the blanket of anxiety
wraps around my shell
a crimson shade of silence surrounds us now
flowing rivers of pain, just visions...
of another time without misery or longing
i am still here in my palace of torment
lay my body to rest amongst the decaying roses of life
as the leaves fall so does my existence into rot
a lustre now lost, in remains bleakness and apathy
more drugs to ease this suffering, more alcohol to numb
desire and emotion
fading away into the warm embrace of nothing
I never lived...
One of my favorite albums. The instrumental is unique and the drums, even though "messy", fit perfectly with all the other elements. It's practically a bad trip, where you can see melancholic scenes and even feel nostalgic as the album progress. Cestrum Nocturnalis
Scorching black metal from Houston, featuring members of Night Cobra, Oceans of Slumber, Venomous Maximus, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 7, 2023
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
