To you, Great Unnamable
The sign of the Black Stars
and the Sigil of toad-shaped Tsathoggua
The summit of knowledge is to know nothing
and the reward of sin is life
Thus we travel to the stars

Arise, slimy things made of dust; bring forth your knowledge to the Earth!
Voices of wonder, vomit out scorpions' heads.
Move and appear, descend; apply yourselves to us!
Come, appear to the terror of the Earth and to our wrath.
Arise, say I, and appear!
The rotten, arise!
Include us as receivers of the everlasting flowers of unspeakable pleasure.
The works of Man and his pomp, let them be defaced!
The horns of death, arise!
Whose wings are living lamps and seething diamonds.
The fay host
Doing what Christ did in Hell
The fay host
Come forth, Tahaoeloj, and bring down the Eastern Watchtower with wind
Come forth, Ohoooahaatan, and burn the Southern Watchtower with flame
Come forth, Thahebyobeeatan, and sink the Western Watchtower with water
Come forth, Thahaaotahe, and destroy the Northern Watchtower with earthquake
The fay host
Thunders
The fay host

Humans, humans, what do you know of me?
Of the Titan's pain, of the eternal thirst of the giant
Of the smart of the waves, of the panting of sea's billowing hero?
I disturb the waters, I paddle the ocean
Thirst eternal burns in my breast
I drink forever, forever for my thirst
Never ceases my heart's fire
I open my jaws, I swallow waves
They dry as they enter my throat
I pursue maidens, flowers of the waves
They die entering my breast
I rouse up a storm, I drink land and sea
And the planks of a wrecked ship
Golds, pearls, also human blood
And the bosoms of young maidens
The eternal suction of my soul never stops
Never wets my crimson tongue.
On strange moonlit August nights
I rise my weary head
I fix my glowing green eyes
Onto a glimmering star
Spies the star
I, giant, stare
Soon I will overcome that one on high
Falls the golden sphere of the welkin
Then I drink it like I would a swan
The fire of my dark heart will not die
The furnace in my head will not cool.
There's a void above
And a void below
And infinity even within.
I beseech for freedom, I yearn for the light
And I burn for the beauty of the welkin
But I cannot be freed of dire distress
I can rise my head, yet the rest remains entombed in dirt.
If you feel the pain, god-cursed someone
Join me in cursing the gods!

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 4 fans who also own “Tohcoth”
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
