Baphe Metis


Black Majesty is an occult black metal band from Norway, formed in 2005, this is his first demo "Baphe Metis" from 2007. Entirely shrouded in darkness, under a veil of death and the sigils thereof, everything offered forth on this album is the quintessence of evil in atmosphere. The psychological haunt of the sounds featured here is reminiscent of that familiar nostalgia received from watching an evocative horror film of an utterly dark aesthetic preference. Thematically Black Majesty deals purely with black magick and sorcery, if it were up to my choosing more black metal bands would align themselves within this form of lyrical content, this is black metal as Satanic ritual. This is lo-fi demonic manifestation, I'll leave you with the lyrics to track two;

"Flesh Altar Unfold, Before the horned portrait, Lit by a single black candle, Through a floating haze, Of incense, Hail Baphomet!, Let the human cranium, Which lieth before me, Serve me as a chalice, To drink the arousing wines, My altar has to offer, Hail Satan! I am thy church!"
