Snakes for the Divine by High on Fire (E1-Entertainment) Standing with axe and war-hammer in hand, breathing hard and heavy, surrounded by the conquered bodies of my enemies and fallen comrades in battle, but the cool winds bite my face and run through my heavy fur cape as the bruised night sky dissipates... more
