HESYCHIA was meant to be released on vinyl back in 2013, but DWP never payed the pressing plant. Now, four years later, DWP has disappeared and is impossible to contact. The pressing plant asked if I would like to buy all 300 vinyls and distribute them myself, and so I did. From the beginning Clavis Secretorvm wanted to pay for 100 vinyls and distribute them, but DWP never contacted them, so CS have done nothing wrong!

lyrics

Freedom Through Obedience

Caught by the earthly temptations and haunted by the
original sin. Life pulsates through the emptiness, the
emptiness created by God. No matter how I turn to Thee
I see only darkness and guilt Lord, give me a sign
I was born to serve Thee blindly!

By instinct we sin inexorably
And the gap between us is growing
By will we search Hesychia
The freedom earned through obedience

The Elder has spoken:
Thou shall find thyself beyond the material
Search for the spark. Only through prayer can
the Lord meet you. And only through self-sacrifice
thou may receive mercy and live for real

Beyond humans’ doubt the Truth must be reached
We're bound to our senses, but dream of
predetermined freedom. Within each pitiful sinner
glows a shimmering light. If thou, for once, want to live
unite thyself with the Flame - God!

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 11 fans who also own “Freedom Through Obedience”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 11 fans who also own “Freedom Through Obedience”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
