Contagion I

|
The weeping gray, dripping miasma
The darkness swarms all around
In seething decay, revulsion of anima
Loathesome, maligned, you drown
We breathe the scent of freedom
From the rotting corpse of will
A feast of dreams to feed the slave
Who hungers for his fill
Endlessly they come, these despoilers
Sowing blight in ravenous tides
Peals of thunder announce a new reign
The RED torrents will wash away
ALL
Give up your gain, live as a Ghost
Subverted pain is innermost
For all
We rot within, we rot without,
We rot in Sin, we rot in doubt,
The stench of our contagion
Infecting all from birth
The choking death of ageless toil
And Torment on this Earth

Beyond Good and Evil
04:30
|
|||
|
We starve, devour;
We know, ignore;
We thirst and slake.
We live to take.
We breed, heed the call;
We rise, all will fall.
We seed unrefrained;
We heed no reins.
We hunt, exterminate
We scheme, manipulate.
We make our desire;
We build our pyre.

And She Wept
03:52
|
|||
|
Destroy a well of souls
abundance of death
battle takes tolls
in stolen breath
the only victor
is wealth, our dismay
And She Wept
I thought you'd fly so far above
The troubles of the Earth
Grew in gardens of my love,
Reminders what is worth
(Thought you'd fly so far above)
All of nature,
(The troubles of the Earth)
sons and daughters
(Grew in gardens of my love,)
poisoned by their
(Reminders what is worth)
tyrant fathers

The Core
04:49
|
|||
|
Cattle bleat apathy
A prayer to the wolves
Steel maws grip flesh
A hunger for the world
Hunters and hunted
All are one in war
The malicious
The ravenous
The numberless
Metal beasts at our Core
Feed on cowardice
On slavish ambition
Feed on avarice
On selfish sedition

The Sleeper Awakens
05:02
|
|||
|
Frozen in time
Hoar frost and rime
Deep dreams of love
Salted the earth
Souls lost in dearth
Wringing the dove
Wounded, we cry
Smoke in the sky
So far above
Terror at night
Wonder and fright
It scorches and burns
At every turn
Vengeful mistake
Ever too late
So far above
It begs and it pleads
Never sows seeds
Tools, plows, and swords
Exchanged for words
Scorn is my witness
Decrepitude, unfitness
Shattered, my faith
Lived as a wraith
Blackened, my heart
Playing my part
Thorns in my side
Taking their tithe
Revel in sorrow
Endless tomorrows
Shatter my gates
Before it's too late

Withering of Gaia
04:13
|
|||
|
Old wisdom forsaken
Ashen Snowfall
The skies weep
The bloodied rivers
Flow endlessly
The barren trees
Moan their ageless laments
For the Withering
Of Gaia

We wait in anguish
We pray our pain may fade

A Distant View

Words grew unspoken
I gave you my love
Now I am broken
As below, so above

Through Twilight...
by Winds of Sorrow
supported by 4 fans who also own “RUIN”
Winds of Sorrow est l'une des multiples facettes de l'artiste néo-zélandais Mort et aussi l'une des plus brèves puisque seul Through Twilight... naîtra sous ce patronyme. Mort part d'un bon concept, à savoir créer un doom metal/dungeon avec une emphase sur ce dernier, mais voit trop grand en visant le format de l'album alors qu'une démo était suffisante. Les atmosphères gothiques et parfois folkloriques sont envoûtantes mais couvrent trop une voix qu'on finit par oublier. Un album sympathique.

Very lush expansive doom, lots of different arrangements and choral vocals, slow and sad and full of regret. Extremely high quality stuff. Sounds like a life’s work. Also quite heavy.
