SIYUM EVEL

BAND NAME: Siyum Evel
GENRE: Gothic Black/Doom Metal
STATUS: Split up
LOCATION: Brazil (Brasilia, Distrito Federal)

Formed in 2001 when Leonardo Mello converted to Christianity and was inspired to start a band. Originally when he formed it with Ubiratan, they used the name "Aliança de Sangue" ("Alliance of Blood" in Portuguese.) In the same week, Caroline and Renato joined. After this, they changed their name to Siyum Evel.

"Siyum Evel" means "End of Lamentation" in Hebrew. The band said in an interview (translated), "In this world we will face pain and suffering, and go through dark moments just as Christ did. The end of lamentation is God's promise for us that came to us through Christ (Revelation 21:1-7)."

The band was inactive from sometime in 2004, up until 26 December, 2005. The implication was that they would be active again, but I'm not sure if anything ever happened.

Lineup:
Leonardo Rodrigues de Mello - Vocals
Francinete "Fran" Ribeiro - Vocals (operatic/female)
Lázaro Takeo Ramoa Mae - Guitars
Caroline Reis - Bass
Leonardo dos Reis Aragão - Keyboards, Synth
Renato Araujo Silva - Drums

Past members:
Marta - Vocals (operatic/female)
Ubiratan - Guitars
André - Guitars, Backing Vocals

+ 1 other song, track position / further info unknown



Extreme Collection Volume II (compilation, January, 2004, Extreme Records)
Format: CD-R

Included with copies of Extreme Brutal Death Zine #12.

Written on the artwork:
"Certa vez, em um século esquecido pelo mundo, havia alguns cavaleiros excluídos do Reino de onde eram. Espalhavam o terror e a morte por onde passavam. En uma emboscada, foram capturados. Logo depois mortos com as armas terrenas que usavam. Eles erem anjos caídos."

8) Siyum Evel - Siyum Evel
10:18, lyrics:
Vi um novo Céu
E uma nova terra
Porque todas as coisas
São todas passadas
E o mar já não existe

Vi a santa cidade
A nova Jerusalém
Que de Deus descia dos céus
Como uma linda esposa
Que vem para o seu marido

Ouvi uma grande voz do céu que dizia
Eis aqui a morada de Deus com os homens
Pois com eles habitará eles serão seu povo

Deus limpará de teus olhos toda lagrima
Não haverá mais morte nem pranto nem clamor
Nem dor porque já as primeiras coisas são passadas

E o que estava assentado sobre o trono disse
Eis que faço novas todas as coisas
Escreve: está cumprido
Eu sou o Alfa e Ômega, o princípio e o fim
A quem tiver sede de graça lhe darei da fonte de água viva
Quem vencer herdará todas as coisas eu serei teu Deus e ele será meu filho



The lyrics to the following songs are featured on their website.
I'm not sure if they were ever released on anything:

+ GUERRA +

Guerra! Empunhem suas espadas!
Guerra! Levantem suas armas!

Marchemos em frente sem temor!
Guerreiros em nome do Senhor!

Fogo santo desce sobre a terra
Flechas inflamadas cortam os céus
Hordas de soldados se travam em combate
O vermelho do horizonte, a marca de horror

Em todo o firmamento ouve-se o furor
O estrondo de carros, os senhores da guerra
Sangue e fogo, colunas de fumaça
Anjos contra demônios, guerreiros celestiais

Guerra! Empunhem suas espadas!
Guerra! Levantem suas armas!

Marchemos em frente sem temor!
Guerreiros em nome do Senhor!

Gritos de dor ecoam pelos montes
Destruição das legiões e hostes malignas
Ajoelhadas e rendidas diante do mestre
A batalha é ganha pelo exército de Deus

Legiões deste exército percorrem o firmamento
Perseguem o mal como lobos implacáveis
Com a força soberana do nosso eterno pai
Pedra sobre pedra, juramos, não ficará!

Guerra! Empunhem suas espadas!
Guerra! Levantem suas armas!

Marchemos em frente sem temor!
Guerreiros em nome do Senhor!

