Astral Bliss

At the borders of this material dimension there is a glowing corridor leading to the astral world
Mankind has fallen
Like serpents the spirits rest their fleshy shell, while the sculpture that portray the human race is burning
Free from veins and bones, transcending the spiral off this existence, I feel a rush of euphoria
Glorious harmonies from nowhere overrun my spirit to the infinite
At the borders of this material dimension i found a glowing corridor made of neverending cones of light
Man is dead and his god is dead

Life is Poison

They will never come back, they withered with time
Those wonderful instants that have fed my senses
So I chase my past jewels
Across a storm of thoughts and dreams
Why there is all this fog? and why it’s spreading around me?
I don’t feel as part of this sad world
So I chase my past jewels
Across a storm of thoughts and dreams
Nothing will ever come back in this physical world
Dreams fade away like ashes and dust

Love is Poison
05:51

|

|
Limping throught this empty ways shaped on my waverings
I collect the fragments of a broken poem
Our ancestors poets wrote their words with blood and poison generated by lost love
And their torn verses are resounding in me
Maybe these obscure paths can’t be illuminated at all
My forlorn spirit is longing for its missing part
Her substance doesn’t reach my soul
She’s so far
Our ancestors philosophers have learnt perfection from the world of ideas
But love is imperfect as me and you are
We’re so far

Transparent

Copper spirals blind my eyes and light up her waxy skin that my cold hands will never brush
Like ghostly matter you fade away
Like ghostly matter you melt your essence with my purest dreams
I’m closed in a room of glass
My fingers slip on the wall
I project my bloody heart outside my ligneous flesh
I’ll never grab your graceful hand
I’ll never kiss your liquid lips

Immense as the Universe

Have you ever watched the stars in the quiet of a silent night?
Have you ever been mesmerized by the moon?
Oh immense, oh eternal universe I contemplate your perfection
Oh gloom, oh cloudy night you’re sweet and peaceful as death
As a grain in the great cosmos my essence seems lost in this
celestial darkness
Pillars and pyramids of light cross my dead body, that I leave in this miasma of void
What if human race has never existed?
Would it be influential for this enormous galaxy?
Oh galaxy
I don’t belong to this World
As a grain in the great cosmos my essence seems lost in this
celestial darkness
Pillars and pyramids of light cross my dead body, that I leave in this miasma of void
In a blissful state of consciousness i see a floating spate of crimson vapor, moving in a circle like a slow charge
It appears as though that I’ve never been alive for real
In this sweet and somber night i admire the descent of life
I paint my memories on an ebony canvas
Oh mysterious, oh faraway constellations your lights absorb my spirit
As a grain in the great cosmos my essence seems lost in this
celestial darkness
Pillars and pyramids of light cross my dead body, that I leave in this miasma of void

Immense as the Ocean
09:00
|
|
||
|
No lights around me, nothing far to see There is just void and water
Piercing salt and gelid wind pass my bright spirit
Calm, deep and majestic Oh unchanging Ocean, let drown my dead body into your Immensity
A silent chant will guide my soul across the waves
Breaking the silence of this wonderful scenery
Coldness, painful coldness and no, no horizon ahead
Drowning in the darkness of the abyss
No lights, just some beams of moonlight that radiate the surface of the ocean
There is no bottom, only void and quiet waters
Feelings of fear and despair float like dead bodies, dancing in the night across the waves
While a frozen wind is blowing hard; like a voice who screams the arrival of a storm
Your soul is getting cold, your thoughts are falling
Beneath the surface, under pressure, everything sinks
Where mysterious creatures lives and forgotten dreams will fade
Cleanse your spirit with icy waters
Catch the hues beyond the gloom
Let the salt caress your skin, and let your soul dive through the fractures of the omnipotent seas
I emerge from this dark abyss and slowly vanish away
Whisper my name in the dark Feed the fire of my soul
I still feel your cold touch and your boiling blood

SVNTH Rome, Italy
Trippy and atmospheric soundscapes to transcend another dimension.
If you like SVNTH, you may also like:
Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur
supported by 9 fans who also own “Toward Akina”
After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful.

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 7 fans who also own “Toward Akina”
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...

Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite.

beneath.below.behold
by Antlers
supported by 6 fans who also own “Toward Akina”
We live in a horribly unjust world when a band as talented as Antlers releases two excellent albums (A Gaze Into the Abyss, and this one), and then disbands for whatever reason, while other bands that are objectively inferior continue to defecate sub-par album after sub-par album. Sigh. Anyway, as far as atmospheric and energetic black metal goes, full of quality riffing, soaring melodies, and thunderous yet varied drumming, beneath.below.behold is one of 2018’s very best.
