About:
„Call of the Sirens“ is the first song written for the album and was inspired by an encounter with a narcissistic person. Before, I had only a limited understanding of narcissism, believing it to be simply an excessive love of oneself. However, after encountering a narcissistic person, I was shocked by their ability to manipulate, lie, and hurt others with a seeming lack of empathy. It was as if this person was creating a false image of themselves, blinding others to the reality of their true nature.
The experience reminded me of the story of Odysseus, who, on his journey home, had his crew tie him to the mast of the ship as they passed through the territory of the Sirens. The rest of the crew put wax in their ears to block out the Sirens‘ song, but Odysseus was left screaming and begging to be released so that he could join the Sirens, even if it meant his own death.
This, to me, speaks to the allure of the sweet lies and false persona of a narcissist, and how easily one can be drawn in by their call.
Like Odysseus would follow the Sirens – you will follow her call!
lyrics
Call of the sirens
01:01
Words of yours so sharp they cut the air
Thy skin is shining bright like stars
A beauty full of love it seems
She walks as if she floats above the earth
01:17
You play the game of many faces
Thou sweet as honey, soft as snow
Thy express yourself in clever phrases
One follows you like moth to the glow
01:32
Darkness gathers deep within’ yourself
Anger is cutting you like blades
Thou can’t control it, thou can’t escape it
It eats you up, corrupts your mind, makes you hollow
02:07
You satisfy yourself with blood
02:14
Torn flesh of men relieve your anguish
02:22
Thus mutes the cutting hurt you feel
02:30
and silence those thou cannot manage
03:04
Darkness gathers deep within’ yourself
Anger is cutting you like blades
Thou can’t control it, thou can’t escape it
It eats you up, corrupts your mind, makes you hollow
03:34
Thine sweetened chants corrupt my mind
Thy frame is blinding me like flames
Unsighted by your honeyed cunning
I ram towards your sharpened claws
03:50
Thou feed on me until you’re full
Thou using me, just like a tool
As soon as your thirst (is) satisfied
Thou let me fall, cast me aside
04:05
Thine sweetened chants corrupt my mind
Thy frame is blinding me like flames
Unsighted by your honeyed cunning
I ram towards your sharpened claws
04:21
Thou feed on me until you’re full
Thou using me, just like a tool
As soon as your thirst (is) satisfied
Thou let me fall, cast me aside
04:40
You satisfy yourself with blood
04:48
Torn flesh of men relieve your anguish
04:55
Thus mutes the cutting hurt you feel
05:03
and silence those thou cannot manage
05:07
Thine sweetened chants corrupt my mind
Thy frame is blinding me like flames
Unsighted by your honeyed cunning
I ram towards your sharpened claws
05:22
Thou feed on me until you’re full
Thou using me, just like a tool
As soon as your thirst (is) satisfied
Thou let me fall, cast me aside
05:37
Thine sweetened chants corrupt my mind
Thy frame is blinding me like flames
Unsighted by your honeyed cunning
I ram towards your sharpened claws
05:53
Thou feed on me until you’re full
Thou using me, just like a tool
As soon as your thirst (is) satisfied
Thou let me fall, cast me aside
06:22
Beware to be bewitched by her
The words she says are cunning ones
You are just prey, for her to play
Like Odysseus would follow the Sirens

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri
