the golden age power and force at waste to die to ressurect in the far future to die to resurrect in the golden age to start either from the beginning or from the middle or from the end to say what has to be said what a gorgeous age the age clouded by miseries the age of destruction

METUS 05:20
I wish to kindle hatred towards myself that's the destiny that's the circumstances obeying the fear with a bit of irony a honeyed mouth with milky words hides a heart filled with gall and evil deeds. my life is good when my mind is confused i ignore my misfottunes the world is a mirror of the game nothing is new under the sun nothing is new under the moon a rare bird, the white crow obeing the fear the eternal low the law of retribution the same through the same obeying the fear

AETERNA VITA 05:25
nothing is made out of nothing no delay before,again,further,after the servile cattle is longing for a miracle the third is given everything is made out of nothing eternal life in a morass

IMPERIUM 04:25
the eagle catches flies the donkeys are pleased with scanty food miserable vassal plebs... empire... new order comes again new babe – new care new ruber – new laws time dictates a new order the lame leg is always better the empty vessel makes the greatest sound. one way or another the donkey catches flies the eagle is pleased with scanty food empire the weal of the homeland is the higher law they create a desert and call it the world splendid miracles the eagles and the donkeys catch flies empire the weal of the ruler is the higher law
5.
who can teach the bounds of good and evil? we have poison fot life and for pleasure our gorgeous age... one man is to another man a monster flesh eats flesh bloody insanity i don't care at all about people all of you – throw yourselves into the flames i declare myself god being of sound mind and memory i put all my hopes in myself let the world perish that's my will!

we live to eat we're addicted to nothing wasting time before the mirror hoping for what? when all the meal is eaten we leave having done nothing

ODA TORTORUM 02:56
want to hang? - learn! learn and hang to hang is human first learn,then hang always ready, almost a fighter almost great always ready for the straight way almost dread choirs of virgins sing for you the determined to die salute you to hang is human
8.
SPERO 03:50
the sail calls me in the sea of insanity lost in time like a mad wave i'm torn between fear and desire i have a hope to sleep in a bed of roses to live in eternal bliss who calls me insane will hear the same
9.
MEDIA NOX 06:13
i'm catching the moment burning the bridges selling the smoke my mind is asleep against my will i stay alive great art of silence great art of mistake i'm shouting nonsense i'm shouting the forbidden putting the poison aside anything but that the fatal moment has not come yet midnight
10.
god created the world for his convenience without our partaking against the human being i'm bringing you the great news earth will take us! don't ask about tomorrow we are but dust and shadow that's a great mystery earth will take us what is a madness to throw down the gauntlet to death remember how short your life is we'll all be drinking our vernomous drink let the devil finish it off drink as much as many years you wish to live drink and forget aboit the empire all to a man, in any case earth will take us
11.
TENDICULA 03:44
the times drags on as if it stopped slow swiftness reach the peak – praise yourself nonsense oh when will the vanity of the world come to its end! When i'm asleep perpetual sleep trap
12.
to muster up courage to call gad a friend but fetters hold me to choose a hostile path to walk against the wind but fetters hold me to get closer to heaven what an effort, what a labor! but fetters hold me.. it's time to drink so let's drink but fetters hold me...

MORITE HODIE 03:23
die today i'll die tomorrow the hunting dogs have a short life despise you! hate you! hunting dogs die today like a bandog i'm sapient i'm pleased with my fate die today but i died yersterday
14.
INTER 05:23
between life and death i hope in vain between life and death i weep in vain i reject idols between life and death i fight shadows in between life and death i believe lies between life and death i long for love between life and death i teach what i don't know between life and death sorroful shelter between death and life i help to cross life to death darkness bears light

ODOR MORTI 05:47
the will of a ruler is the highier low their obedience is absolute let them hate if only they fear let them hate if only they back up justice is in force nothing is an inconsistent as the crowd 100-eyed monster to please the crowd from heaven to hell time to draw the line the odor of death,specific odor time to draw the line every hour hurts,the last one kills the sea is messed up with the sky not even a spot for the Troy was lots of disasters,great cloaca the war of all against everyone even the ruins have perished the silence strikes with fear adomination of desolation the odor of death,specific odor the show is over,the horror song the last reason the argument of the slaughterer the last chance to lye shamelessly time to draw the line i said

FINIS ROMA 04:08
it takes ages to build the city and an hour to destroy it the last hour has come rome must be destroyed the fury of the teutons with fire and sword leaves ruins in its wake turning everything to smoke and ashes woe to the defeated the end of Rome rome must be destroyed now and forever rome must be destroyed thus and the only way rome must be destroyed let the eternal city perish! let rome perish time to destroy

about

ZGA & OPUS POSTH: Carmina Morituorum (book/CD)
Extraordinary project written by Nick Sudnick and performed by a 5 piece Zga
(adding trombone, voices, bass and drums to Nick's electroacoustic sound-sculpture
instruments), plus Opus Posth a 9-piece string ensemble conducted by Tatiana Gridenko.
These are fully scored pieces, with some great string writing and arrangements.
A cycle of songs, spooky, powerful and monumental, sung in Latin.
Electronic, acoustic, tonal and microtonal elements are fully integrated.
And it's very nicely recorded.
The CD comes packaged in a 36pp 21cm x 15cm full colour book made up of original paintings
and the (short but substantial) texts translated into Russian and English.
A remarkable and admirable work
