lyrics

The shadow calls

Within my dreams, an unearthly wail
draws ever closer, entrancing me
It cries for blood, its eldritch thirst
unsatisfied

Madness devours me, escape my only end
A decision made in desperation
Ancient blood ritual, unholy magic seeded with
the lives of the wretched

"Mercy!"; their pathetic cry
The judgement passed: no quarter for a worthless life
Loathsome, their cowardice
Undignified in their death as they were alive

Paint the man, cut the lines
cut the flesh
Paint the man, cut the lines
let it come

Within my dreams, an unearthly wail
draws ever closer, entrancing me
it cries for blood; its eldritch thirst
unsatisfied

A realization
Of what I've become
The lives I've taken
To preserve my own
I must undo it all
Leave nothing behind
Erase the memories
Erase myself

Paint the man, cut the lines
Cut the flesh
Pain the man, cut the lines
Let it come

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williams

supported by 12 fans who also own “The Dark Descent”

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan

Distant Pixels
by Subnuba

supported by 12 fans who also own “The Dark Descent”

On ne pourra certainement pas reprocher à Subnuba de vouloir aller trop vite : si le groupe annonçait la sortie prochaine d'un album avec le single Ascending Light, Distant Pixel ne sortira que trois ans plus tard. Et à l'écoute de cette pépite, je dirai qu'on ne pourra pas reprocher grand-chose à Subnuba tout court. Le trio a travaillé d'arrache-pied et ça s'entend : le death metal technique est exceptionnel, aussi bourrin que fantastique avec ses arpèges électroniques de science-fiction ! Jordan Vauvert
