Jordan Vauvert Même les plus braves peuvent être frappés par le doute : la musique devient alors le nouveau guide, la catharsis salutaire. One Thousand Years Of The Wolf, seconde démo de Kommodus, est aussi belliqueux que la première. Si elle a été composée pendant une période d'angoisse et d'instabilité mentale, Lepidus Plague, au lieu de serrer les dents, hurle à gorge déployée ("Beyond Hadrian's Wall" est phénoménal pour ça). Les riffs sont impitoyables et ne concède pas de terrain. Bref mais excellent ! Favorite track: Purging Thy Hibernian Blood.

Nightmare.Moon Possibly my favorite modern black metal band. No release is lacking and especially not on this EP. Riffs filled with raw power and battle prowess. If war had a soundtrack this would be it. Favorite track: Conquering The Carpathians.

eh Consistency is tricky water for most but Kommodus swims like a well-oiled otter. The cover is awesome too. Buy all his shit! Favorite track: Twilight Forest Apparition.

Ash-covered Ghoul The artist's intent was to inspire, and inspire he does. This is perfect music for night walks, when the mind soars free and explores it's own heights and depths. Favorite track: Conquering The Carpathians.

kimbongchillin Vicious bellum Romanum style aural war! Hail The Infernal Emperor! Favorite track: Beyond Hadrian's Wall.

darkenedspirit (Midgard_OBM) I prefer this second release to the first, always so raw but more diversified. Vocals has not changed and are very aggressive, some acoustic passages well appreciated and the dirt is at his essor. Otherwise, nice artwork and the cover of Bathory is sick. Favorite track: The Rite Of Darkness (Bathory).

*Sentencing thy enemy to vicious torture and violent demise* I’d rather see Elysium in flames Before I extended you with mercy Cowering, whimpering, under my fucking boot Savour the torture at hand, because afterwards... You’ll be discarded, in the catacombs where rats reign You’ll discover your perdition, in the catacombs where rats reign Every pound of flesh beaten and gouged Every sinew ripped and lacerated Every inch of skin flayed and fed to beasts All of this pain you must endure… Before you’re tossed, in the catacombs where rats reign Before you suffer, in the catacombs where rats reign And you will rot, in the catacombs where rats reign And you will be forgotten, in the catacombs where rats reign Yellow eyes and teeth pierce the cold, wet, dark They flock and scurry towards you Suffocated by an army of plague-wielding vermin You screams echo to no one Cries of pain only urge them on This is both their kingdom and your tomb

*Rome’s war in Dacia* Strength and Honour! The sigil of the wolf and banner of the eagle, the golden standard reigns We are the unyielding force of progress, submit or perish in vain Through forest and thorn and mountain we march, until we cross the northern bank And there at the shadow of the iron gates we fight, flank by flank And we conquer, conquer the Carpathians And we war, war for Emperor Trajan We spill blood at the foot of the mountains, cleaving limb from limb This soil we fight upon in our sights, since Rome’s first would-be king Causalities are many, our enemy relentless in the Transylvanian mist But our victory is secured, the Dacian’s crushed by our mighty Roman fist We stamped out the dragon, we crushed its jaws and severed its tongues The serpent is not match for the wolf, the battle fought and the lupine won Now restoring the finance of Rome with Transylvanian gold Our imperial presence felt in the region ‘til our Empire turns old

*An ancient evil lurking beyond the wall* The barrier stands erected in the fog, the frontier ends here But what lays beyond the wall? Tall tales and myths are recounted Legends of apparitions far from human, and beasts reserved for nightmares Nothing from man’s imagination can compare to what lurks beyond Not even stars dare shine, beyond the wall Not even gods dare tread, beyond the wall Soldiers disappear from their posts, foreign prints lead into the expanse Faint screams and echoes of pain ring out from somewhere in the black Something scrapes at the boundary, longing, moaning in the dead of night The wall wasn’t built for a border, but as a marker for where we shouldn’t wander Men have other enemies than just each other, a primitive evil hungers, beyond the wall And even the strongest of wolves, are like lambs in its jaws, beyond the wall An ancient predator, a creature with many names stalks its prey, beyond the wall An eternal malevolence reaps and razes and will never expire, beyond the wall

*Purging the human remnant / half in thy self to ascend as complete werewolf. A dark lupine emperor* Carving across my flesh with a jagged obsidian blade My ancestors observe as stone simulacra Veins, like the roots of a weed, must be severed Weeping sanguine impurity under the black star Kneeling upon the altar I expunge all that is weak within The ritual concludes as I drain my Hibernian half I stand atop my terrace now, the full moon drawn like a bow I ascend as unspoiled lupine, as a king under the black star As Emperor Have the Trumpets blow, to the let the kingdoms know That I’ve been purged, and with my imperial half merged

about

Demonstration II. Goatowarex.

'One Thousand Years Of The Wolf' was recorded in the dry, infernal summer of MMXVIII amidst constant mental anguish and instability.

It is my supreme hope that the black metal which comprises this release inspires the listener. These songs are intended to ignite a flame deep within, a flame that harkens back to the old world, to establish a connection with your ancestors. To have you feel inspired by the blood in your veins, the blood of those who have conquered with strength and honour, those who have contested the very same conquerors with bravery and resilience, those who have lived and fought and died during a time when our species was true to itself. When pride, discipline, and an adamantine-will, were code necessary for survival. Now is an augmented era of ephemeral information, instant accessibility and empty gratification, and false curated reflections. There exists a seemingly constant stream of bias, slander, and fickle rhetoric that is only pandered to and encouraged. It is imperative to reflect on what we were, and the potential of what we can still be. We can be carved out of marble like our heroes erected as monuments and admired in museums. We can be iron. We can be wolves. We just need to look inwards.
