The use of physical totems or repositories of power has always been central to the ritual process; there is a two-way flow of potential between the actor and the object, whereby the object, which has a certain mystical, semantic, ritual, etc. significance, makes its inherent power available to the wielder (who is esoterically worthy of it, ie., has prepared his environment and himself through acts of purification, defilement, arrangement, etc., such that he is in a state of eligibility of the fetish object), and at the same time through incantation, gesture, and the performance of prescribed rites the actor imbues the object at the center of the rite _with_ significance and indeed legitimizes it as an element within the ontology of the belief system in question.

lyrics
All in the grey time
Our waxen faces, our possessors
And we, the dispossessed
Torn to shreds by airy fingers
And so I rot
Ghosts walk slow, impel my death
I'm burnt to dust by your red run
Five leagues of blood churning
Walking through the desert
Don’t cry, don’t cry, child
Thorns in my skin burning
Hanging by skin barely
Death comes in winds blowing
Eaten by dying red times
Forsaken slowly
Rot
Twisting, I rot
Hanging, I rot
Rot
A plague of beetles
Burn me
All in the grey time
Our waxen faces, our possessors
And we, the dispossessed
Torn to shreds by bloody fingers
And so I rot
I never dreamed, I never wept
Burnt to dust by your red sun
Gathered, the great nations
Walking through the desert
I saw the face of God
Breathe in, the dust feeds me
Gathered, the great nations
Can’t undo what death has done
Masters, can you hear me
Burnt by your sun
Burn me
Rot

I saw these lads performing at the Brightside in Brisbane, with Blood Incantation. They slapped hard, tight as a nun's butthole. Played the whole show the day of the heatwave in 40 degrees and broken A/C, hot AF but they delivered, and more. BI drummer called it quits 3/4 through the show, not them. Def stole the show. alexatl
