Ablepsia rose from nothingness in March 2003 to become the second black metal band from Varna after inexistant Zaratustra. Only three months were necessary for the line-up to come into present appearance, retaining more than two years and a half. The initial style was symphonic black metal as much more melodic elements intruded later. In October the same year was recorded the first demo, untitled and published for free download on the Internet. It caused curiosity in lots of listeners. The hard work continued as the band more often turned to live performances. In 2005 Ablepsia set up its own studio - it helped very much for the development. The songs became more aggressive, faster and musically consistent.
In 2006 the band continued live performing and thus, recieved an invitation to perform in Monsters Of Rock festival, which eventually didn't take place [because of misunderstanding between the organizators and Varna municipality]. In August, Ablepsia made their way to Basement Studio in Pleven, where they recorded 3 songs that were released in limited circulations. By the end of the year, the band took part in the Decadence festival II, which was their last concert in this line-up. The drummer Vo Ael decided to leave the band and the two guitarists Mephistopheles and Aesterial were expelled from the band due to internal quarrels.
The Prophecy
Ablepsia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drowned in the blackness
Of an endless nightfall
To declare the end of this world
Over fake prophets I shall arise
To forsee how mankind's undone
That spreads like a plague
Is a scourge for the life
Once gifted to them
Madness
Intoxicates the minds
Awaiting
The tragical end
Masses are bowing to an imitation of a god
Humble priests telling his lies
And blessing the children before cutting their throats
Pouring the blood in their wine
Their mother - regression, their father - delusion
Their foetus is dead in the womb
Strangled in emotions of own selfish pride
A heritage of utter contempt
Buried in darkness are the black elements of demise
And there's the truth
Unseen for a thousand
Generations misled and unwise
Swear by lies
Like ignorant lambs
Now face the extinction of life
Wretches!
Like starving animals
Feasting on their own rotten flesh
Infecting the world
Like a disease
Behold the sewege race!
Light disappears
Drowning in darkness
As man falls in disgrace
So I forsee
And so shall be done
Unfolding the end
The lyrics of Ablepsia's song, "The Prophecy," paint a picture of a world consumed by darkness and chaos. Light has disappeared, and the endless nightfall signals the end of the world. The singer sees through the false prophets who have misguided mankind and predicts their downfall. The mortal existence, which is like a plague, is destroying the life gifted to them. Madness intoxicates the minds of the masses, who are bowing to an imitation of a god. Humble priests tell lies and pour the blood of innocent children into their wine. The singer sees the truth, but the generations of the past were misled and unwise, swearing by the ignorant lies. Thus, the world is offered a tragic end, and the sewege race will infect everything like a disease.
The lyrics of the song paint a dark and grave picture of humanity. The denunciation of blind faith, the deception of emulous priests and their deceitful rituals, and the illogicality of the masses' conviction have all contributed to humanity's destruction. The overthrow of the false prophets and the world's end predict by the singer's prophecy. The lyrics also criticize the heritage of utter contempt and the human being's flawed nature. They draw attention to how humanity is reinforcing its ruin, with the world's evolution into sinking darkness. It is a warning to humanity, whose futile life is extending ever-so-far, walking towards the inescapable doom they once brought upon themselves.
