Melodic Divinity Combining avant-garde black metal and progressive thrash metal, Mefitis brings an impressive and refreshing combo of styles. Similar to recent Extirpation, Siderean, recent Primeval Mass, Botis, Achiral, and Terminalist in concept. I desperately need a full length album. Easily one of the most impressive new metal bands from China and the frontwoman has a great voice. Favorite track: Cetus.

Dan Curhan A thrashy, raw, honest, and surprisingly creative progressive black metal gem from the depths of the underground. Don't be fooled: the production is clear and balanced, despite its rawness. The riffs are thoughtful, inspired, and refreshingly unorthodox, the bass plays far more than a supporting role, and the drummer uses his blasts creatively to great effect. I'm quite impressed, and want moooore!

Cetus 04:43
Fleets descend on the endless blue No pity for the "conquered" realm How long have they forgotten their fear? Gazing into the bottomless deep Hungry eyes betray ravenous intent Do they know the abyss stares back? We are not blind to the mountains of garbage Drifting on the currents, the toxic sludge That we once called home Trapped deep in the frozen north Hideous Leviathan Centuries lost to the bitter cold Slumbering, waiting Thunderous boom of the cleaving ice Shed your glacial bonds Liberated by the mefite Awaken, arise! Roaming freely, once again Furious avenger of the seas They look upon the creature unleashed Trembling, waiting Rising tides a sign to come There is no refuge on shore The seaborne terror Racing to landfall Cyclone winds on its back Storms of unmatched ferocity Siege the land from above The ocean quakes with each step it takes Surging walls of water Reclaim our lost dominion This violence is only the start As the waters encroach further inland Returned from whence you came Countless drowned by the baying waves Countless, though lesser still Such a meager retribution But yet we're still too late what is lost can never return Corpses stolen by the coming tides There is nothing left to share but a common grave

Ecdysis 04:03
Raining of Gecko’s blood Lapis shower blinds my sight Parched skin set its eyes ablaze Smoldering meteorite Enlightened me to a speck of Sumeru Radiating a glint from the mighty webs The rattle of his death throes echo through my mind I find myself awakened in a deadly realm Find a way out, find your own way out Six seconds, sobering Freed from that venom nightmare Sleepwalking as a spider no more Suffering feeds their sadistic hunger Grown fat off tortured screams Injected, like countless times before Silken threads, bound together Twisted into this horrid empire Cages woven, joined together Inescapable web surrounding all Six senses, opened anew There is no turning back No more bound by cold-blooded codes Eternally shedding my skin Scar tissue exorcism Expelling toxic trauma with every step The gecko’s noble rebellion Cut short by merciless fangs The fires reflected by gossamer bars Forever burned into my mind Condemned to embers and ashes, memories Its death was not in vain Alien to the Ungoliant tongue There is no word for my kind No roads, no signs, no maps, no end Walking the uroboric path No roads, no signs, no maps, no end Shedding, consuming all I am

Desecrate 05:41
A final banquet held within the red gate Draws their gaze away from an omen ill Flowers bursting from the bamboo stalks Nourishment for the looming infestation The blossom oath can be upheld no longer Sinew and bone strain under pressure The neck brittle with the burden of prophecy Relieved by the falling blade Lambfeet roasting above the firepit Smelted precious metals in the air Beyond the edge, the ends of the earth Onward to the sunrise kingdom Dancing, marching, conquering the past Strangling the final graces of Apollo The phantom charge of the steeds of Ashura Imposing an order of chaos untold The rule of iron remains unchanged, immune to evolution The ravenous ranks of the formic legionnaire A silken veil of mercy, of pity, of constrained piety Barely conceals the desire to subjugate Burrowing, seeking, sanctuary below Beyond the reach of the starlight paths Cast down into the maze of camelthorn Embraced by the deepest roots of the labyrinth Dancing, compelled, beneath chaos, solo sitar guiding my feet Orchestrated carnage above entertaining death Voyeuristic pursuit, chasing fabled purity Alone, I move, soothing music, listen to their screams Nameless, cursed, forgotten faces line the empty halls Tortured, trapped inside mosaic prisons Distorted visages mutter words of malice and spite Pleas for vengeance gone unheard Ambition alone will never emerge triumphant Against the mandates of heaven and earth No refuge from the cosmic dice that guide the hands of fate Cannot outrun that which is to be With a single brilliant flash of light Spidering down from the heavens into the heart of ceded lands Lightning bolt, illuminator, the crackling of ions Cast the shadows away Tearing down the bloodied barriers Effervescent weapons dissipate Tombs of bygone ages rebuilt Cradled in the heart of the magma

Lotophagi 06:05
A decade of bloodshed, strife, and struggle finally come to close All that's left is the long voyage home But our careless captain cursed us to hostile seas and violent storms Shipwrecked and left to subsist on the bounty of this island paradise Fields of flowers, fragrant, far as the eye can see It turns to me to try it's potency The bittersweet petals, intoxicating, coursing through my veins Undiscovered wavelengths of light, obscured by hidden stars The unnatural order exposed by feral dreams Weightless, emancipated but for a moment, outrun gravity I see them gaze at me with unfamiliar eyes I know they dare not walk the lotus path Pawns to petty squabbles of indifferent gods and kings So tired, so tired of spilling blood for the whims of tyrants I hear it calling back for me, just one more taste I feel it clawing desperately, lotophagi Pleasures unknown to bacchus himself Fields of forbidden flora coat the moonkissed fields Heresy in full bloom Howling winds play a siren song on the floral orchard choir A thousand voices beckoning me to stay and eat as much as I please The watchful gaze of a million eyes Speckle the black celestial realm Basking beneath the lunar rays Solitary but not alone I awake beneath the western sun and eastern moon Stumbling back to a deserted camp, the ashes already cold A single shadow crawls on the distant waves Now and forever oceans away Sinking, shrinking, swallowed beside the setting sun I hear it calling back for me, just one more taste I feel it clawing desperately, lotophagi
