1.
Through seven forbidden seals and seven celestial sacrifices, ghastly tongues in the dark, permeate an utterance, of seven incantations. Written upon pages seared, with the Devil's mark. As hellish litanies yield, to worlds from beyond and afield, labyrinthian secrets once concealed, all shall be revealed! Upon the sabbat of all things grim, the witches cavort in unholy din! Betwixt toll of bell and early hour, they bellow and yell, aghast in fright most dour! As hellish litanies yield, to worlds from beyond and afield, labyrinthian secrets once concealed, all shall be revealed! Beyond the veil of night, toiled in sleepless lust. Bestowed with a golden chalice, Her flashes of rust entrust, a most sacred ancient rite. I follow the path of light alight, from a shining Northern star. Whilst the spectres of might take flight, to spread their hateful blight! Hence upon the dawn of morning sight, hearken a beckoning eternal night. As hellish litanies yield, to worlds from beyond and afield, labyrinthian secrets once concealed, all shall be revealed!
2.
Across ancient boreal giants, scrying through celestial mirrors! Wrathful beasts arise, through the mist and fog. Gloating with malign purpose, I stab at the void and utter the tongue of the dead! Shape shifters phase through, the gloom and the dread. Cloaked in rapturous distinction, I beckon myself forth, through the trenches of stellar light and with a transfixed will, I shall ascend the heights of awareness! Though, try as I might, nothing seems to avail! These darkened shrines remain, shrouded in mystery. With a poignant sense of optimism, I set my bearing onward. Enriched by the cursed trail, I hear the dismal anthem. A bell is struck and I yearn for the might, to reach for the ancient sigils and to speak the hidden words of night.
3.
I gaze into the nothingness, in Dionysian ecstasy. I am nourished by the vast sea of infinity. I reach and grasp the gaping maw of Saturn. Striding among stellar zephyrs, my silver skin permeates, the acausal pathways, across the yawning gap. My flesh is seared from bone, in a cleansing white flame! Consumed by ophidian nightmares and reborn in hellish phantasm. I am swathed in the deluge, of unfathomable darkness. Feasting upon the corpses and draped in hidden ceremony. I taste blood and ash, engulfed in fire and smoke! A blistering miasma of putrefaction. Under the veil of night, my shackles are set free! A pestilent wind elevates me, to the loftiest of peaks!

about

'On April 30th internationally, The Sinister Flame is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Ifrinn, Caledonian Black Magick, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.

In 2016, the mysterious Scottish entity Ifrinn made their mark with a self-titled mini-album: a cold, swirling chasm of aural hostility and cavernous mesmerism, reflecting the ancient, bleak, and desolate landscape that the band calls home yet intertwined with the malign currents that reside beyond the veil of night.

Judiciously prizing quality over quantity, Ifrinn return with yet another release, this time titled Caledonian Black Magick. Indeed an ever-apt description of the hypnotic rhythms created by Ifrinn - and one this constellation has established since the beginning - Caledonian Black Magick is both an intensification and consolidation of its no-less-considerable predecessor. Here, the attack is sharpened to an enviable degree, finesse meeting fury headlong, as each catacomb-esque creation expands onward and outward. The vortex of sound Ifrinn create across this EP is akin to levitational hypnosis: undeniably physical in its approach, sometimes overwhelmingly so, but a paralysis of subconscious and spirit that's paradoxically liberating and intoxicating. Despite its Highland origins, Ifrinn are without geography nor era; authentic black metal orthodoxy knows no boundaries, and its windswept splendor is timeless.

Even if it's yet another five years between recordings, we are blessed and cursed to hearken the malign majesty Ifrinn invoke with Caledonian Black Magick.

Pre-orders for MLP/MCD will start one week before the release date at our shop: www.thesinisterflame.com/shop'
