Five hundred years has gone since I summoned thee, I learnt all thy lore and made everyone worship me.
The Picatrix of Dee, which thou didst give to me, made me grow tentacles and helped me conquer eternity.
The Black Keyes of R'lyeh and Cthulhu arise, bring about your glory and our imminent demise,
The Black Keyes of yore rising from the sea, give me true power as promised by Johnny Dee!
Now thou art dead, yet I live forevermore. I became the shoggoth-master and Deep Ones hold me in awe.
'Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest', Paracelsus stands by my side because I resurrected him.
The Black Keyes of R'lyeh and Cthulhu arise, bring about your glory and our imminent demise,
The Black Keyes of yore rising from the sea, give me true power as promised by Johnny Dee!
'O spiritus Itnaal et Cthulhu! Accipite sacrificium ut nihil contra me et contra clavem nigrem valeat sera ubi ista clavis ponetur.'
The Black Keyes of R'lyeh and Cthulhu arise!
'Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest'.

Persona Mortuae Cutis

'Yog-Sothoth est clavis portaque'
Cum primis digitis cutem mulceo; bladus carnis mortuae frigidaeque mihi placet
Imagines provocatives, fili delicati, odos placitus in face Lunae
Salta cum mortuis in mei somnis, aures praebe clamoribus cavatis
Mortui animam meam ceperunt; temptamen curam perdiderunt
Risus simplices lumina psychotica eludant, amitte totam curam animae
Ratio de-clinat, lumina vociva creationes capiunt
Salta cum mortuis in mei somnis, aures praebe clamoribus cavatis
Mortui animam meam ceperunt; temptamen curam perdiderunt
Cum primis digitis cutem mulceo; bladus carnis mortuae caldae rationes pacificat
Membri incisi me ornant, cutem ante me adulor
Salta cum mortuis in mei somnis, aures praebe clamoribus cavatis
Mortui animam meam ceperunt; temptamen curam perdiderunt
Salta!
'Yog-Sothoth est clavis portaque'.

Ääni tuulen, varjot puiden
Yksinäni uneksin, haltioissa ylenin
Öinen rauha, pilvien like
Lensin yli metsien, keralla pilvien
Sammasta kiipesin kannelle taivaan
Salot siniset, kammiot kultaiset
Juoksimme taivaan niityillä läpi tähtitarhain
Ikimenneiden ilmoilta, kadonneiden kartanoilta
Varman viisauden tapasin, elon kullan löysin
Sammasta laskeuduin kannelta taivaan.

The Weird of Vipunen

Through the land of Tuonela, I make my journey
To solve the mysteries of the grave, my heart's violent yearning.
The noisome welkin oozes down raining sour bile
Like a worm-eaten face full moon shines on bright.
Interrment is the end of pain, escape from life's nauseous flame.
Across a field of mouldy grass I ride post and fast
On a reindeer mummified with the witch-drum last.
Heading for a citadel built from howling bones,
Filling this heaving night with dark insane moans.
Interrment is the end of pain, escape from life's nauseous flame.
Approaching the castle gate I see its keeper
He is the Blind Ape of Fate, ancestor of the Reaper.
Hailing from a nearby lake, a monstrous fleshy arrow
Aimed at our pallid world to kill us in our barrow.
Internet is the end of pain, escape from life's nameless fane.

Transcend Humanity

Abandon dualism and Indoeuropean ways
The world isn't black and white, only shades of grey.
Recognize the herd mentality in your thought processes
Deaden those drives stemming from biology.
Reality is a lie maintained by the Enemy who has written history to its liking.
You've been surrounded by propaganda
Signs of the decline of Western culture.
The revolting cult of the Nailed God is still alive and sick,
fitting for the necrotic human rats flaunting their deformities.
The Enemy has by its actions wilfully become subhuman
You'll purge society by abolishing it.
Storm the Enemy's offices and paint the walls with its blood.
Its teeth and veins make for nice necklaces and its intestines delicious sausages.
Familiarize yourself with different weapon systems
Both physical and psychic, exoteric and esoteric.
The unexpected strike is the most devastating one.
Remember to maintain secrecy in everything you do.
We exist in a reality which we can explain rationally yet cannot understand;
Into this world we are thrown.
Don't follow any rules, including these.

Reaching Azathoth

"That last amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity - the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes." -H.P. Lovecraft

Aarni Oulu, Finland
Aarni has of course always existed, but the current incarnation's story began in the autumn of 1998 e.v. when M.·.M.·.
suddenly began solitarily developing his vague musical ideas further. He got telepathetic messages from the unicorn dolphin elder of Sirius B, who begged M.·.M.·. to reawaken the ancient Xothian aural technology tradition called 'aarni'.
Soon other dodgy entities joined him. Grok?

The Thule Grimoires
by The Ruins Of Beverast
supported by 5 fans who also own “Double Demo [remaster 2010]”
Trying to follow up a masterpiece of an album is a daunting task for any artist. How does Meilenwald respond? Doing what he always does. He takes his sound in a new approach, adding gothic and even some light death metal elements. While always maintaing his perfect atmosphere, TTG is the first album since UTS that is more song focused vs the focus on a album wide concept. He perfects his songwriting, ending up with some of his best moments and being his tightest written album. 4.5/5

Don't Walk On The Mass Graves (split w. Mourning Beloveth)
by The Ruins Of Beverast
supported by 4 fans who also own “Double Demo [remaster 2010]”
The inverted riff of "Silhouettes of Death's Grace" could go on for eternity. But when "Mourning Beloveth" hits, it makes you go straight back through their catalog. The clean vocals make everything go away. The new album cannot come fast enough...
