The Australian black metal entity Drowning the Light has unleashed the second part of its new tale of darkness, “Conquer or Serve”, titled “Conquer or Serve II: The Natural Law is Tooth & Claw”!
Azgorh reflects on the title:
“The second part of this five part cycle is “The Natural Law is Tooth & Claw”. Nature is cruel and unforgiving, it does not care for your feelings, desires, hopes or insecurities. It has an uncompromising harmony and whether humanity exists or doesn’t means nothing to the old gods. This album is feral-hearted, raw, melancholic and majestic Black Metal, with acoustic passages and each season is reflected not only as a season of nature, but a season of mankind’s existence within it. This album is the death of cowering weak fragility. The wolf tearing apart the innocent rabbit or the lamb, which is the cosmos reflected through an act of microcosmic bloodshed, thus this album is that wolf. A reflection of the spirit of this natural world, bound by an ouroboros forever devouring… Are you the head or the tail? Will you survive or fall? There is also beauty reflected in this album, that lulls and lures you, but do not be fooled. The natural world is a world of war, and the natural law is tooth and claw… And although most choose to be blind to this, the world of mankind and its empires and all its “kindness” and “humanity” is thinly veiled and still exists under that primal natural law, where the naked sword is still kingmaker or king breaker. Do not believe otherwise. And no matter how it is disguised by the powers that loom over you, the sword is now held to your mind, the final and most important land for them to conquer. Regardless, this caitiff species is now in ruin, we are in our winter, and every empire must fall. Thus the cycle continues in part 3. “
