𖤐𖤐𖤐 Yeah, so this deserves WAY more downloads. Order up people. Underground doom or die. Favorite track: My Fading Light.

steve zodiac I wanted to say something constructive and complimentary about this surprising find in my BC feed, but my brain is weary after a long day and words are currently failing me… or maybe it’s because in this case the appeal is more in the heart than the head, which explains why I feel so “at home” here.
Either way, I’m loving this… simple as that.

P.s. those vocals - so on point!

Christopher Well done brother, you've continued what I perceive to be the most passionate release in The Gnashing's discography. Your one of my favourite underground metal bands, every release is just impeccable and not just the music even the quality in the physical cassettes is excellent. This will be the first album I get by The Gnashing that's in CD format, that's the only downside this time but it's not all doom and gloom(pun intended), maybe one day will see a proper vinyl edition, that'd be sweet. Favorite track: Traitor's Gate.

1.
Prosperity 01:04
2.
Cruel is the light and soft is the darkness upon my skin A sick rot taunts me, I can't resist / I invite it in Descending these steps, washed in void / my one true friend Once ensconced, it's too late, you can't go back My knee will bend for you
3.
Their sorrows will be multiplied Their eternal struggle will be in vain Keep them blind, it's by design Their strength shall wain Poisonous, self-destructing mentality In the guise of righteous truth Delivering nothing but sick lies The song of fools rings loud But false is it's melody Let thy words be few
4.
An altar of filth / The idle priest sighs Sanctuary no more / Never to rise Slave to filth / Gripped by wickedness A bitter victim / Drunk in pity False burdens / Carried and thrown on our shoulders No cause, no love /Just a devouring hatred For all things good and innocent
5.
My Ruin 05:20
A record of things to come Static hangs in the air Their fates are sealed They never had free will Obsession would fuel your perseverance towards that which you cannot have Devoid of meaning You would crawl over the broken bones of your loved ones Just to have a taste But it will be for nothing For nothing
6.
Perished 04:01
7.
8.
The wind howls and tears at my eyes We wait in vain for the winter to break But until that day, I'll be at the Traitor's Gate My past My home My future All lost while holding onto false hope And finally the winter breaks And I'm still at the Traitor's Gate

about

A year since The Gnashing's first full-length effort, comes Forsaken Sanctuary. A further exploration of doom, black metal and dark ambience. Features six new tracks plus a re-recording of both, "My Ruin" and "Traitor's Gate".

As always, thanks for listening.
