I drift into luciferous darkness
And kiss the blithesome aeons of quietude
A wounded cupid passes saddened by, dead in the winds eye
O, blood, blood, blood...
...I bath in the sea of vengeance
And conquer cupidity by making the leviathan bleed
I am the wraith in the woebegone guise... lost in the reverie
I mock mortality and as I open my eyes, Ah... I behold thee
The aeons of prophane immortality annihilates the mournful impact
I kiss the woebegone flesh goodbye in life's final act
Oh, exquisite star in the passionate darkness
I love thee... fair temptress
Enslavement of Beauty is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band formed in January 1995 by Ole Alexander Myrholt (vocals and lyrics) and Tony Eugene Tunheim (guitars and composing). Over the following years, the band composed and recorded material, developing their unique expression. In the summer of 1998, Enslavement of Beauty recorded the demo CD "Devilry and Temptation", which led to a deal with Head Not Found/Voices of Wonder. This resulted in the 1999 release "Traces O' Red", which received very positive response. In November 2000, the band returned to the studio to record their second album, "Megalomania", joined by drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar/Spiral Architect) and bassist Hans-Aage Holmen. In 2007, the third album, "Mere Contemplations", was successfully released with the I.N.R.I. Unlimited label. Musically, the band still sounds very melodic and deeply inspired by classical music but with a sharper metal edge and a truly hell-bent rock 'n' roll attitude. Lyrically Enslavement of Beauty takes a more direct approach but is still highly influenced by the poetic beauty of William Shakespeare and Marquis De Sade's works.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
