"And she cries….”Are we cursed”?........“Of course we are.” Trinkets to be cleansed Abominations……Cleansed We came upon these offerings…..by chance. In the cold…..In the dark. Darkness…..In the shadow I made my choice…without eyes Darkness…In the shadow I sealed my fate….with a touch….with a touch. Not until the light did I…. Revel….at my selection The light brought the horror And she cried….”Are we Cursed?” “Are we cursed?” Do the dead rejoice or recoil at our blasphemies? Let the construct take its shape…..Let the blood flow This is the only way that brings me forth Who will punish our trespasses, put out the light? “I can’t bear to see anymore”….Bring back the dark!!

VAULT OF DRIED BONES, in conspiracy with IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS, is proud to present VERSIFIST's second EP, Cipher, on 7" format. Hailing from the isolated realm of Nova Scotia, Canada, VERSIFIST here offer two swift 'n' scabrous six-minute attacks of nuanced, deathened black metal. On the A-side of Cipher is the aptly titled "Bring Back the Dark," where the power-trio become a force of self-propulsion, blasting forward with iron-fisted energy before settling into a tense 'n' sustained down-tempo toward song's end. On the B-side, "...In Tongues" goes the reverse route, starting delicately and ominously before patiently building back into that iron-fisted energy, this time applying a frozen melodicism atop. Together, with a production that's clear 'n' cutting whilst retaining the requisite scuzziness, Cipher is a quick but ultimately satisfying introduction to VERSIFIST, tiding over the legions until the band's imminent debut album. - Nathan T.
