MindOverFour "Caught in the Unlight" remains for me one of best American black metal releases ever, probably because it sounds more like a high-speed version of Carcass' "Heartwork" than a grim black metal album. These 5 songs demonstrate the amazing riffs and insane drumming that made "Unlight" so great. I am happy to hear new songs from this group and hope, hope, hope they keep making music. Favorite track: The Möbius Path (Numerus Bicallis!).

(with) Countless cycles of the sun Retribution was to come Along the frozen path … To unleash…the Cryo-wrath! Slowly stilling life with every falling step Banished from the warmth of life…banished to the cold Banished to the Northern plains…beyond the ice-dale hold Banished from the warmth of life…banished to the cold Banished and condemned to death…bound in geas hold The hoarfrost permeates as the one draws near …. Banished from the warmth of life…banished to the cold Banished to the Northern plains…beyond the ice-dale hold Banished from the warmth of life…banished to the cold Banished and condemned to death…bound in geas hold A tribal expulsion Under boreal gaze The austral foes approach Recruiting to their ways Allegiances sworn, upon the cryo-lex To fell the followers of light A tribal expulsion Under boreal gaze The austral foes approach Recruiting to their ways Allegiances sworn, upon the cryo-lex To fell the followers of light Destroying the sun’s grip wrapped upon the earth Loosened she falls within the night Driven to the darkest recess of inter-cosmic space Lying ice-bound in thin starlight. Destroying the sun’s grip wrapped upon the earth Loosened she falls within the night Driven to the darkest recess of inter-cosmic space Lying ice-bound in thin starlight. The glacial wrath delivered And so the lie undone… (with) Countless cycles of the sun Retribution was to come Along the frozen path … To unleash…the Cryo-wrath!

Night Hunt 04:03
Run! Silhouetted visages, align the western ridge Cloaked in starless stratum, the furtive riders sped Jaws that bite, the claws that catch the feted breath of coming death The lust that knows no end outside of time A preternatural hunger readied for the sport, predation’s path to serve as only guide Within the night… The moment nears the stones re-palmed, as slowing pull of reins to calm Steadied now atop their steeds as one to make their call Jaws that bite, the claws that catch the feted breath of coming death The lust that knows no end outside of time A preternatural hunger readied for the sport, predation’s path to serve as only guide To hunt the light! Gripped in gauntlets overhead the Cas-i-mir effect Affect the stones held fast inside as appetites are wet Mass-negating pressures build atomic bonds are wrecked sub-atomic disarray collapsing on itself Directed chaotic inflation steered toward times of light Attracting the foul intentions of “those” unknown by sight Slowly pouring forth through angles of time, lean and athirst and lead by ancient pride The symmetry now broken, the riders' goal at hand the journey brings the sport which turn brings their end Directed chaotic inflation steered toward times of light attracting the foul intentions of “those” of the Unlight and so they come... Forced from curve of time the life arrives Illuminating quanta Now quarry for the hunt Prey another night Prey upon the light.

As Trees Feel The Seasons Change So I To Day Must Pain Again Through Blackened Eyes I Watch The Passing Grains Of Eight Fall By By Northern Rites The Dawning Rays Do All But Glimpse The One Who Knows The Love Of Light Hast Died And Left Her Child To Fend For Life Alone I Rise From My Own Fall Unborn Upon This World Now Stands A Lord To All At Dusk The Shadows Fade Away With Light's Retreat To Darkened Numb The Silver Mistress Starts Her Rise And I Again Must Face The Night A Host To One And Bane To All The Times At Which I Feel Its Call Imparting Impure Spilling Life My Gauntlet Honed In Mortal Hide Hide Fools Your Thoughts Betray Your Life The Hunt Excites The Blood Which Bathes Your Flesh Upon The Tithe Upon Their Knees, The Impotent Pray Your God Has Come To Sate His Want Shepherd To Man As Lupus To Flock With Lambs The Sweetest Feast Primal Dark- Fills The Skies I Choose The One My Lusts To Try The Sucking-Sex, Now Stilled In Death While Near I Lay With Crimson Breast In My Unrest An Esoteric's Dream Of God The Crucified Have Died Through Doors Of Time My Will Revealed The Powers That Be Are Mine Eternity Reveals Itself Exposed I Transverse Time And Space Undead, Undone, Unlight Within The Vortex Pulls Me In I Outlast The Oldest Star The Greatest Range Is Now To Dust My Voice Alone To Fill The Space Resound Me All Around (I Am) The Eyes That Look Through Frozen Tombs (I Am) The Hands That Claw To Reach The Moon (I Am) The Wings That Spread Beneath The Night (I Am) The Scarlet Lust Within The Final Ebb Of Tide The Fading Light Of Stars That Died The Barren Pond Of Faith-Divine Pass Through These Feral Eyes Of Mine

Piercing primal night the cosmic rays fall into sight From eons past and yet to be Gathering…to me…as pulled…by a force unseen Tensed and twisting colors tracing life through darker times The spectral path on which I ride Chaotic…conduit…converging…on the source The source The fuel The failing ‘light’! (Light) the fire and rally forth The seven tribes have read their sign A ‘mark of providence’ emboldening bitter pride With haste they move to meet the night All light dies within the darkness All light dies without the spark to burn All light dies wherein the glory All light dies in the hyper-naught! The life is lead it feels the pull Each draws upon the other side All seven focused intent upon their will With just a blind eye toward the west All light dies within the darkness All light dies without the spark to burn All light dies wherein the glory All light dies in the hyper-naught! Retreating masses in a starless night Fleeing the field at melee’s end Engulfing all in the swathing darkness Crushed (within) by the stalwart hand! The source The fuel The failing ‘light’! And in the wake the void expands. Where life was, naught remains. The hyper soul moves ever on!
