Adopted the new name on 9 February, 2024.

"A few years back, I changed the name from Warfrozen, to Servant, and had the intentions of writing more music in the fast/dark black metal style. After listening to that style for over 30 years, I became extremely turned off by typical 'evil' sound.
Anyways, to avoid rambling on, I will be changing the name of the project again, with a new focus and passion."

Exaltation: I - IV (demo)

21 May, 2024, Independent, Bandcamp
1 July, 2024, Independent, CD (or CD-R?), 50 copies, sold out

Also stream on YouTube (ARTIST-APPROVED)[2]

Features orchestrations by Yevhen Onoychenko.

Four songs uploaded as one long audio track.

Apparently re-released at some point.
The artist wishes to warn that there was a manufacturing defect in the original "50 copies" run. The company that printed these used an ink on the discs that runs when exposed to liquid. He notes on Facebook this is the last time he plans to use that company, and all future releases will be printed through the manufacturer he used before this.

1) Exaltation: I - IV
16:25 total
EXALTATION I (approx 2:34)
In the quiet of the winters morn,
Where frost adorns the trees of old,
With every flake, evidence of God's creation,
In winter's grasp, my soul finds peace.

Behold the majesty of winter's cloak,
Woven by the hands of the Almighty,

In every flake, a triumph of creation,
In winter's grasp, my soul finds strength.

In the cold embrace, a fire ignites,
A spark of courage and hope within.

In the cold embrace, a fire ignites,
A spark of courage and hope from Him.


EXALTATION II (approx 5:16)
By the fire's glow,
Amidst the chill,
Where sparks ascend,
To meet the heavens.

In the crackle and hiss, a calming song,
In the flickering light, a triumphant embrace,
A warmth that conquers the winters cold.

Around the fire, darkness flees,
A quiet communion of my soul,
The reflection of light, against ancient trees,
That reach towards Heaven.

My heart and mind are still,
You are here,
I join the trees in worship,
Of the Creator.

Around the fire, darkness flees,
A quiet communion of my soul,
The reflection of light, against ancient trees,
That reach towards Heaven.

In the flickering light,
A divine embrace,
A warmth that conquers the winter's cold.


EXALTATION III (approx 3:59)
Snowflakes fall like silent prayers,
Each one a proclamation from above,
In the soft descent, a psalm of worship,
A chorus of victory in winter's grace.

Winter's whisper,
God's calming touch, beyond compare.
In the softness of snow,
His voice speaks to me,
In the stillness of night, it is Him I seek.

In the whisper of the falling snow,
A language of love and triumph,
In the stillness of the frozen night,
My soul finds strength and healing.

In the quiet of the winter dawn,
Where sunlight breaks through icy clouds,
In the silence, an affirming warmth,
A saving love and hope,
That is forevermore.


EXALTATION IV (approx 4:38)
Etchings of frost upon the earth,
A masterpiece painted by His hand,
Each delicate detail, God’s declaration,
Of triumph amidst the winter's chill.

In the canvas of the winter sky,
Where stars shine as beacons of victory,

The strength of the wind, his declaration,
Of the triumph of light over darkness.

Beneath the blanket of snow,   
Life is dormant, not defeated,
A promise of renewal,
With the warming sun.

BENJAMIN WALLIN

[not sure if he had a logo?]
 

ARTIST NAME: Benjamin Wallin
GENRE: Lo-fi Unblack Metal, Various
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: Unknown (USA possibly?)

This artist had songs in different styles. Unfortunately it seems most of his pages have been deleted so I can't find most of his other songs. Seems to have done a mix of Christian themes and horror fantasy themes, similar to other bands on here such as [Celestial Werewolves].

Note: I have no idea if [this song] is him or another person with the same name.

Lineup:
Benjamin Wallin - Vocals
not sure if other people did the instruments, or if he did them himself

Links:
SoundCloud

Discography:
Note: May have also released a song called "777 War" in a raw black style. Posted to YouTube 13 April 2019, length of 3 minutes and 31 seconds. The description cited Romans 10:9. I am currently unsure if this was him or somebody else.

Zombie Flesh (single, year unknown, Independent)
Format: Digital / ???

I don't have a precise year. This would have been released... sometime around 2015.

1) Zombie Flesh
track length unknown, lyrics:
Zombies, eat yourselves!
Zombies everywhere
They love to eat us from inside

They are in our souls
They kill without being seen
Zombies dwell inside us
And kill us everyday

Oh, we need Jesus
He is what we need

Zombies are inside of us
Before we come to Him,
Zombies eat our flesh
Zombies drag us down

But Christ lifts us back to our feet!
Zombies why don’t you kill yourselves?

Zombies, eat yourselves!
Zombies, you are dead
There is no life in you!
But I have Christ in me
He has destroyed my zombies
Zombies, I hate how you kill

Oh, we need Jesus
He is what we need

Zombies are inside of us
Before we come to Him,
Zombies eat our flesh
Zombies drag us down

I hate your will to destroy
Zombies when will you flee?
Zombies flee before Christ
Because He lives in me

Zombies why don’t you kill yourselves?
Zombies eat yourselves
Zombies, zombies, kill yourselves

Zombies, zombies
Come to Christ
Exchange death for life



Also released two songs on SoundCloud. Both with this artwork, and both uploaded on 13 January 2018:

- Betrayed of Love
3:30, lyrics:
Tonight my beautiful
I shall go away from you
Tonight my juvenile
I shall be stalling
From your own delusional

Solving this very mystery
Of love
Solving this mystery
Of God

Tonight you are a witness
Tonight no more demise
I will waste my breath on you
I will hunger my love for two

This night won’t last long
Into eternity we will belong
My love don’t you fret
Jesus will have a chance to meet you yet


- Undead Twilight
5:36, lyrics:
On a cold winter night
I freeze over hell's doors
Feeling your touch with my hands
I squeeze you very tight
Till all the blood drips on the floor

This very night love's first kiss
Is all but debris and demise
I hunger for your thirst
I bleed on your stomach
Even though it hurts

Tonight my first love will come rescue me
Tonight my first love will come find me

At love's first sight
I hunger at your warmth
With all my strength and might
Tonight we will dance
While hell freezes over that's right

Twilight in the undead winter
Twilight in the undead weather
I hover over your dead body
While I step onto the blood
Cold blooded pieces all into my liver

This night is so beautiful
This night is so tremendous
I wait till your hunger quenches
For my lungs will be filled with infections

At the end of it all
Tonight we won't stall
Loves first sight
I wish you were here
This very night

1) When the Sun Goes Down
7:05, lyrics:
The voice in my own head condemns me
Unworthy and weak, the thoughts keep me awake
You are gone in lucid dreams
The only place the past is erased
Don’t forget me like you resign your pain
When the sun goes down
Dreaming about the dark
Dreaming about the thought that you never wake up

The path in woods be followed
When the skies will fall
We will be finding each other
Where all has begun
The rain will stab us
And the dust will cover our remains
Then the death will come
Like a dream that just begun

Shadows will start
Spinning around my mind
Shadows will start
Spinning around my head
Don’t forget me like you resign your pain
When the sun goes down
I will see you
You will come along

The path in woods be followed
When the skies will fall
We will be finding each other
Where all has begun
The rain will stab us
And the dust will cover our remains
Then the death will come
Like a dream that just begun

ROTTING GOBLIN

BAND NAME: Rotting Goblin
GENRE: Black / Funeral Doom Metal
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: Unknown

I think this is a side project of slam/doom band Protector of Cherubim, but I'm not sure. If that does turn out to be right, then this would be a one-man project from California (USA).

Links:
YouTube (artist page, several bands)

Discography:


So far, two songs on YouTube, both posted on 9 November, 2023. The artwork for both is the same (picture above), just that one is cropped a little bit.

1) Years to God
Uploaded first
5:27, lyrics:
Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is.
 You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
even those who seem secure.

Psalms 39:4-5

2) Yearning the Holiness
Uploaded second
5:14, lyrics unknown
