We pray and we pray and we pray We are blind, we are blind We pray and we pray and we pray, We are blind we are blind We pray

The Mother 09:32
A frenzied burning in our tainted hearts, the deathless light that glows, dim and still smothered with but a blink of our unseeing eyes As we stare through the blood swept windows into the starless sky We see not, but hear your call Faint, but ever clearer than the chimes of his bells We are the lambs lost in the mountains Sometimes comes the Mother sometimes the wolf Her voice draws near Through the purple mist in the West In our wigs of dried blood we pray As the dying Sun flushes its last pale streaks of light With deaf ears, I hear you With sightless eyes, I see you With wounded flesh I feel you

The Child 06:55
See the child Wounded and frail In the atrocity of birth A cage of flesh By our makers hand A dying prison The Devil’s vessel Dans le vide A tunnel of horrors The comforting nothing A silk bath of madness We pray and we pray and we pray On broken knees, with broken tongues We bleed in ecstasy and bliss
5.
in ruins and flames we march ever on through smoke and fire a madman's dance in the eyes of a fool we are blind, blind, blind oh Satan, pierce my eyes of deceit so i can see what lies beyond beyond time and space beyond the palpable lives we live and the worthless breaths we breathe beyond the cosmic horror of the tyrant in the heavens all lies untold all pages torn the seal unbroken the fire it burns Mankind trembles in fear Before a legion of horribles, hundreds in number unleashed upon all life
6.
7.
i hear the whispers of our past, the absurdity of our hearts, the once so deathless light is fading into oblivion the fire of god's love quenched by the devil's venom pouring glowing purifying showing existence in this world is not our end the snowblind and the sunburst existence in this world is not our end ribbed and vained we kill our body we writhe in vain we kill our body we die in a rosary we kill our body o, holy death! salvation!

about

The journey of the Dutch enigmatic Verwoed has been one in continuous synergy with sonic exploration and innovation. This blazing entity returns with a much-anticipated fourth release and second full-length album, an awe-inspiring and utterly immersive experience in creative profundity by the title of “The Mother”.

The past has already witnessed the virtuous way Verwoed contemplated and traveled through unfathomable aural stratospheres brimming with feeling, intensity, and a sense of visceral commitment. “The Mother” perceives the Utrecht project as taking a step further in the direction of the abyss, an epic of splendor and imposing nature, bursting with emotion in the form of striking riffs that offer an electrical pallet of eclectic, evocative, and utterly cathartic songwriting.

Aided by a superbly captured production, the sonic quality of “The Mother” is drenched in dynamics with an organic power felt in the deepest depths of the dark night of the soul. Such character is overflown through a musical tapestry that is both complex and emotionally resonant, whether by the incredibly enticing and pulsing drumming performance, driven with and by a sense of variation and symbiosis, or the fervorous sensation purveyed by the electric traits aforementioned and the passionate and brutally ardent vocals, offering a visual representation of the poignant scope contained within each track.

To be released by Wolves of Hades and Argento Records on March 29th, “The Mother” invites the listener to a mesmerizing and innermost experience, a monument to introspective realms, a prayer of blood and fire conveyed with raw momentum