Há um altar edificado nos céus
Dedicado à memória daqueles
Que pereceram no combate
O seu sangue clama da terra
E não tardará o grande dia
Que verão seu incontável triunfo
E reinarão com nosso Deus
Na vasta cidade santa


+ MORTE ESPIRITUAL +
Sinto os meus olhos contemplarem a escuridão
Meu corpo cansado vai perdendo suas forças
Meu espírito vazio embarca lentamente
Numa viagem sem volta, é a morte que me espreita

Uma grande voz diz: abram o grande livro
Que traz os nomes dos conhecidos de Deus
Seu nome não está escrito, anuncia-se o veredicto
Um calafrio ao ouvir: aparta-te maldito

Qual será o meu destino, o medo me consome
Nas profundezas de um abismo, ouço um clamor de sofrimento
Terriveis gritos de dor de milhares de almas mortas
Brindam tristemente a minha chegada

Uma esmagadora dor arrebata meus pensamentos
E queima dentro de mim como um vulcão em erupção
O sofrimento indescritível já não se mede em palavras
Clamo pela morte mas a morte já me abraçou

É dura a realidade que não queria aceitar
Não há segunda chance, a sentença é eterna
Não há saída do inferno, o tormento não tem fim
Este é o preço que pago por não lembrar do mestre
Por não tê-lo buscado enquanto ele estava ali
Enquanto o fôlego da vida pairava sobre mim

Nao há caldeiroes nem diabos com rabinhos
Tridentes, mas apenas choro, ranger de dentes
Sofrimento, destruição, morte
Para os que não tem seu nome no livro da vida
Morte espiritual, separação eterna de Deus
O lago de fogo, enxofre, o tormento eterno

2) In Humility
5:08, lyrics:
"I chose doors that opened under the gaze of insanity.
Catching breath from the deep dive, a rebirth of conquered anguish.
And hell pointing out every choice.
Upon my shoulders the burden of the bitter harvest.
Bathed by the waters that held back all my sadness.

Where the marks of a dead man are wounds that heal the one who emerged from his tomb.
Reborn from the bowels of a corpse.
Where the old meets the new.
His words are the winds of this furtive storm.
Like streams flowing from its flaming throne.
Bleeding from the cracks that awakened the apocalypse.
I buried the old man in deep graves.
And this sanctuary of pain, enslaved by sin.
The old existence has supplanted disaffection in the black waters of oblivion.
Behold the rebirth of man.
Envision the mortal's encounter with Eternity.
Look at the forgiven creature.
Complete worship of the Supreme Creator."


3) In Thy Light
4:53, lyrics:
Higher than the endless distances of the sky.
Silent as the void between the stars.
A Realm deeper than aeons of eternity.
It settles down in incorruptible glory.
In the cradle of the suns, where the light of the oldest star was born.
His hand reaches to infinity.
Behold The Mighty Creator of the Universe.
Endless is the flame of His reason.

Hear the song I will sing over the grave of your enemies.
By a thousand names we call Him.
And the blood of his martyrs watered his seed of Word.

For eternity I will follow the faith under the dominion of servitude.
Keep my name written in blood letters.
And I will walk the streets of Your golden Kingdom.
Who can count His days?
Who can forget His name?
For reasons that make me believe, I am the void that only your presence can fill.


4) Adversary
4:25, lyrics:
Engulfed in the flames that sparked the rebirth of hatred.
O child of despair, you have found despondency in the ruins of your fallen heart.
Feeding the storm in the silence of mourning.
Pathetic existence strangled by fear.
Servant of the lie, you have been denied.
You fell and we beheld the disaster of your insurgency.
Glazed eyes, rotting without being able to die.
The food of death condemned to live in the dark.
We are the opposition of their dogmas, the resistance reunited with blood.
Smashing the portals of hell.
O son of rebellion, I will burn your empire of lies, you fall and we rise.
I beheld the splendor of your light being drowned in the loneliness of oblivion.
sanatas reficul.
King of sin, your faults have been exposed
in front of everyone.
And the currents that carry you down to the diabolical tomb of your burning sanctuary.
Under the lash of the punishment of time, its real name is hypocrisy.


5) Yom Hadin
4:25, lyrics:
Hear the sounds of this calamity draining the sources of telluric energy
Whether they are angels or demons, we don't know...
If we could decipher the secrets of Urim and Thummin
If only we could see the light that hid behind the darkness.
Without warning, they arrived, destroying thrones.
Behold the hour of calamity, the end of all things, this desolation on the day of judgment.
The two witnesses to chaos.
The coldest shadow of existence.
Contemplate fear.
You are the beginning, the prophet of despair.
Your faith has shaken the altar of unbelief.
Fallen in lies, without divine protection.
Under the tyrannical shadow of iconoclasm.
Summoning the legions of war, to consume all spoiled meat.
Raising the flag of discord, to subdue the lot of the infidels.
Dying, to resurface.
Exposed, to be feared.
Bow down, O fallen humanity, recognize him who reigns over all things.


6) Whispers
2:48, instrumental

7) Azaryahu
4:32, lyrics unknown

8) Risen
5:08, lyrics:
Look inside yourself
In the farthest depths of this labyrinth of pain.
Detach yourself from the paradigm and submit to the One.
Intolerance for the weak.
Eternity will be conquered on the battlefield.
Reinvigorate blade strength in the splendor of war.

So that today the gates of hell are shaken by hatred.
Become the sword, be the arrow aimed at darkness.
Devastating the enemy on the front lines.
Bringing death to the ends of the depths of the abyss.
Be disturbed, O inhabitants of the earth, free yourselves from the chains of ignorance.
The conception of truth generated in the winds of wisdom.
Sculpting the new world, the new being.
Invigorated from the seed contaminated by sin.
We are the born-again, the children of the Son of man.
The transition from the lost prodigal to the body of the glorified.

YETI



BAND NAME: Yeti
GENRE: Black / Doom / Death Metal
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: USA (Tampa Bay, Florida)

Most of this band no longer identifies as Christian. They did at one point, however. See [this interview].

Formed in 1996.

Supposedly, they changed their name to "Among the Dead" in 2005, but failed to get another record contract, and split up in 2006. I collected this info from Discogs, Last.fm, and Metal Music Archives, but have no idea if it's true or not.

The self-titled emphasizes their doom side, while "Niflheim" emphasizes their black metal side. I don't know what was on "Live DVD".

Lineup:
Eldrik Bloodaxe - Vocals
Deadguy - Vocals
Sol Sangraal - Guitars (lead)
Asgrim - Guitars, Vocals
Cercyon - Bass, Vocals
Kadath - Keyboards

Yeti (promo, 1-4 July, 1998, Skaught Productions)
Format: CD, limited (???) copies

The copy pictured here is #42. Someone on YouTube mentions that they have #65. They think there are 100 total copies of this promo, but they don't seem certain about it. Anyway, it was released at Cornerstone Festival 1998, which ran from the 1st to the 4th of July of that year.

As far as I can tell, the music on this promo is the final material released on the album, but I'm not totally sure.

1) (Intro)
2) Foretold Gathering
3) The Awakening
4) I Walk Among the Dead
5) When Darkness Fails to Fall

 

Yeti (album, July, 1998, Skaught Records)
Format: CD

Self-titled.

1) [intro]
2:35, lyrics:
Back in the days when kings and queens ruled like gods and the earth was only but a child, the greed for riches and the lust for power gripped the land. Far in the northern realm, there lived a wretched king whose fearlessness drove his warmongering knights to unchallenged hatred, looting and pillaging the nearby villages at will. The ground bled as starving peasants cried out in anguish. Some fought back but to no avail. Resistance was futile as death was their only reward. Hope was lost.

2) Foretold Gathering
7:45, lyrics unknown

3) The Awakening
6:06, lyrics unknown

4) I Walk Among the Dead
9:00, lyrics unknown

5) When Darkness Fails to Fall
12:14, lyrics unknown


Extreme Music Sampler Volume 4 (compilation, 2000, Cross Rhythms Music)
Format: CD

7) Yeti - The Awakening 4:42





Not sure if Christian releases or not:
- Niflheim, 2003
- Live DVD, 2004
