Favorite track: Misanthropic.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Very interesting blackened death metal with a twist of thrash and centered around a conceptual mythology you don't see so often in metal.

The dybbuk is both being and place, an abyss that inhabits a specter. Enthralled in a ceaseless cycle of destruction and decay, it cleaves souls from bodies, self-cannibalizes the possessed, and falls back into itself, dragging the damned within.

Abysmal being, away from sanctum A butcher of stolen memories Lips sewn tight to silence the lies Quiescent in paralyzing misery We drag the damned Through blackened rain Empty eyes glow In the light of the moon To end this wretched horror We surrender a lost soul To release the vile spirit We sacrifice the possessed Bound by blood (Bound by blood) As you kneel before me (As you kneel before us) Skin its flesh, remove the organs (Crack the ribs, remove the organs) Bones to dust, flesh to flames (Burn the flesh) Black ashes to the wind Murderous fate, inherited death Unhallowed sacrifice Torn away from life (Demonic, Demonic, Demonic) Demonic hands guide your spirit through the rain Expel the fiend Release the curse Banish the beast End the torment Hexes sung toward the sky Ancient spells, unholy hymns Brings the conjuration to culmination To suffer endless pain is your fate for eternity

As a mist inhaled through its lungs, I seep into the marrow. Forming spectral attachments to the body, I write damnation in its blood. Through weak flesh and mind I enter, forever erasing any hope. I consume this angry bitter soul, and bite through the silver cord. POSSESS-ATTACH-CONSUME-SEVER. Shivering souls licking unholy wounds, lost in darkness, trapped within me. Searching for empyrean firmament, wandering without light forever. I encase myself in the flesh, seizing control of the body. Breaking the anima paradigm, one withering spirit at a time. IMPRISON-CONTROL-DESTROY-REPEAT. SLASHING, STABBING, BURNING, THRASHING, CLAWING, CHEWING, ROTTING CARCASS. Body after body, ingesting their remains. Soul after soul, absorbing their vitality. Never to escape endless damnation written within their cursed blood.

Abyss 05:11
Clawing through charred walls, souls are trampled. With every movement they disintegrate , becoming one with my abyss. I ingest the lost souls. They aimlessly wander my endless chambers. Their senses converge. Ravenous darkness, blindingly starved. Each consumes the ashen smoke of the fragmented damned. Decaying sentient particles, becoming one with my walls, clawed through by ethereal hands. I search the tangled skein, untying knotted lives. Unfinished souls in life’s tapestry, forgotten threads without destinies. Brutalizing life as I defile flesh to embody and cannibalize. An undetected flaw in the filament. I lick a silver cord and I tie the snare, ending pathetic and unlived moments. The soul, a noose to the unaware. Within the framework of divine constructs, I see the decay. Every consumed soul, each stolen life, an act of reprisal. Immortality, a mockery of divinity. Beyond amaranthine embrace, a wicked, pathetic being. Stolen lives within such delicate encasements. Energy to take from decomposing meat. Tissues die from within; micro-tears breaking down. Disgusting putrid being: I rot as I breathe but death does not come slow. A weak child lost in the dark without a pulse. My cold fingers rip through the skin. People shriek at my state. A trail of gore down its back. Freeing the self-butchered marionette from the silver knot that binds it.

Misanthropic 04:38
Cancer cleanses the purity from its body: systematic purging Demonic code activated through ancient scripts: disease infecting disease Terminating all fighting against my design Writhing in violent and painful creation Twisting a sovereign insubstantial being Against its own will, it will break for me This impermanent cage of meat, blood, and bones Manufacturing inhuman wicked forms Flesh amalgamates into my abyss Ashes of the damned flowing through my veins Ominous transmissions in its blood The internal torment of perdition No sign of resistance is found The marrow chooses the great evil within Under daemonic control See through the bleeding eyes Spiritual dereliction, your soul burns Incantations whispered towards the sky Your time has come (Your time has come) Converse with the audient void within Your time has come
6.
Screaming from within my veins Ancient voices, they demand —Cut yourself, release us from your marrow— With their devices I inscribe spectral designs: carved archaic markings upon the flesh A scripture radiating from my bones Guide the shards of stone, Spectral lines guide my hands Penetrating to the soul ageless symbols Release the spirits through pathetic tissue Rupture from my skin Disintegrate my spirit my soul turns to dust As it leaves my body Voices scream from my veins A thousand souls drip to the ground Every drop brings me closer to the abyss Open wounds glowing bright Soul penetrates the flesh Multitudes of painful cries flow through my garnet fluid Æeons of suffering; an eternity sacrificed As I release the iridescent inner self Penetrating to the soul, ageless symbols Release the spirits through pathetic tissue Open wounds glowing bright Soul penetrating the flesh Multitudes of painful cries flow through my garnet fluid Æeons of suffering; an eternity sacrificed as I release the iridescent inner self

Recycled 03:52
Remain as ash in the air Inhaled, fill me as I filled you Injected into veins, deep in my blood stream (Injected into veins, deep in my blood stream) Bring me to my (End)

about

In Jewish mysticism, Dybbuks are malevolent entities, comparable to the demons of Christian mythology. Some believe dybbuks are the disembodied souls of people who had committed such great sins (like suicide) that either their souls were denied the ability to transmigrate (thus remaining on earth) or had escaped Gehenna (a place of punishment often equated to the Christian notion of hell). Once possessed, a Dybbuk remains in its victim's body until either it is exorcised, or after the completion of some self-serving task (including a repetition of the sin for which the spirit is punished). Dybbuks are thought to be attracted to people who have developed some form of psychological or spiritual alienation, or people who might have similar moral tendencies toward certain sinful activities.

The Moirai of Greek mythology were three sisters (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos) who personified fate. These sisters would measure, “spin,” and cut threads that reflected (or were consubstantial with) a person's life.

In this album, Jewish and Greek myth come together with elements of strange horror and weird fiction. The Dybbuk is more than a lost soul; it is the amalgamation of an endless supply of lost souls. Originally the spirit of the first being who took pleasure in their own self-slaughter, the Dybbuk is both entity and place, housing an abyss of perpetual suffering and damnation within itself. It eternally searches Fates’ tapestries to find any imperfection in its threads, any gap signaling a moment of spiritual dereliction. Once found, it follows the thread to a moment of weakness in its victim's life at which point the victim's destiny may be disrupted. Once it has a hold, it relentlessly works toward its goal: the destruction of the victim’s body and the consumption of their soul.
