Eventless Horizon

I have grown so tired of this world
The monotony of being, the stillness of time
Exhausted by the dreary days
That force a gaze upon myself
The breaking wheel of ceaseless sorrow
To which we are strapped and bound
With lashes of an empty madness
That tear the flesh away from bone
All the perversions of our kind
They sit as stones upon my chest
Dragging me down the final length
Of cord from which my pain was born
A birth which I dare not to blame
For fear of what the walls may echo
As preached dementia in my ear
Deafening my slowly ending heart
The pain is this, our haunted life
Casting shadows out of the mire
I have grown so tired of this earth
The eventless horizon at edge of sight
The pain is this, these wasted words
Spent searching for a restless grave

Wayside

I have fallen too many times
To simply dust off this coat of mine
By the wayside, far from the light
But I still hold, I hold the line
I have committed too many crimes
To not be able to see the signs
Yet I can't walk off into the night
Because I still hold, I hold the line
For those I love and pray to keep
For them who would be there to weep
When I smile with final jest
And at last lay my mind to rest
I have born far too much pain
To ever feel whole again
Broken fragments, scattered soul
When all is done, we pay the toll
For whatever we have done
No matter how far we run
We're overtaken in the chase
Stumble into empty space
I have fallen too many times
To simply dust off this coat of mine
By the wayside, far from the light
But I still hold, I hold the line
I have seen too many things
To still believe that it's alright
Yet I can't walk off into the night
Because I still hold, I hold the line
For those I love and pray to keep
For them who would be there to weep
When I smile with final glee
And let this life pass on by me

The Dead Trees

The snows hits the land
By the whim of a hand
Seasons have changed again
Yet I cast off the brand
Where the frozen trees stand
Past shall forever remain
I remember it well
The first time I fell
Into eyes, clear and bright
Yet heard the knell
As we approached hell
And were left in the darkest night
Slowly through the years
Beds became biers
Were the sun was always spurned
And raindrops like tears
In a sob no one hears
Ensured the hearth no longer burned
Now we have grown cold
Dim, distant and old
Still your eyes are such a sight
I so wish I could hold
But they are not mine, so I am told
Another fell into their light
The frost maims the land
By the slight of your hand
Seasons have changed again
Yet I cast off your brand
Where the dead trees they stand
My life shall forever remain

To Hell...

I’ve been living off black coffee
Off morphine and my fears
Well it seems like only yesterday
Though I’m guessing it’s been years
I am sick of all these shadows
And those voices in my head
If I have to see your face again
I would rather just be dead
So I am sitting here alone again
Just staring into space
And all the hopes I ever had
Have gone without a trace
C’mon and burn with me in hell
I’ve been living off black coffee
Off morphine and my fears
Well it seems like only yesterday
Though I’m guessing it’s been years
I am sick of all these shadows
And those voices in my head
If I have to see your face again
I would rather just be dead
So I am sitting here alone again
Just staring into space
And all the hopes I ever had
Have gone without a trace
C’mon and burn with me in hell
So I am sitting here alone again
Just staring into space
And all the hopes I ever had
Have gone without a trace
C’mon and burn with me in hell
Now it seems I’m out of coffee
And I can hear that graveyard bell
This life was never meant for me
So I guess it’s just as well
C’mon and burn with me in hell

Aquilus took a decade off and came back like he never left! Bellum I is yet another piece of beautiful melodic black metal mixed with classical and folk that makes you wanna dance naked in a forest somewhere. The natural sounding production increases the atmosphere heavily. Griseus is a monumental black metal album for me but Bellum I isn't far behind. Can't wait for II!

Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur
supported by 4 fans who also own “Dead Trees”
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.

Saw them live and was taken away! Breath taking melodic black at its best. Just a deep dive into Nirvana 🖤
