Crows gather
beaks glisten from my own blood
Soulfather
Entranced and cast down by The silent ghost
Soul travel
To walk amoung the dead in high realms
Crow father
Let us stare into the minds eye
His yellow eye
Om
three eyes, unseen, untold
Om
Free me from certain death
Nothing is safe
To feel is the human truth
remain in lackluster
directing in pain
the soul in awe
leave nothing
Nowhere is safe
Volition anchored down
Weary of the world
Impressions of old
wearing out
leave nothing

about
A murder of crows, a blackened swarm of liberation , if not from death. This immortality you speak of, three-horned one, gauges out the spirit’s eye. I have been wandering the astral plains and found nothing but stalemates of shapes and impressions. The evolution which I have been taught from the stumbling age onward brought me nothing but fear. It is time to start looking inward. Stare down and rise.
The murky depths of Ortega’s sound drag a darker yet more poignant carcass ashore with Crows, their latest recording. A collision of doom, sludge and noise tells a story of man looking inward and onward.
Crows will be released as a very limited cassette by Tartarus Records on April 10th, coinciding with our show at Roadburn in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
Crows is a part of our upcoming full length Sacred States, to be released by Consouling Sounds, Narshardaa Records and Tartarus Records.
