2019 is like a library holding the darkest blast in
secret with its gushing screams in the language of black metal.
“Every time we walked through the garden we spoke of
being its guardians, never its owners, because (as with all gardens) the place
felt possessed by an independent spirit which the ancients called numinous”
Just like Alberto Manguel says above, Black Metal
Chronicles is a garden in Helvete when you clash various astonishing opuses
sinister, elusive and perverted where we are wandering as guardians who
eternize them while being lured by its numinous spirits.
Just imagine these stellar black metal opuses (with 1 precious exemption) from 2009 screaming blue murder in their disruptive lyrics, 10 years old now, but sinister enough to be each self-inflicted 30 bullets
wound to the head, dedicated to A.!

Destroy After Reading
"Black covered words on pages, these files are kept for ages
Who's taking so much precaution, who's making new versions
Revolving doors keep turning, some heads will be rolling
Never underestimate when it's right in your face
...
No time remaining, destroy after reading"
Infini is the final Voivod album to feature Piggy's contributions.

Destroy something after reading!
