Bleeding crack in the sky Reveal the unfriendly creatures of the higher spheres The crawling chaos in the dark night He will arise to deliver the gift Umbrosus Spiritus Descendit ad infernos Umbrosus Spiritus Ascendit ad caelos The universe unveils A glowing entrance to destiny In a circle of stars You scream in revision all of you Umbrosus Spiritus Descendit ad infernos Umbrosus Spiritus Ascendit ad caelos And I saw the dreadful Dragon What was it fell tonight from the evil Moon? Grave-guardian had I become Aloft, in the lone mountain-fortress of Death Fire, elementary fire Convulsive void, black cosmic matter Light, nucleation light Never seen projection, the last sigh Bleeding crack in the sky Reveal the unfriendly creatures of the higher spheres The crawling chaos in the dark night He will arise to deliver the gift The universe unveils A glowing entrance to destiny In a circle of stars You scream in revision all of you The terrible embrace of the Serpent Wraps the waist of Existence With her magic power breaks The might of Time

Vide, The best was created In the name of the One This was horrible hour, when all things material became uncertain Burning in fire of appearing visions again The might of the Will calling demons from Beyond... The force of a thousand death-spewing gargoyles in my Stronghold I shall release the apocalypse I will not be looking superficial I'm incarnating in the Sign Bursting with life in the Word I enjoy those moments And maybe I'll accompany the legions of Underworld A worthy end, no remorse! My deed is the way of your future Your dreams are lost in perfect destruction The great army in front of the Burning Lake The Kingdom of Nemesis comes The Black Sun takes control And may these ageless Stones Forever remember this night I walk and dream among damned spirits The Kingdom of Nemesis comes A worthy end, no remorse!

Night was the darkest when I immersed in vain To left the utmost depths, Echoing voices called me pressured and deathless And solitude demised. Darkness beyond light quenched my sense forevermore Ruinously, all-after, By insanity and madness, float within the flames Deep down in waters. The haze of sore attached the fears from Unknown Exploring the pain, To break the life was to stare into the Darkness With sigils nothing. I rode the corners of the utter glory The umbrage of fire-ages unfolds, And followed the tunnel of the eclipse. Within the elements ones seek to align And yearning the vessel to the waters of time, I rode the corners of the utter glory The haze of sore attached the fears from Unknown Exploring the pain, To break the life was to stare into the Darkness With sigils nothing.

Come And See 05:31
Come and see, now eternities opens Reveal the coil of supralunar sphere Vide the depth of Higher Reality Where the dimensions are multiple Through the vortex of cosmic sea Breaking cobweb of Infinite Might In the grasp of cursed Grace Tear myself from time and space The dark entropy grows infinitely Cyclical genesis and annihilation Five billion years later The Earth falls into the Sun Supermassive light - swallow Black Hole Brings the End Of All Things Through the vortex of cosmic sea Breaking cobweb of Infinite Might In the grasp of cursed Grace Tear myself from time and space Come and see, now eternities opens Reveal the coil of supralunar sphere Supermassive light - swallow Black Hole Brings the End Of All Things

The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything And the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you Nitimur In Vetitum Exuberancia Nitimur In Vetitum Non omnis moriar The dragon stood on the shore of the sea And I saw a beast coming out of the sea It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast And they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” This calls for wisdom! Let us make man in our image according to our likeness And let them rule over the fish of the sea And over the fowl of the heaven, and over the beasts And over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth and moveth on the earth Misguided pride The meaning of creation Everyday there is a holocaust For species other than humans Kill them all! He will know His own The Apocalypse is not the end of the world But rather it is the doomsday as we know it This calls for wisdom!

