©ough©ool John Wehling is a doom genius. He could literally fill in for Zakk Wylde on vox. This is a killer EP for a steal. Worth it just for the riffs, but you get the whole package here Favorite track: Rublev [Remastered].

Lute FP The one man band thing bugs me in general principal, but this album slays. Less late Sabbath and more Pentagram, but whatever. Killer vocals, killer songwriting, yada yada. This is original and not mere worship of the ancients.

This dude should hook up with some similarly talented musicians, a top notch studio, and put out the next generational classic.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Having never heard of Paterikon before and just going by the artwork i was expecting something a little more brutal but was pleasantly surprised to find an album that has all the riffs you could possibly ask for but is also quite melodic and in places proggish. Favorite track: A Warning to the Curious [Remastered].

Ioannis Valiakos Just like Thierry said, there are some truly sinister riffs in this album. Very good vocals, reminiscent of the Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath. Seriously well-written tunes, for friends of Acid Mammoth and all that is heavy and doom. I can't help but wonder how massive this album could have sounded if it were produced in a big studio. But then again, it slays as it is. Highly recommended. Favorite track: A Warning to the Curious [Remastered].

Inspired by Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev. V1 Moving pictures of black and white Glittering fires of pagan night Savage boredom of peasant days Ravaging freshness of ancient ways Journey of three and one The restless wanderings of the younger son Gather in rain beneath shining birch Terrible snow in the ruined church Chorus Time is an image Moving eternity Space but the imprint Of immortality V2 Vision of the dead Greek master Jealous words forebode disaster Closed your lips in mortal sin Child can open your eyes again Covered in mud yet flight of the swan Resist the knowledge that you are the one To paint the image for all to see Heavenly vision, the one and the three
2.
Inspired by the classic ghost story of MR James. V1 When first I heard the story I had to make it mine Unearth the buried Saxon crown What a treasure! what a find! Two were lost to sea and time Just one remained for me To make my name and make my life A grand museum piece Bridge If only I could put it back But He will not forgive guardian of the ancient crown I will not outlive Chorus Curiosity killed the cat the crown’s keeper killed me Ghost of William Ager Will never let me be Warning to the curious You eaters of the ancient tree Don't tinker with the sacred things Leave them alone, Please let them be V2 Since first I started digging I’ve never been alone Dim presence there behind me Under earth and over stone Sacrilegious prying This curséd curiosity More things in heaven and on earth Than my philosophy Bridge If only I could put it back But he will not forgive Dead guardian of the ancient crown I will not outlive Chorus Curiosity killed the cat keeper of the crown killed me Ghost of William Ager Will never let me be Warning to the curious You eaters of the ancient tree Don't tinker with the sacred things Leave them alone, Please let them be

V1 Loving only lust and power We erect our sacred tower Engineers and architects Building toward the final hour Algorithm of dust and ashes Crave the stripes from velvet lashes Digital brains for intellects Exchanging vision for bytes and caches Bridge If evolution’s our destiny Then why is our trajectory Regression toward a ruthless mean To be enslaved by the machine Chorus Seeing all Knowing all Predicting all Benevolent means Malevolent ends The Machine our god And to its will we all will bend V2 Scientists our vested priests Disregard the weak and least And with progress as our creed Fashion image of the beast Slouching now toward Bethlehem We reach to grasp the bloody hem And bow before the great machine With Herod the holy child condemn
4.
v1 Under the mountain Lie the rotting bones Dark fetid water And moss covered stones Grave of the world Stilling of time Despondency’s triumph Meaningless rhyme V2 Mouth of Hades open Gaping and wide The grim host awaiting To lead us inside Gullet is open Swallowing all Beneath the mountain All flesh must fall Chorus Descend into hades Beneath the tide Under the mountains Where sinners hide Make our dirge alleluia Turn darkness to light Reclaim fallen captives Put the serpent to flight
5.
1 Seven spirits So-called sages Selling wisdom from Before ages Secret knowledge Of the mages Pay the piper Reap the wages Chorus Without wisdom Knowledge turns us into Slaves Without wisdom Technique digs for us a Grave 2 Lust for power Demons downfall Fool the children Ruin of all Bow down and Take a master price of knowledge Our disaster 3 Split the atom Harness matter Descend the Fiery ladder Transfixed by Tiny glowing screens Be enslaved by Babylon machine
