Virulent Providence

Zachary Gillan One man Irish blackened-everything metal. Shares with Choir a remarkable ability to combine beautiful hypermelodicism and grimy, crushing heaviness. If you aren’t sold by the time the tapping lead part starts in the first song, I don’t know what to tell you. Excellent. Favorite track: Virulent Providence Part 1.

mourner Just take your best earphones, crank up the volume and let yourself be pulled into the world of Virulent Providence. It's an all-consuming maelstrom of towering bleakness and bewildering beauty. Favorite track: Virulent Providence Part 2.

Life is Bloody Pink Well… throw me in a pot of melting gold and call me Larry; how early is TOO early to make predictions for the so-called year-end-lists…?? I honestly predict that Scáth Na Déithe just made it on to mine. Tip top atmospheric blackened death, with a nice slice of doom on the side. Check it out Favorite track: Virulent Providence Part 2.

“Na prátaí dubha do dhein ár gcomharsana a scaipeadh orainn, Do chuir sa phoorhouse iad is anonn thar farraige; I Reilig an tSléibhe tá na céadta acu treascartha Is uaisle na bFflaitheas go ngabhaid a bpáirt” Wearing fatigue Pouring all to the parched soil Atrophy of enfeebled host Voiceless witness upon carve of earth Torturous suffering encompassed by terror From lifeless pit Plummet through the trepidation of the nearly dead Howl from false bottom coffins Crash upon bloated rotting mass Summon fresh miasma Send men of death Fleeing from ravenous foramen of soil Following unwilling that repulsive herald Guiding hand of starving wretch Repressed obliteration Oh guiding hand Repressed obliteration Clamour from swarming chaos Crooked shoulders of youth blistered and bleeding Hollow visions of hopeless acts Pointed hate hangs ever rusted upon spectral enforcer Endlessly piercing ruthless underling Eternal memento of cruelty The labour of the newly widowed Obscured through neglected glass Severing sinew from fingertips Silent home convulses with exertion The travail of bedside grave digging Malignant foundation of the workhouse Morbidly mirrored in burdensome toil Witness virulent providence Empty table gorged of faith Devoted consuming canvas Tá ocras ina chroí Holy only in words They pass heedless pullulating piles of stone Meekly the roofless homes While festering evidence decays at the door Teeth stained green The sickly greeting of revenant martyrdom Life consuming life in the dearth of spirit Any horror of unliving Cannot eclipse this hollow agony of prolonged dying Rancid flesh carried on broken backs A thankful plummet to the pit Suffer the consequence of rule Starved colony feeds gorged empire Repulsive herald contented and gleaming A voiceless litany of loss

No man nor beast pass meekly this place Feasting not on sight Vision cut and severed Youth, decay, age and waste Terminal grasp on fractured path Beast and man shun truth, abhorrence, dead flesh and soil Lábhraoinn na daoine báis liom Tá na screadach creathnach Ach ta an teanga álainn Imprint of anamnesis Benefaction of dolor With invigorated flesh sour indulgence for guile Suckle the futile nourishment of humiliation Bestowed power of shifting form Suffocate in disfigurement of prostrate intellect Beast hunt beast Sense torment and seek it’s emanation of essence Lowly sentinels biding time in the dark Faceless pursuer unleashed upon reft dominion Thundering horror Consuming terror Howl of hunger Howl of rage Beast flee beast Libation of slaughter and spirit Fall hopeless on bloodied stone Dying fire mirrored in panicked eyes Bewailing transgressed denature of guise The consequence of interference Wrought freely on wretchedness Beast hunt beast Forgotten and alone This scene of shivering death This blessed suffering Seated always at death’s left hand No man nor beast Pass peacefully Feast on youth Decay, age and waste “Tá na bochta so Éireann ag plé leis an ainnise, Buairt is anacair is pianta báis, Leanaí bochta ag béiceadh is ag screadadh gach maidin, Ocras fada orthu is gan dada le fáil. Ní hé Dia a cheap riamh an obair seo, Daoine bochta a chur le fuacht is le fán, Iad a chur sa phoorhouse go dubhach is glas orthu, Lánúineacha pósta is iad scartha go bás.” Lost, lifeless, longing, without you, lifeless, longing, lost