O vast convocation, magnificent suns, Gather and loosen your masses of gold; Lead tenderly, sadly, to solemn accords The majestic funereal march of your sister, asleep. The sands have run out!  The Earth, forever dead, After a final gasp (where a sob trembled!) Among the nocturnal silence of echoless calm, Floats, an immense and solitary wreck. That dream!  swept away by the night, is it true? You are only a shroud, inert and tragic mass; And yet remember!  Oh, epic saga, unique! … No, sleep; it’s over now.  Eternally, sleep. O vast convocation, magnificent suns … But the rebel, frail and impure, appears! He plunders sacred Maya’s beautiful veils, And the sob of Time springs upward toward the stars … But sleep; it’s over now.  Eternally, sleep. O vast convocation, magnificent suns … Oh! can you forget the medieval night When Terror would intone the “Dies irae” While Famine ground the old exhumèd bones For Plague whose fury guts the charnel house! Remember that hour when man in his ultimate fear, Under the barren sky, still clinging to Grace, Cried “Glory to God the Just,” and cursed his race! And the stake! the irons! tortures! jails! Bedlam and towers, brothels! Alchemy! and music! and the arts! Science! and war to fertilize the land! And luxuries! spleen, love, and charity! Hunger and thirst, drink, ten thousand ills! Oh, what a drama you lived, fast-cooling ashes! But sleep; it’s over now.  Eternally, sleep. O vast convocation, magnificent suns … … nameless within the unremembering darkness– It was a dream! Oh no, you never lived! All is alone! no witness! nothing to see or to think. Nothing but darkness, time, and the silence … O vast convocation, magnificent suns, Gather and loosen your masses of gold; Lead tenderly, sadly, to solemn accords The majestic funereal march of your sister, asleep.

You see: behold the Black Mirror And forgotten voice is creeping from Beyond Slurred and whirling dimensions Disintegrating time and space A question of the I, a question of existence Buried in depth of Secret-Well Mysterious crimson Dawn The calling of rolling Dream-shapes Dream and breathe in the cold Sun Wander around the edge of the cosmos, eternally Alpa! Cried I, who carries his ashes to the mountain? Alpa! Alpa! who carries his ashes to the mountain? Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Übermensch- a rope over an abyss A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting I am Herald of the Lightning Sombre is human life, and as yet without meaning: a buffoon may be fateful to it Mine ego is something which is to be surpassed: mine ego is to me the great scorn of man Mysterious crimson Dawn Dream and breathe in the cold Sun Slurred and whirling dimensions Disintegrating time and space A question of the I, a question of existence Buried in depth of Secret-Well Chaos nychion Exuberancia Apeiron chaos Nyx melaina

Reviews:

"Ahogyan megindul ez a rideg s metsző fekete-fém grind-áradat, úgy folyik át az album mind a 46 és fél percén; itt-ott megtörve jó pár emlékezetes monumentummal. A The Kingdom Of Nemesis vezér-gitártémája annyira skandináv hagyomány szerint hasít-száguld, hogyha nem tudnám, hogy itthoni produkcióról van szó, akkor simán rávágtam volna a norvég jelzőt. A Trace To Becoming Fade már-már katartikus pillanatokat rejteget magában, elgondolkodtató szerzemény, csakúgy, mint a Come And See, ami változatosságával a lemez legerősebb kompozíciói közé tartozik.
És ha már a monumentumoknál tartunk, pont ettől lesz igazán kiváló ez a lemez: nem fullad unalomba, még sokadik hallgatásra is előkerülnek apró-megbúvó részek, a dalok felépítése elég változatos skálán mozog, amihez a különböző énektónusok remekül passzolnak. Ilyen például a Svoid-os S közreműködésével előadott és már említett Trace To Becoming Fade (a szöveget is ő jegyzi) ami amellett, hogy személyes kedvencem, egyben az album másik szignifikáns dala. Totál favorit még a misztikus Come And See (a végén az a blastbeat megöl) és a címadó is fejeket szakít le a testekről, mindezt olyan gúnyos mosollyal, ami az Ördög arcán is fültől fülig tart. A Funeral March For The Death Of The Earth képében kapunk egy headbangelésre késztető menetelést még Algras-tól, majd jön a lemezt záró Adamante Notare, vészjósló, sodró black metal örvény, a középrész gyilkos, a végjáték éteri fennköltsége pedig messze túlmutat önmagán. A dobokat leszámítva minden élő a lemezen, a basszustémákra külön élmény odafigyelni, minden hangszer kivehető és élvezhető." - Rockbook (HUN)

