about

Lethe, the river of forgetfulness that I mention on several occasions in this album, was one of the five streams of the underworld of Hades. It was said that drinking from its waters will make you forget your entire earthly life, although this gift was denied to the Phoenix in my actual song. The song's graphic in the booklet of the CD displays a fragile Phoenix whose flames get slowly extinct by rain until they are gone, like the Phoenix itself. Symbolizing hopelessness, the Omega signs in the background bind and extrude the sun.

lyrics

In the sand that runs slow through my hands
thy amber tears fall deep,
like the rain that washes away
the ashes of thy death.

Nevermore thou riseth from the ashes
for thy will has withered o' away.
And the taste from the waters of Lethe
doth not fade thy haunting memories.

Rain rinse away the pain,
of the dreams you have slain.
And the bitter truth remains,
(that) there's no truth at all herein.

And in this final sin
it end ere it doth begin
and somewhere deep within
grows cancer called chagrin.

A Phoenix' agony,
is not for all to see.
Its buried within thee,
and thine death deep in me.

Cult of a Dying Sun
by UADA

supported by 9 fans who also own “The Agony Of A Dying Phoenix”

The "Cult..." is UADA's sophomore album, and among all, the one I largely prefer. The Vocal performance, to start with, is truly outstanding, and while I really liked their debut album, this one is more varied, and overall is technically superior to anything else I've heard from UADA. Fast, aggressive, but with enchanting melodies to break in between, à la Dissection. Highly recommended! sachavonkarl74

The atmosphere on this record is amazing dark and beautiful almost spiritual at some points and crushing at others every song gave me goosebumps at some point vaguy22

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid II

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Agony Of A Dying Phoenix”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
