The clock sound falls over us
Like strong hammer blows
Presage of a discouraging fate
Mere bones that time will show
An eternal regressive count
A movement that never ceases
Whose perception avoids our mind
While years blur before our eyes
We are barely a few seconds
Between a large sea of hours
Time claims everyone
In its constant fateful show
Like a neverending rite of cruelty acts
In a hopeless progression that will end with all
With its accurate advance towards the future
Beyond there only nothingness reigns
And no thing will be safe even the cosmos itself
Everything we know is doomed to be destroyed
Any trace of life will be erased by time
Nothing will remain the most absolute void
While each second falls in the middle of nowhere
The bell that constantly sounds heralds another loss

Decline

A lot of years have passed and barely life remains
Their essence shave been lost awaiting for nothing
The maelstrom of time caught all those bodies
Reducing them to a skin where only bones are left
Of them just one thing remains: a whisper,
A forgotten memory of a past that won't return
What does it matter what they were
If their minds need to betray them?
A self-deception that brings them closer
Tot he same place where they were born
Terrible withered shades, prisoners of their dusk
Carrying a gaze already blind, unable to find themselves
Now life doesn't have any sense but a long wait to be dust
Who do their thoughts serve for but to nothingness
To it will belong soon, like a unique entity
Eyes which soon won't see, please wait for us
Keep us in a place where wounds don't hurt

Visions of Absence
05:22

Between the night the lost are shown
There where our despondency sleeps
Hazy memories of confusing shapes
Of weak voices that were laid to rest
Shades of absence that revive the wounds
Whose flesh doesn't bleed until the silent dawn
Candles of pale reflection
Lights that veil the dreams
Pilgrims of the sleeplessness
In which every loss dwells
Their glances are nails that drive so deep
Along with all the words that were not said
All these brief laments are carried by the night
As unforgotten sights
Result of a past that will forever last along our path

Under the Cypress Shadow
07:38
|
|

A long shadow marks the place
Where the clock hands turn around
A corpse in an immovable hour
Whose life has reached its dusk
A shadow that gently swings
Constantly shoved by time and wind
A long and narrow black ditch
Corpses some vast stone woods
Of trees that are neither felt nor seen
A presence to remember what we are
Under those profound shades
Neither death will stay forever
In a lonely and melancholic rest
...And time keeps in its walk
Over a soil covered by leafs
In the distance a slender shape raises
Emerging from the deepest ground
From a place we still don't know
Where our bones will meet its roots
The shadows of time look for our flesh
Patiently waiting to be the honor guests
Maybe one day the cypress won't stand there
But along our entire life its shadow will stay

Silence
06:36
|
|
||

A profound silence bursts into the corrupt air
Like an outrageous noise sounding from the void
One last journey from human misery
In which the last remains await silently
There where the graves represent a comfort
Grief and solitude have overtaken their souls
In the ethereal contend
Between silence and themselves
Sadness only stays
Behind their cold graves
Doomed to leave alone to the land of the loss
An eternal permanence, waiting for no one
The lifeless hours where despondency sleeps
Trapped all those defeated while every day creeps
There's no success in a forbidden relief
That sorely confronts all those false beliefs
There are many oblivion heirs
Of which you are slave
So carry on hearing the silence
Of your forgotten grave
|

An impregnable crystal waits for us
And behind it only a reflection
A shaft of light that catches every one
In a glassy jail of souls
A place where life is only thoughts
And nothing is remembered
An image that exposes the misfortune
Along a transparent perspective
An extension of a pointless world
That mists with every gaze
And then we see our faces there
One last mirror reflects our fate
Those who see it are stalked by its beams
A terrifying vision, what it shows is so clear
After years wandering into fear
Without looking at themselves
Those mirrors we lost are still here
To reflect our fate

supported by 42 fans who also own “The Last Mirror”
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate
supported by 28 fans who also own “The Last Mirror”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.

The Enduring Spirit

The consistently excellent NYC death-doom dealers dole out another heaping helping of demonic growls and nasty riffs.

Otherworldly psychedelic guitar tone of wah-wah melo-riffing shines here. Unique sound. Unique avant-blackened-death band. Must have... Along with Veilburner - the best bands in genre