"Only the masses of the deaf accused will not hear the challenge of evil as well as atmospheric inequality without compromise, starting with darkness and ending, and providing an apocalyptic sandbox for fantasy nodes" - Hard Music Base

"Marko Klingberg raises AORNOS's “The Great Scorn” album to one of last year's best black metal albums. Read the review!
While the sound of the album is cold nihilistic without being overpriced, and once the old bad luck shines out of lyrics it is hard to come up with a bad word about The Great Scorn. - Metalliluola

"The hypnotic leads come with a fierce yet proud, convinced attitude, the variation in vocal timbre is a surplus, the additional keyboards add a fine aural bonus, and so on. Besides, the average quality, as mentioned before, is truly high, and there is not one single moment that bores or annoys. On top of it, I must say that the full, heavy, bombastic sound strengthens the whole concept, the whole experience. And the variety, in between the tracks and within every single composition, is another surplus too.
And furthermore, the album has kind of fierce - bombastic moments that hook in you and seduce you from inside out".- Concreteweb

"The songs of Great Scorn sound ferocious and raw when Algras plays it fast. The depth and groove of music come, when songs are slower paced and impious chaos of black metal in this album finds its shape. From time to time you hear guitar solos that piercing throughout the dark horizons and landscapes of harsh and hellish music. Vocal shrieks tease you by its sound like ravens that craving for food. Vocal chants and death metal roars also enriched the music a lot. The album feels more completed if you decide to read lyrics along.
The record sounds very Scandinavian in any ways, same as the music but all those paths that Algras has chosen for his songs make very good album. The music is either cold, grim and arrangements are crafty which is another good reason that songs are very interesting to listen to.
I`m totally into this album." - Monarch Magazine

"Az első szó ami eszembe jut erről a dalcsokorról az, hogy mennyire eszméletlenül finom, milyen bársonyosan selymes a maga brutális ereje ellenére. Igen, továbbra is egy kegyetlen extrém metal lemezről beszélünk, amit az alkotója telepakolt nagyon finom, nagyon ügyes, és végtelenül muzikális megoldásokkal. A témák nem csupán fülbemászóak, de technikásak is, kezdő bárdoknak igencsak fel kell kötniük a gatyát, ha el akarják ismételni azt, ami a lemezen elhangzik.
De vajon mi insipirálja ezeknek a daloknak a készítőit? Algras szerintem rájött arra, hogy minden iszonyatok közül a legborzalmasabb maga a Tér és az Idő, és létezésünk eme két legfontosabb elemét nem csupán érdemes, hanem bizonyos esetekben szükséges is megénekelni. Gitárjának húrjain életre kel Lovecraft minden félelemmel teli gyötrelme, az ember által nem ismert dimenziók őrjítő morajlása, fajtánk kisszerűsége, porszemnyi jelentéktelenségünk, és a közeledő elmúlásunk elkerülhetetlensége. Az előző két albummal indított utazás ezzel körbe is ér, az első lemezen, az Orior-on még olyasvalaki zengi igazságait aki hiszi a Sötétség uralható, irányítható, béklyóba verhető. A Mors Sola egyre mélyebbre ás a szentségtelen tudásban, kutatja a kifürkészhetetlent, a második korong tehát vizsgál, elemez, eltöpreng. A The Great Scorn idejére pedig eljön a rádöbbenés, mely szerint a romlás erőit halandó ember nem uralhatja, így nincs más hátra mint a beletörődés, az elfogadás, és a teljes alázattal való főhajtás. A trilógia elején még dacos és erős a zene, majd a fokozatos akadályok után egyre inkább filozofikus lesz, míg végül nem marad más csak a tébolyult imádat, amit az enyészet névtelen borzalmai érdemelnek. Nyilván ez az én saját személyes meglátásom, könnyen lehet, hogy a költő teljesen másra gondolt, no persze amint módom lesz rá, meg is kérdezem ezt tőle." - Fémforgács

