lyrics

With every passing day
I’ve endured my mistakes
And cursed the failing light
That is should forever fade
I stand now in the ashes
Of a world become a tomb
Every thought, another grave
Interred with memories of you

Bury me in my agony
Drown me underneath all that I’ve lost

I’ve grown tired of the light
Of holding on to ghosts
And longing for lost days
I’m faced with my failures
When I close my eyes
I’ll pray for all of this to end

Lowered down
Into the waiting Earth
A veil of soil
Concealing your pain
One day
I can only pray
That time corrodes
This memory of you

Cast away
From this grey world
Into oblivion
And constellations
Take this Earth
From beneath me
“Iris!”
“Please, come back to me!”

“Come back to me!”

I’ve grown tired of the light
Of holding on to ghosts
And, longing for lost days
I’m faced with my failures
When I close my eyes
I’ll pray for all of this to end

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 59 fans who also own “Broken Hymns”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 52 fans who also own “Broken Hymns”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Esoteric Malacology

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
