The Castle
05:00
|
|||
|
This godforsaken place
Holds its mysteries securely
And the gates are always closed
The castle waits for no guests
The gale howls its song
For the loopholes and the towers
If you wish to get inside
You will dance to its tune
All your nightmares
All your secret desires
All your nightmares
Are hidden behind its walls
So you brush your doubts aside
Ready to pay all costs
You assault it again and again
You have lost your mind
Trying to solve the absurd puzzle
You have lost your mind
And the castle stands still

Heartstrings
05:55
|
|||
|
A sphinx without a secret
Is staring in my eyes
A nameless poet
A useless hero
From the looking-glass
The void is watching me
In the looking-glass
The void is playing god
Eyes of my dream
Have tarnished long ago
Eyes of my dream
Reproach me from the mirror
Bound by the heartstrings we sway above
The abyss of non-existence
The snake is holding its tail in its mouth
Condemned to gorge itself forever
The clock counting our time has no hands
And so we always come on schedule
The circle is closed, the circle is complete
Complete like a loop around my neck
Bound by the heartstrings we sway above
The abyss of non-existence
And burn like pages of long-forgotten books
Profound and absurd

The Aspen And The Cross
05:28
|
|||
|
Play your role
You have no choice
Between the aspen and the cross
It’s all a game
Which we have to loose
You’ll be the victim
And I the traitor
The Calvary awaits you
And so is fated
I’ll rapture you there
With a kiss
Hear the screams
Of exulting huddle
They want to gnaw your flesh
And drink your blood
In the darkest night you prayed
To let this cup pass from you
In the dreadful night you were told
To rise and lead the Ship of Fools
You were so afraid of two days of death
I was sober and my death is eternal
You’ll be glorified as a Savior
The Light and Hope
I’ll be damned forever
As the father of all betrayers
They will die with your name on their lips
And you’ll solace them
Knowing that there is no salvation
Without a betrayal

Arrows
03:44
|
|||
|
The bowstring is tight
The arrows are ready to fly
The door is locked
No one will interfere
The door is locked and you have no spare time
You’ve done enough
To recognize defeat
You’ve done enough to face the precipice
The Western Lands
The magic lands
Are on your side
Just take a step
The first one penetrates your temple
But to your surprise you’re still alive
Everything was prepared well
So you reload the crossbow

November Ghosts
06:47
|
|||
|
We gaze into the lowering skies
And endlessly behold the clouds of dark
We dwell in each raindrop
Stitching up the tears in the autumn fog
Silently roving around the crowded streets
Unnoticed we watch you
Exposed to all the winds
We laugh with tempest
Can you see us
Dancing in the rain?
On close terms with death
In love with autumn
We spend our lives
In cold entrancement
On close terms with madness
We fade like visions
And turn into November ghosts
It’s insanity to have a hope
A hope to escape
We seek each other in memories like lovers
We meet each other in dreams and in these dreams we are free
All is broken
All is lost
You can change
Nothing
Trapped within your reveries
Don’t you see that they bury you alive?
Every moment is filled
With distress
And your questions
Never will be answered
Trapped within your reveries
Just join us and you’ll never be alone

Adrift
04:54
|
|||
|
Lifeless spaces
For miles and miles around
Boundless desert
Deaf and ruthless
Reckless screams sink in the roar of waves
Stricken boat drowns in the raging ocean
Adrift the tides
Carry a flimsy raft
The ships are passing by
Oblivious to it
Covered with sores
A lonesome man struggles for life
Beneath the sizzling sun
His fortitude is dying
Adrift the tides
Carry a hopeless soul
How long will you
Maintain sanity?

The Sentinel
04:53
|
|||
|
Hours and seconds
Years and aeons
Have no meaning
For the one who never sleeps
He stands ready
He stands alert
Keeping his eyes
Fixed on the door
The rusty steel is trembling
Unable to restrain
The nameless powers
From the other side
Chaos is erupting
And your weapons will be of no use
No resistance
No struggle
Fear holds you
In the iron claws
The madness roots
And dismay sprouts
Are growing
Behind the door
On both sides
You keep your guard
You keep your guard
And the door is inside you

The Murderer
06:24
|
|||
|
On the bed you flounce
Every night
Groaning in fright
Bawling in fury
Scoring your skin
You don’t know where it comes from
You don’t know for what sins
You suffer and your life
Has turned into an endless nightmare
You try to gather your strength
And pray to all the gods and saints
But every night your bed becomes a tool of torture
Red is the night
Red is the day
Red is the light
Red are the walls
Red is the ground
Red are your hands stained with blood
As you fall asleep
Beasts attack you
Lousy creatures
Stretch their paws
Over and over
You stab and cut
Until they transform to bleeding medley
The danger has passed
They lie motionless
But the terror increases again
Over and over you realize
That the ones you have slaughtered
Were the ones whom you loved

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 10 fans who also own “The Sentinel And The Murderer”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.

It's a cool journey. Beautiful atmospheric blackened doom ambient combo. Sometimes like Pink Floyd playing funeral doom. Hypnotic album from Hypnotic Dirge records. Wow!

Creepy, crushing symphonic metal from Öxxö Xööx, pitting sick riffs against eerie keys and organs.

From the shadows comes a new EP from Sweden’s De Arma, full of dark gothic majesty.