"Rooted in traditional black metal, The Great Scorn is an atmospheric and raw rendition of cosmic black metal that also incorporates some elements of more modern styles in its blistering delivery.
With enhancements from occasional subtle synths and grim melodies, this is music that focuses on creating blackened atmosphere just as much as it does on scathing, fiery black metal. The songs pilfer from old and new to create blackened hymns to darkness that are affecting in their mood-setting and effective in their world-building.
The music is at once both wild and violent, and fluidly constrained. The older and newer influences combine to birth something that takes strong aspects from both, and the songs that are on The Great Scorn benefit from this lineage. Although firmly operating in the darkest reaches of the underworld where it was born, the music on this album has a good deal of involving and engaging ideas spread across its uncompromising delivery.
Although it definitely stays within its self-created blackened framework, this is an album that still demonstrates decent variety across the songs. Each track feels well-shaped and sturdily constructed.
Full of arcane energy, mystical atmosphere, and esoteric venom, The Great Scorn is a very enjoyable listen. Whether a fan of old or new black metal, there’s probably something here for you.
Highly recommended and enjoyable." - Wonderbox Metal

"Let’s say you wanted to do the following. Take the style of Mayhem’s Wolf’s Lair Abyss, but swap Maniac’s death-by-sandpaper vocals back out for Atilla’s Hungarian drawl and operatic flourishes. Then, blend in some of Emperor’s Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk and perhaps a touch of Satyricon’s Nemesis Divina. Finally, take that concoction of the late-90s black metal sound and give it that modern sheen of bands like Nightbringer and Akhlys. Ideally, it would be a sound you could get lost in, a transcendence both ominous and awe-inspiring. Fresh, but still connected to the past in a meaningful way. Dissonant, but not in an obnoxious sense that’s all too common. A perfectly violent and rapturous balance.
Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, you’re too late. Aornos has already done all of that on The Great Scorn, which came out via joint conspiracy among Symbol Of Domination Productions (Belarus), Ira Aeterna (Italy), and The True Plague and Black Metal Records (USA) on April 29.
Aornos is a one-man project helmed by Algras, whose history in Hungary’s black metal scene includes Frost, Bornholm and Carcharoth. While many of those acts have looked backward to history and paganism, Aornos looks firmly upward. But this gaze is not restricted to the moon and the stars, but on the spirits residing within and beyond what we call “existence.” This is clear from the lyrics to “From a Higher Reality”:

Bleeding crack in the sky
Reveal the unfriendly creatures of the higher spheres
The crawling chaos in the dark night
He will arise to deliver the gift

The universe unveils
A glowing entrance to destiny
In a circle of stars
You scream in revision all of you

The terrible embrace of the Serpent
Wraps the waist of Existence
With her magic power breaks
The might of Time

I’m normally not one for lyrics about space, the cosmos and the like, but I kind of dig these lines. If you do as well, check out the song below and check out the entire album!" - Decibel Magazine

"Az érdekes az, hogy az Aornos egy létező irányzatban működik, mégis azt mondom, hogy tudomásom szerint, ilyen zenét más zenekar nem játszik... Ennyire bonyolult, cirkalmas témákat ilyen koncepciózusan összefogva, ezzel a jellegzetesen zord, mégis fennkölt hangulattal átitatva nem igen prezentál ma senki...
Akik netán a mai napig az új Emperor lemez után siránkoznak, inkább hallgassák meg az Aornos idei albumát. Az örökséget ennél jobban talán senki nem viszi tovább." - HammerWorld
