In moonlight's embrace, her curse unwinds,
A tale of vengeance and secrets confined.
A wicked heart, with no chance to mend,
Desire's hold, a bitter end.
Spirit Woman, her lips stained red,
She roams in shadows, seeking revenge,
For a promise of love not meant to be her own.
A relentless hunger, her thirst never dies.
Perpetual thirst,
A boundless desire,
A never-fading longing for blood.
Bloodthirst, Blood!
Bloodthirst unquenched,
None can save!
Swollen with wrath, she rises from the grave,
She roams in shadows, seeking revenge,
Feeding on men, her hunger untamed,
Immersed in darkness, her chains remain.
The weight of the earth can't keep her in place.
Spirit Woman, her lips stained red.
Bloodthirst, Blood!
Bloodthirst unquenched,
None can save!
In moonlight's embrace, her curse unwinds,
A tale of vengeance and secrets confined.
A wicked heart, with no chance to mend,
Desire's hold, a bitter end.
Spirit Woman!
Spirit Woman!

I get the Bathory comparisons, but I place Marthe more in the lineage of great female poet/musicians like Patti Smith, Diamanda Galás, and Siouxsie (who she covers on “Sin in My Heart”). This transcends metal for me. Absolutely magnificent!
Thanks for putting this in the feed today, Yoma. Perfect timing :) MJ

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
