Kensti hern dan neshume Can you hear your soul Inter vildgroz Under weeds Vi s’shtrekn oys di baymers vortzln? Roots of trees stretch out Zing mit indz. Sing with us Di shirim fin indzere uves The songs of our ancestors Hilkhen up in di hailike velder Fill the holy forests Vi shekhines hartzklap As Shekhina’s heartbeat Loyft in indzere uderen Runs in our veins Mir veln darfn mutkayt We will need courage Tzi brenen vi shtirkatzn To burn like torches In der nakht. In the night Zay planeven gevalt They plan violence Bays s’brenen veltn. While worlds burn Hant ba nakht Tonight zikhn mir fin a nayem morgn We search for a new morning

A reve af Kishef A howl of sorcery In an igil fin baymer. In a circle of trees hant ba nakht iz a shvartzer nepl du faran. There is a black fog tonight Er redt tsi mir It speaks to me Ikh zey a shmitziker mizbayekh I see a spoiled altar Fin an aybikn ritual. Of an eternal ritual Beshas di levune zingt While the moon sings Gedenk ikh mahne khaloymes I remember my dreams Gedikhter roykh haybt zikh auf Thick smoke rises In dershtikt di lift, And chokes the air ikh ver avec di trugt (dertrogt?) tsvishn I drift between Lebn in toyt life and death Trink ikh fin der levune in halbnakht I drink from the moon at midnight In der mokh est dos flash And the moss eats my flesh Der vald dervekt zikh The world awakens Mit a kavune with one intention An aybiker ritual an eternal ritual Fin lebn in toyt of life and death

Ikh bin geven gesholten I was cursed Der himl hot geshrign man numen The skies screamed my name Tsebrokhn, ikh hob zikh gevalgert Broken, I wandered Biz ikh hob gezen a beyzvunder. Until I saw something dreadful Ikh bin ufgeshvakht gevorn I was weakened fin an aybiker vund With an eternal wound fin an aybiker vund With an eternal wound Ikh voye Blind in toyb Blind and deaf, I howl Ikh voye I howl Ikh voye I howl Bizn sof fin tsat until the end of time Mit blitike hent with bleeding hands hob ikh ufgekletert azh biz himl I climbed up to heaven Mit shvartze lingen with black lungs hob ikh geshvumen tzi dno finem yam I swam to the bottom of the ocean uptsugefinen dort man kol To find my voice man kol my voice Vet man tsorn mikh gekoylet? Will my rage be the death of me? vel ikh oys gelushn veren Will I be extinguished In shvimen tsvishn shtern And swim in the stars Vi di shvartskayt est dos alts Where the blackness consumes all In vi got ken mir nisht zen Where god cannot find me Shvartskayt vert pistkayt darkness becomes emptiness

Shtayt uf, shaydin in elohim. Rise ghosts and gods Intern moyled redn di toyte The dead speak under the new moon Di heyln hoylen inter dem shvartzn himl The caves howl under black skies Di vortsln mit der erd zey kenen dos lid The roots & earth know the song Di verter fin kadmoynem The lyrics from the ancient time Dem volf’s gehoyl, dem rob’s geshray The wolfs howl, the raven’s cry In a khmare fin roykh In a cloud of smoke Zet di makhshayfe The witch sees Dem khilul hashem fin Sho’elen Saul’s desecration Alkayn, der tsorn fin got And for this, the rage of god Alkayn, der armey’s farnikhtung the army’s destruction, Alkayn, der toyt fin zan zin the death of his son. Shtayt uf, shaydin in elohim. Rise ghosts and gods Intern moyled redn di toyte Dead speak under the new moon Di heyln hoylen inter dem shvartzn himl The caves howl under black skies Hot sho’el genimen And Saul took di shverd in iz aroyfgefaln His sword and fell ohf ir on it

For I am sated with misfortune; I am at the brink of Sheol I am numbered with those who go down to the Pit; I am a helpless man abandoned among the dead, like bodies lying in the grave of whom you are mindful no more, and who are cut off from your care. You have put me at the bottom of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths. For I am sated with misfortune; I am at the brink of Sheol.

about

Aybiker Ritual (Yiddish for "Eternal Ritual") is at once a morbid, mystical, true-to-form black metal album, and a trans-cultural, subversive exploration of Ashkenazi Judaism in a heretofore unexplored manner.

Akloleh, a mysterious new project in the worlds of both metal and Yiddish music, unites text from biblical sources, Yiddish Poetry, and his own new writings to form the first authentic Yiddish extreme metal project ever.

This is music that must be heard to be believed. Music for fans of black metal, who are open and curious about the range of expression the form affords creative and talented people, and also music for lovers of Yiddish and Ashkenazi culture who are open to hearing sounds, the likes of which they have never heard before.
