about

"The Death Of Dying"

lyrics

Days full of doubt, nights full of sorrow
...it will all end now.
Don't you stand at my grave, waiting,
for I will not be there.

I never wanted what life wanted from me
I never wanted what life gave to me
This beautiful lie of a mother's womb -
the pious trick, for it's the tomb.

Just like the small shadows,
hissing across the lawn
only to get lost in the sunset,
no two times are alike,
no two fates are the same.
We are the first to fall.

Salvation waits for noone and soon
I will forget that the world has forgotten about me.

Weathered consoler, hideous to behold
Gaunt immortality in black and gold.
I don't want to know what's on the other side.

What's lost in the fire I will find in the ashes
of who I used to be, for now I am settled in a world
where it's always dead with darkness
and alive with light.

"It is not to be thought that the life of darkness is sunk in misery and lost as if in sorrowing. There is no sorrowing. For sorrow is a thing that is swallowed up in death, and death and dying are the very life of the darkness." (J.Boehme in C.McCarthy's Blood Meridian)

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. Metallurgical Fire

Algleymi
by Misþyrming

supported by 209 fans who also own “Rats Gorged The Moon...And All Fell Silent”

Tout est une question de perspective. En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert
