Oh, metal. Even during the hardest days, it's the genre that's always been there. Rather than pay tribute to what metal has done for me by revisiting another song from Nightwish, Arkona or Protest The Hero, why don't we try something new? The Italian metal scene has always been a good one, and it includes Hiss From The Moat, a death-slash-black trio from Milan, and off their latest album comes "Caduceus." The caduceus may have been the staff of Hermes, but the song has something more religious to its lyrics, but religious in that strictly black metal kind of way. "Caduceus" is the dark side, where there are no lighthearted images conjured to those guitars and growling. This is fine black metal. The instrumental work reminds me a bit of Behemoth, and the growling is impeccable. It's clear and it's not too throaty, with a bit of a screech, just how I like it. First Ancient Bards, then Fleshgod Apocalypse, and now Hiss From The Moat? Be careful, Italy...I'm coming for you and your metal scene.
You've called Christ the Lamb
I am the Caduceus
Evil's against evil now
There's no light that makes the way
I am the owls of Romance Age
There's no St. Michelle arkangel
To beat the Dragon upon Hell
The Shepherd's lost his flock
Humanity sold his soul to iconography
I am wisdom that brings the end
I bring the end
I am the end
Of this shaft
Where Christians clean
Their consciousness
In blood of dead martyrs
We will be
In the sanctuary of the cursed
I will be sitting at the throne
You will be In line
For the end
Pater, ignoscis eos quod ignorant quid faciunt
Hodie in paradiso mecuti erit
Femina, ecce filius tuus!...filie,ecce mater tua!
Deo meo,deo meo cur me relinquisti?
Habeo sitim
Omina perfecta sunt
Pater,in tuis manibus spiritum meum trado
Amen
