Cheiron, the wounded, the teacher Descendant of deified monsters We align our stars in his reflection Our beast blood raging and fatally poisoned Harnessed through fashioning insight Our offering an ever-shifting immortality To empower you, Prometheans Words, time, eyes Like swords, spears, shields For the breaking and making of worlds For the breaking and making of worlds We align our stars in his reflection We teach the art of sublimation Transforming Lernaean poison Alchemical fire From blindness and disease We align our stars in his reflection For the breaking and making of worlds We align our stars in his reflection

No distance All the heart knows is Timeless chthonic entanglement But time gasps, chasms open Howling calamities of separation The crowning of a thousand impossibilities No mastery All the myriads know is Formless and fated enstranglement But grief, grief, grief, grief, Death rising from the black ocean of being The shadow of a thousand heroic wrecks As we slip away from all grasping You cover me in a robe of words And lay us to sleep

about

A melody, a riff, a hook, composition often starts here. Layering ideas and emotions, combining melodies and collaboratively forming a story. Underneath the intricately woven structures, drums are expected to give the foundation. Follow, or create, a rhythm, respond to shifts in tempo, define or explore boundaries of song and genre. Black and doom metal are sometimes just a snare’s strike apart.

During our shows together, we knew that we shared more than just a musical connection. There’s an approach to life, a desire to create and change. The two bands recording at the same time, at one point both only owning the foundation on which all other instruments still need to be laid. What if we were to create something new on the drum track of another song? Building from the bottom up. The floor plan is there, with no idea of the building itself. The stable ground is suddenly the limiting framework within which to compose.

This new way forced the bands to work differently. Transitions that are reinterpreted. Drum fills elicit melodies. Tempo changes, which sound organic in the original context, cast themselves as stumbling blocks to be overcome. At a time where it was difficult to connect, this brought us all together. We were proud to present this at a one-off performance at Roadburn Festival 2022, thanks to Consouling here’s the physical release of this musical experiment.

about

Terzij de Horde Utrecht, Netherlands

Terzij de Horde combine an amalgam of progressive black and doom metal with a rawness reminiscent of extreme hardcore or chaotic screamo.

Terzij de Horde is Dutch for “athwart the horde”. It is a line from the poem “Einde” (ending) by legendary Dutch poet Hendrik Marsman. Marsman is an inspiration to the band, as are many other authors and philosophers in the same dark vitalistic vein.
