lyrics

The stakes that lie before the grave
Tie our hands behind,
The flaking truths of man
And as we watch our roots decay
Sitting idly by,
We fail to understand.

How to fill the hole,
And embrace the heart
To shed the weight of autophagy.
Yet with a one-dimensional wisdom
We’d rebuke an infinite glory
Shrouding the light that’s faired all time

Below the shelter,
And above the heights
Of man’s guilded reach
We find a world disconnected

We’ve sown our seed in the spine of the earth
In an attempt to forge our own lines
Yet we’re treading past the point of return
Forming the unseen void

As the arrows of our ways sink beneath the skin,
The blood of our victims we find akin.
To ours to ours to our own

Then the blood flows
And we see ourselves for the first time
Why does the blood have to flow?
And stain the soul of the sum

We must abstain from the instigation
Before the air all life breathes
Is gone

To own
The world
Yet close
The door

We’ve sown our seed in the spine of the earth
Now we must erase the bold lines
In only peace may we return
To a world so warm

When love is the truth, it’s our light
The glowing gateway to the divine

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 333 fans who also own “THE ARROWS OF OUR WAYS”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Iris
by Altars of Grief

supported by 300 fans who also own “THE ARROWS OF OUR WAYS”

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. Matt Richardson

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 300 fans who also own “THE ARROWS OF OUR WAYS”

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... Jordan Vauvert

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! Dmitry Nevozhay
