lyrics

The encompassing trickle along the blood-dimmed tide
A forceful Death amongst the wayward souls

scourge the depths, the harrowing malice
waiting for the bow to crack

The piano plays a funereal tune
The final remnants of the origin of man
Spinning and weaving through the web
spinning and weaving, entwined in oneself
shrieking, wailing, desperate for salvation
I attest to this despair

These scars are bound by jagged corridors
Spilling out of my dark blank void!

Searching and searching, and unable to procure
a sigil beyond this figment
coarse sweat drowns all ambition
scrounging unto this barren wasteland
mourning the loss of that which never was!
mourning the loss of that which never was!

I call out to the vast firmament
In earnest, in suffering
Eternally drifting along this river of Nihil
Trapped within the grey prison of the mind

I ominously await the demise
the demise of all life
in the end there is that comfort
that it all meant nothing
that it all meant nothing

Greytomb recommends:

The Divine Light Of A New Sun
by NORSE

Norse, also from Australia, create some mind-bending music with an otherworldly atmosphere. It's dark, dissonant and eerie. It's possibly the best album of the year! Greytomb
go to album
Terra Inanis
by SOMNIUM NOX

Again from Australia, Somnium Nox create epic songs that are deeply memorable and even wistful. They have the perfect atmosphere that perfectly straddles extremity and melodies. Greytomb
go to album
Negative Atonal Dissonance
by MRTVI

For the adventurous, MRTVI's album comes recommended. Their brand of black metal is hitherto unheard of - it's virtually abstract, artistic and more importantly, intuitive. Greytomb

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-
