Tyan-Shan: Blistering white, the frost cracks his face, Knife blades of wind cut him down, Gusting in clouds, a cold death awaits, A frost-caked burial shroud, Cruel black walls, impossibly high, Rending the sky in a rift, Nothing else moves as the blizzard shifts, White claws of pain is all that exists. Terrifying peaks surround him, Black on white on grey, The path winds e’er before him, Billowing storms swallow the day. Struggle to live, yet life’s caving in, A cruel joke incised by the ice, Blind in the white, grope ever on, Black flesh crying out to die, Death stalks his path, frost slows his blood, Altitude, torment of pace, To cease is to freeze, to movement a slave, These crags are his life, these cliffs are his grave. The blizzard whirls around him, The ground drops off below his feet, Spinning, gazing into the chasm . . . . . . into the sickening vortex . . . Down! The howl draws him to his senses . . . A wolf? The wind? His mind? The horrors of war lie before him, But he may fall before the fight, To live impossible to fathom, Fathoms below this white night. Dawn, the break, that pass, it comes at last! Down, below, the armies, swell and mass! Batyr: Centuries lived out in an instant, Atrocities a function of existence, Horror, upon horror, and all an empty dream, One moment of glory, For a life of pain. Arrows like rain cleansing more, Wiping out the sickening parasites, Who shall live, and who shall die? Fighting for the tribal chief’s ideal, Inflated by dogma, lies and steel, The froth of the steed, sweat in his eyes, And if you live, what then? Filth.

Kan Zhyttangan! Pretender to the throne! Utter your poisoned speech! Hate and envy Spread like the wings of our Karga’a Oh solstice winged And like the karga’a My hoard in winter thrives Picking clean the skulls The eyes go to the guest of honour Steel beaks clash in the snow I shift the night The hero’s end Transform this clan To a widow’s den Crush your skull from behind You take a bolt to the face Leave the hero to die Revel in the disgrace Konurbai I’ll rip your fucking spine! Galaxies of eyes swirl Reflected in mine black Pitted and bloodshot The breath comes slavering We pour from above Taking Tash Rabat Paradigm from hero to oblivion

Erlik 05:59
Blood runs into the parched earth, Sunset crowns the mountain sky, The gore-soaked noose parts the victim’s neck, A blue-faced sacrifice twitched twitched and died, A pale corpse against the darkness, Ages honoured in sanguine deed, Ward off the Khan of down below, Satiate his eternal need. Tengri created me, Born of charcoal & flame, Suffocating mantle of black, Aeons I have borne this stain. In terror, blame me, The seed of Tengri. Seething creation, Subterranean wrapped. Erlik Seed of misfortune, find yourself, Cruel temptation, curse yourself, Weak resolve, watch yourself, Prey to Allah, doubt yourself, In lust & greed, steel yourself, Cowardice & pride, calm yourself, Murderous hatred, it’s yourself, All your weakness, blame yourself! For centuries I have spawned, Birth’d all nightmare . . . Filth of the underworld, Swallowed without a care. Erlik Weary, hamstrung race, How easily you all succumb While I smother you all.

Albarsty 04:22
Black hair noose lashed around her neck, Gasping, sputtering for life, Blood wells between her lips, Drowning the cry that won’t come. The child breeched, The woman screams, Ten kin hold her down Beneath the cosmic tree. Kendik ene Umai ene Bring forth the impure one Tuishtuiby Kara Bakyr She crawls through the storm Sucking all life Smothered forlorn Esurient wraith Stygian form Nightmare trespass Sickbed Sojourn! Choking the victim wakes To view this thing untold Squatting upon her chest Goggle-eyed and cold Seventy sagging tits Pendulous and black One wrapped ‘round her waist And one thrown o’er her back The maw draws back in glee And plunges in her breast Tearing out her lungs Ripping out her breath She flees with her bloody payload From the yurt Through the dark To the lake You fail the test Lust manifest Yellow temptress Leads on you on the Left Hand Path Barren empty years Dust, blood and tears Thrust through to the Threshold of all your fears Sinister smile The bitch that was shunned Vengeance incarnate Your whole life undone Spreading her legs The blood starts to run Dropping your dead children One by one, one by one, one by one!

Come Down 07:37
Crucified upon a gruesome day You’ll swear you felt it come your way Don’t try to touch it, feel our hold Forgive me if I seem too bold It’s nothing old, it’s nothing new, The pain of life is inside of you Hail to thee upon thy cloud Wrapped up in thy smoky shroud Believe you’ll enter the abyss A way to drift, you might have lived Pierce your soul and you’ll come down, Bleed through the corners of the crowd

about

Kashgar Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Throbbing, spine-snapping muses possess the shamans who fill this coven. Howling out of the Pamir Mountains, Kashgar take all souls with a sound hearkening back to the golden age of extreme metal. Fiends who love Kreator, Darkthrone, King Crimson, Slayer, Thorns and classic Metallica will find themselves entranced by the thrashing assault of the brutarians of Central Asia. All bow to Kashgar! ... more
