lyrics

Northern winds call me home
But not without a gentle caress of the flowing stream
A hearth beckons to lay nearest a sleeping child
While the morning summer rain gently knocks the oak door down

The winter howled not unlike the stars in the void
The shrine of the ancients stood so tall
Proud, like mountains tearing the grey and eternal sky

Oh, how I long for a taste of hyperborea
Longing the soft and nocturnal whispers of time
The cosmic dance of my family
Painting fire on the night sky

For I am the son of a thousand farmers
Tending the land of their ancestors
What greater life is there than the hunt
And somber collection of stones for the harvest

The candle's idle kiss warms the ice above the hearth
Slowly, they glide towards the stone floor
Like tears they cascade, leaving marks on the pine wood

Oh, how I yearn for a home nearest the sea
Where my fathers have laid rest their weary bones
How I ache for a time to pass
Where I may join them in another age

The Density Parameter
by Mesarthim

supported by 34 fans who also own “Edges of the Earth”

Dans The Density Parameter, Mesarthim reprend tous les ingrédients qui font leur marque de fabrique : des pistes assez longues au rythme énergique (très palpable sur "Recombination" par exemple) et jouant sur des structures cycliques, un chant qui erre parmi les étoiles... Les ambiances sont prolifiques mais elles changent la donne : gracieuses, certes, mais surtout plus mélancoliques qu'autrefois. The Density Parameter est un peu la dernière bouffée d'oxygène que donne la combinaison spatiale. Jordan Vauvert

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 33 fans who also own “Edges of the Earth”

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

Trisagion
by Ethereal Shroud

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
