This was on Bandcamp at some point. Released no later than 27 January, 2023. I don't have any more info about it, other than it was released before the project started doing black metal. The URL says "album" rather than "track", but that doesn't really mean much; it could be 2 songs or 100. It's even common for artists to select the "album" option on Bandcamp, but still only upload a single track to it. So nothing is really set in stone here yet.
Split with Rejoice in Our Suffering and Oak of Weeping.
Also set for a release on streaming sites.
The artist gives some additional context in the notes:
“You laid affliction upon our backs” as described in Psalm 66:11 is explaining in a broader sense to the passage God’s refinement process for His people. It’s to remind us as Christians that [trials] are not meaningless. God uses hardships to shape our character, increase our faith, and bring ultimate restoration through Christ Jesus who laid His own life for our sins.
1) Alaretin - Psalm 66 - How Awesome Is He
6:52, lyrics:
Make a joyful noise unto God,
all you lands praise!
Sing forth the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious
Psalm 66: 1-2 (KJV)
Say to God, ‘How awesome are your works!
Through the greatness of your power,
your enemies will submit themselves to You’
All the earth will worship You; they will sing praises to Your name!
Psalm 66: 3-4 (KJV)
O Bless our God, you people, and make the voice of His praise be heard!
He holds our soul in life and does not allow our feet to be moved
For you, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined
You brought us into the net; You laid affliction upon our backs
Psalm 66: 8-11 (KJV)
My own strength does not yield the proof that I can do
anything without You!
Who am I on my own? But a sinner struggling with the ways of this world;
Lord your strength prevails!
The awe-inspired moment captures my soul knowing that
Jesus Christ died so we all can live!
Apart from You O Lord this world would be crushed; You
are the only light that shows the way!
O Bless our God, you people, and make the voice of His praise be heard!
He holds our soul in life and does not allow our feet to be moved
For you, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined
You brought us into the net; You laid affliction upon our backs
Psalm 66: 8-11 (KJV)
Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for me, for you and for this world – Psalm 66:16 (KJV)
Come and hear, all you who do not know THE LORD! His might conquers all,
His love, mercy and grace permeates the breadth of this universe
O Bless our God, you people, and make the voice of His praise be heard!
He holds our soul in life and does not allow our feet to be moved
Psalm 66:8-9 (KJV)
Death by Fire (album, UPCOMING)
Format: Digital (not sure about others yet)
A [34-second teaser] was uploaded on 29 January, 2025. I don't know if the song is called "Death by Fire" or if that's just a reference to the album title.
