Mistral
05:12
|
|||
|
Nothing stays the same
water flows over stones,
everything moves away
entropy enthroned.
One day you too will know
grief's embrace
and stray through
lost lands
half forgotten
opaque recollections -
they drift in like timber
or floating worlds of plasma,
through temporal portals
that manifest when you are still
Crows wheel above the epoch,
footprints on empty plains
shall be covered with
a thousand layers of dust,
Staircases shall burgeon
climbing vines,
a grin splits the cloud for a second -
we're still running.
Despite already being dead
A lucid breath hits the mistral
like feathers ripped from the fallen one,
lapsed convictions congregate
in the flagstone cracks,
ground into acquiescence
Under a giant's glare:
the fear beyond horizons,
the wolves kill the children
who wander too far.
That is our sacrifice,
bones of truth
forever.

Built to display,
show the danger,
the grain of persuasion
stuffed with all of your fears.
No exit from this;
just a line separating
earth from air.
I cannot turn away.
The intricacies of seasons
interplay, reflecting
the rot upon my face;
an unchosen fate -
bloodless I stand
arms outstretched,
greetings cause despair
and in the distance...
I hear the rifle and the song
ringing out in unison.
I cannot turn away,
and when your seeds have failed
I will be dismantled
and shoulder the blame.
Charred remains
observe another blind watcher
standing stoic in the field
stuffed with all of your fears.
Cannot turn away.

Twisting
06:20
|
|||
|
Upon the shore,
I saw you
as water between the stones
flowing outward
to the ash-dimmed sky,
the hot coals of stars
balanced, reflecting
from your movements
dance in the ebb and flow.
A steady step,
a cloven hoof,
a black cloak
flows around you.
Twisting like the undertow
clinging to a body's mass
that has lost the battle
upon the timeless stones
of the shore, tides retreat
to reveal dead remains
borne upon the freezing sand,
floating in the ocean mist.
Twisting like the undertow
upon the timeless stones
Flowing outward
to the ash-dimmed sky
balanced, reflecting
in your movements
upon the shore
a slow, wading gradient,
the rust of a blade recovered,
stepping towards a weightless state
where light itself is no-more.
Upon the shore.

Far Within Us
04:43
|
|||
|
The waxen night is beginning
to char the fingers of dawn
the night seems to be
running out of darkness
steel branches grasp
at the arms of passers-by
only anonymous furnaces
are free
are free to walk the streets
which cut across our sleeplessness,
who's free to walk the streets
which cut across our sleeplessness?
In the gutters our stars decline.
From the marks upon my brow
you watch until day breaks,
upon our expressions;
afterglow of gestures.

Blood Valley Echoes
08:00
|
|||
|
Incomplete
the blooms will fall
your eyes are poison
in the evening, dusk
filling the valleys
with blood
or the echoes
of resentment.
A system half explained,
my limbs exhausted,
our bodies draped in
robes of air.
The sun is cold
somehow
disheartened.
Our words could never halt the waves
the directions remain
I would like to remember
faces in the dark
gathered by the dying fire.
We are weary, we are poisoned and
incomplete.
The sun is cold
somehow
disheartened.
Incomplete
the blooms will fall
your eyes are poison
in the evening, dusk
filling the valleys
with blood
filling the valleys
with blood.

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral...

Planet Nine (E.P.)
by Mesarthim
supported by 12 fans who also own “Far Within Us”
Quand Mesarthim envoie ses transmissions vers la Terre, nous sommes face à un événement musical d'envergure planétaire. Planet Nine concentre ce que Mesarthim sait faire de mieux et part même beaucoup plus loin : entre le morceau éponyme, tout en variations, qui se permet une petite incursion dans la musique electro (presque psytrance) et "Burial" qui a joue sur des solos de guitares exceptionnels, on est témoin de la fine fleur du black metal atmosphérique et cosmique. Que demander de plus ?
