	1.	They Let Their Roots Run Deep 07:57	lyrics
	As tall as trees do these beings stand But firmly rooted in arid soils Hardly able to sustain Anything that resembles life As no light shines through their crowns And no winds rustle their leaves They let loose their seeds To more hopeful grounds But never again, they know Will they themselves move As lost as ships in starless oceans Are these beings, navigating Through the blackness, anchorless As though on a mission Of any consequence Their anchors have not been lost, No – they have never existed Not because they are not needed, No – But because there are no harbours In which to cast them

Darkness floods the veins, dripping pain and futility. Disfigured by own existence, crawling into muds of hopelessness and emotional desolation. This is Acathexis, an overwhelmingly woeful and perfect black metal expression. Truly special in every way! Umbra Cornuta

This has got to be one of the best crafted and thought out black metal records in recent memory. It's the equivalent of staring right into the void and being sucked into it. From the distant yet oppressive cold atmospheres, to the anguished vocals, clever arrangements and a splendid drum performance, Guðveiki completely succeeds in trapping you in its sound world. It's an impressive achievement. Cosmographer

Tbh, I love Bexadde. But 2022 has been already full of this kind of music and I don't want to overdo it. So Bexadde will have to wait and for starters, this, which is also great, but differently. Simpler. YomaBarr
