BillyGoat Wow, did this record ever leave me in shock and awe. I'm not even sure how I stumbled across SUNNIVA, but when I pressed play on the first track from 'The Holy Mountain' I wondered, "Where has this band been all my life?" And absolutely convincing rager that will grace the collection of any fan of heavy music. This deserves a vinyl release. Favorite track: Ascending.

Ascending 11:52
Divine bloodhails within Passing the threshold agony, life beats on, relentless devouring the soul Hooves beat down on the killing floor the body transcending decay Saints pray for pain to feast on awaiting divine power to come down Divine blood come down Burning the altars arise inferno no gods no masters Freedom bestowed Fate erased cast down from their thrones Shunned eyes look beyond the sky as forked tongues call for war With Iron grip the machine burns on breathing down death Upon the plains, death upon the skies Cut to the marrow through the dead flesh of scripture Words corrupted over centuries, burnt ground marks their path Hearing bones crack under pressure, shifting to this endless drone With Iron grip the machine burns on breathing down death Upon the plains, death upon the skies Transcending within us all Divine blood Hails within Ascending

gods and demons mold into one the age old rituals take on new form upon the unholy altar youth as a offering as the black wolf devours the sun Holy mountain Open the way a bridge burns silent against a pale worn sky never to reach those roads beyond the beaten path release the mind from this system in our fever dreams muted words flow through Holy mountain Open the way This cycle surrounds us opening ever flowing This cycle surrounds us closing in ever flowing Passing onto foreign land
