about

The crew of a south seas merchant vessel finds The Alert, a cargo ship missing for some time, drifting, badly damaged and slowly sinking. The boarding party retrieves the captains diary and learns of the terrible fate of the crew of The Alert....
Based round 'The Call of C'thulhu' by H.P. Lovecraft. HPL is a big influence on what we do and we highly recommend you delve into his work.

lyrics

four days out of Aukland
we picked up survivors of a drifting wreck
a curious breed from the southern seas
they carried and idol of a loathsome god
deformed and wretched
peeling skin and distended eyes
pilgrims searching for a promised land
hidden beneath the waves

the old ones will rise again
their shaman uttered through ulcered lips
it was then that the fiends took arms
stormed the bridge and captured the ship
they set course for a storm
building upon the eastern horizon
and fell upon the crew
with twisted knives teeth and claws

from the waves
rise gruesome spires
siesmic effigy
from primal days

oh behold
rising from the sea
a million years of screaming terror insanity and grief
dont look to christ to save our souls
the sun has died in the leaden skies
for these are the final days

we approached an island
newly risen from the sea
upon it stood a collosal city
the kingdom of the beast
our captors, rejoicing fiends
dragged us all ashore
in a screaming frenzy
forced us to open a titanic door
from the bowels of the festering pit
we heard the tyrants call
a slithering horror
a mountain of flesh
from the darkness the nightmare crawled
stars wheeled strange bells peeld
madness a thousand ways
as we beheld the lord of R'lyeh
herald of the end of days

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Blackened funeral doom. Easier to listen to than Innsmouth because the vocals aren't nearly as fishy. tr_🇺🇦
