Alice M. To quote a “Sonny92” guy at RateYourMusic: “The vocals are atypical for a lot of black metal, being less shrieking screams and more like vicious barks.”

Wikimigas Quizás uno de los descubrimientos más apasionantes de este 2020, Black Metal español con letras en castellano, reconocimiento doble.
Esperando poder verlos en directo cerca. Favorite track: Péndulo de Agonía y Desdén.

Carlos Parlos (cp49) Every track on here rips and the album as a whole leaves me wanting more. Icy, cold AF yet powerful. Riff after riff, pummeling with majestyand beauty. Very reminiscent of another black metal band I'll leave unnamed as they're facing their fair share of controversy at the moment, something I haven't heard of Grimah. Favorite track: Blaze Against Grime.

YomaBarr I'm blown away. Literally. I had to lean back under the sheer force of this, and the vocalist must have been born in the seventh circle of hell.

If it's released on the third day of the year, and it's the band's debut, what will come next? From the band and in the year?

P.S. The vibe is Mgła-ish here and there but the music is their own.

Slug. My comment disappeared? Could have sworn I spoke well of this album when I bought it a few years ago. CD has seen much attention, as this beast is a go to alongside Sinmara, Lvme, and Sisyphean. Hopefully we get some new material soon! (January, 2023)

John Raw, primitive, powerful black metal. Such a beast of a listen and kicking 2020 off right!!! Favorite track: Thus Spake The Stone.

Vacuous Trip 01:34
2.
Following the trapped path by the utopian stream Following the path of the posthumous decay Dragged by a sea of contaminated entrails Overshadowed and silent is the struggle thou wait for Yearning a resurface desire Awaiting hopes, mystified and agonized! An inward yell amidst a wasteland of hate and death! They'l observe thou steps climbing the hillsides of existence towards the certain vortex The wind shall swipe the grime and the ritual blaze lit And they shall be buried and petrified bellow In blood! In ashes! The shall be buried and petrified bellow In oblivion! An inward yell amidst a wasteland of hate and death! A vacuous journey within the intricacies of bowed wisdom!
3.
The stars fall in the depths of thicket Under the feet roar the roots The soil absorbs the energy The matter is reversed and the circle closed Mysticism is the sacred night of the full moon Where the mist rises and the stone of destiny whispers She shall speak to the wind and the time shall be frozen The three fir trees sing and dance for the trip of death... the journey to death! Circle of branches and fire is shining for the totem From the magna stone the eternal cult is returned The sanctuary of time unfolds and rouses as the eagle The flames of fire reflects on the grand lake burning... the traces of the past! Let the Stone of destiny be pronounced... be pronounced! Mystical night of the sacred rite shall last until the sunrise Circle of branches and fire is inexorable shining for the totem Magical night of the ascetic rite until the pyres become ashes And the Stone of the fate shall remain in the everlasting... silence! Thus the Stone of destiny spake... proclaimed!
4.
The back on the cold rock when the mystic aura holds the spirit Draping the senses with a bright light from an unkown place Where the ephemeral chimera veils the lands Matter detach slight and ethereal Silent, perpetual and sublime Past visions shall reach their essence Raining ashes over them Rooted memories are blurred by flashing light Caressing the emptyness and the fullness Embracing the infinite cosmos! Still feeling the pulse and warmth in the veins Veiled by fractals invading the visions Unfolding the spirit through the nails Ablazed by the heart of the blossom Embracing the infinite cosmos! Dead stars shall reach the back and sleep inside the mind Perpetual and sublime Embracing the infinite cosmos!
5.
When the time and fear come The steps shall take the fate A fate with no sense An inward voice proclaimed shall possess the reflections Pulling the being... without hope! An indifference to man and things A submission to dimness A reverance to demise Venerating to nothingness When the heart is empty and faithless The void is like a mirror Where it's beheld a futile facade A shadow clawing the bowels Demise shall play its role Pulling the being... without hope! An indifference to man and things A submission to dimness A reverance to demise Venerating to nothingness Nothing to look forward to Nothing to look in the past A pale heart wandering amidst infertile steppes! Ups and downs abridged to a colorless collage Step forward to self-resignation For an awe of a barren cage Dreams of magnificence as dust shall left behind Inasmuch as the indifference has reigned in the mind! Ups and downs abridged to a hearth of extinguished ashes Perpexled and distant so far away from bellows Dreams of perpetuity as dust shall left behind Once realized an eternity was chased deaf and blind! Nothing to look forward to Nothing to look in the past A pale heart wandering amidst infertile steppes!

Vagamos sin importar si la vida es un sueño... un trágico sueño Resignarse a existir es el único fin de la vida En los lodos del mundo y la voluntad del hombre La tortuosa e incierta senda de infortunio... ¡Hacia la miserable existencia! La ascética luz es la que me ciega Me arrastra hasta desaparecer Me separa de este mundo carente... ¡De este péndulo de agonía y desdén! Abstracto y oscuro es mi cosmos En un espacio atemporal tan puro y sublime El gozo desaparece y la angustia languidece Pues... ¡la vida se halla vacía! Y mi sangre se satura de esta de esta fascinante oscuridad que aplaga los pasos mundanos hacia la vana humanidad... ¡De este péndulo de agonía y desdén! Y el mundo sera un sendero de anhelo y consciente tormento Absurda sera la energía consumida Antes de existir... ¡o después de morir!

about

Nihilistic & Triumphant Black Metal spawned from visions and reflections about ill-fated existetialism and influenced by chaotic thinking of reality in itself. An instropection from individual conscious being of perceiving the authentic depths of the world that surrounds and what it entails realize of the void from this reality.

This feeling is the strength that inspires Grimah's full-length debut ''Intricacies of Bowed Wisdom'', describing the process of the absolute meaning; of the nostalgia that sometimes emanates from deep inside; of the suffering because of incomprehension of the abstract will; of the scorn that causes this path towards death; and the mysteries that seduce the deliberations about our interpretion of the universe.
