Mahapralaya from Master's Personae by EXHUMATION

A year of vanquishing darkness is upon the enigmatic Yogyakarta-ferals EXHUMATION as they inaugurate their fourth transcendental full-length “Master’s Personae”!

With a forlorn howl of a meandering beast, the entire record breathes an animosity between atmospheric solace and Death Metal carnage impassioned by a blaze of unending fire; “Master’s Personae” is enshrouded in a sublime traversal of musical perturbance but the megalithic depths which EXHUMATION possess is undoubtedly an immutable stare into the embodiment of supreme sordid verve of Metal of Death.

A celebration for this sonic-debauchery includes a slew of guests featuring members of Possession, Impiety, Obliteration and with recording locations spread out within several countries; “Master’s Personae” was mixed by Bable Sagala at Watchtower Studio and mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door Mastering (Aura Noir, Darkthrone, Bastard Priest, Frozen Soul, etc). Cover artwork by José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal (Cult Of Fire, Dysangelium, Slægt, Whoredom Rife, etc) with additional artwork by Daniele Valeriani (Candlemass, Dark Funeral, Mayhem, etc).

Lyrics

"Mahapralaya"

I have been waiting
For Thee so long with great yearning
In the black gate I am praying
Kali Yuga is all-embracing
Man must die to be free
From the world of the unholy
The bringer of Pralaya comes
The bearer of destruction comes
Lo The Great God is dancing in aureole of fire
The divine spectacle from the all-destroyer
Blessed are the world after its destruction
Through the altar of blood emanation
O Lord feast upon me
For Thou shalt come in glory
Can you hear the thunder?
The distant wrath of Mount Doom that draws ever nearer
Here comes the nectar of Pralaya
The flower which blooms in fire
Thus let the curtain fall
Til the darkness bury them all
Toward Mahapralaya
To pierce the heart of Samsara
