Key to the Abyss

by Montezuma's Revenge

supported by

Eric Extremely heavy Sludge Metal. Very similar to early Mastodon material, yet still their own music. The moments of expanded instrumentation (i.e., trumpets, violins) are very interesting and very welcome. An incredibly enthralling and interesting listen. Favorite track: Dead Frost.

Chaos Reigns 04:56
A biomass begotten to rot Swarming pigs misguided by the 2000 years old progressing migraine A dead end of generations Fresh meat bears old infections Debilitating genetic gridlock Obey and behold The warmth of black hole Submission is law Nature is the Church of Satan Cold ethics, no exceptions Removing bodies B.C. and A.D. Branded with death wish at birth No one fails a chance to witness The reign of chaos, eclipse of darkness. A piece of hope Is a shot of dope Hail to food chain Ave decay
2.
Cathartic sacrifice A manchild growing beyond size I am the one Who buried the old god Future is my great death Smashed to the ground I am a wreck of a cosmonaut Corpse of a dream Nightmare come true living life of a scream Orbit morphine Dead space within Stardust dope fiend Fleshless inner empire Transcending space and time Enlightening spasm Look up and see my shade Consuming flame The sun won’t rise again The dying breath I gave you the key To the abyss You will live through me
3.
Taking into account The sad fact that my plans for life Were crashed by conformity I found fulfillment in servitude Multiplatinum platitude Embalmed corpse I serve to you I praise your name at fast food chains A 7-time ronin Can become a good servant I fell down 7 times Now it’s the 8-th time I got up In the borderline case what I chose to choose is death
4.
Born without a face she has teeth Unable to talk she can bite Deep into the flesh of the flowering youth Hard into the bones of the rotting old Coming like the dusk into land of sunshine Sleeping beauty never felt warmth Princess of the cold desolation Angel with a heart of black snow Rejoice, evil wizards! Salute her solemn coming! Eating is the way of complete acceptance Every soul she takes finds new home Absolution through full eradication Every drop of blood will be turned to stone Every word will have a new meaning Every meaning becomes her name Ringing in the air with the crystal silence Of a lifeless seclusion They will see Black lakes, stone woods, white death

Anti-Entity 04:20
I touch my skin and feel a sudden surge of hunger My body’s trembling with the need to self-possess My heart’s recess Grown’ inside of me Anti-entity I clearly feel my every instinct points me inward I bite my veins and swim the ocean of caress My heart’s recess Sacred darkness Uber-human consciousness Eternal Absolute Guiding my route
6.
I am the man with the plan I am the one to look up to Cowardly stuck in the state Of body and mind of the week Destined to rule I obey Meant to convert I submit to Voices inside of the deep Cavity of my mind Now that I know they exist The little gods of disruption Captured inside of the cause Of breaking the spine of my will Making the strong ones defunct Robbing the great of their greatness They stole from me for far too long It’s high time my prices went home. Standing on the shoulders of giants I can barely see my own feet I can hardly make the right move One on one with my own thoughts I’m Running into walls of discord Low salary, family issues Cronic sloth, junkie neighbour Trying to make a pig out of me Exessive ideas, split personality Distorted logic, erased memories I know all their tricks oh so well! I'll erase me to destroy them
7.
Little one, don’t be afraid Where’s your mommy? Come to me, I’ll show you things Really funny Tell me: «Godfather, I'm in love with you» Don’t you know, it’s true Don’t you know there is a game They don’t play here? Satan came from Philippines In my belly Do you wanna play with my puppies? It’s much easier done when you’re on your knees Angels of light and demons of the night Let your fresh skin be my delight

Dead Frost 08:17
I am the song of a stone Fate of the frozen dirt beneath A thousand dead rats’ squeak Pressing their tales between the teeth A vessel of cold flesh Colossus locked in the dead sleep Craving for human blood A spark to light up the flame of the weak There ain’t no answers Blood is wise There’s no more questions Heart of the ice Curse of the dead frost Black mausoleum imprisons me Light of the blue torch Innocent blood can start a new spring I call the sky to burn Melting my sarcophagus Golem will walk again Black nimbus rising

about

MR have made a name for their brand in Russia by previously released singles and live shows including opening for Mastodon in Moscow. Now the band puts their pedal to the metal by releasing their debut full length "Key To The Abyss".

The album's eight-track story takes place between 2 apocalypses: the freezing cold in "Sleeping Beauty" meets the burning sheltering mayhem in "Dead Frost".

Black Ice Princess wakes from eternal slumber and brings cold death wherever she goes. Birds fall on earth, every drop of blood turns to stone, her name rings in the icy dead air and every meaning becomes her name.

The world freezes over, but a drop of fresh blood brings cold colossus to life, the Golem, who breaks free from his sub zero mausoleum and sets every inch of the earth on fire.

Between the two catastrophes, the two cold instruments in the merciless hands of mother nature, unfolds a story of a human microcosm. The story of the Key to the Abyss. The sacred knowledge of a sacrifice passed on from father to his daughter. It's the key to death and the future at the same.

The girl finds out about "The Key" from the cold depth of dead space, in which her father's body is buried and sacrifices her young heart to inhale her ancestor's wrath into the body of the cold Golem in his black mausoleum.

The same "Key" is found by the character of "Anti-Entity", which tells the story of a violent liberation of one's own spirit. Vicious craving of eternal absolute results in devouring of the person's own flesh. In cathartic enlightenment he takes a bite of his own meat and feels sanctified.
