The Wanderer

Among worthlessness a glimmer remains
Hope faintly gleaming from an unreachable distance
And what if I fall short of capturing this solace?
For centuries I've stared, forlorn
Not a moment closer
Am I already left behind?
Has the light withered and died?
Away, take my soul far from here
I depart, leaving no trace of me
If I'm gone, no mark will remain
As there's nothing left of me to leave behind
No living being will remember my name
There are no songs to be sung for the nameless

Age Upon Age

Beneath this vision of beauty rests a tomb
The forgotten exalted laid to rest
But what of these gods will be remembered
When all has withered and gone?
No gods remain
Age upon age will slowly forget
So falls the rain
Washing clean the earth
Of those hiding from the truth
No gods are here
Nor were they there
But this beauty will always remain
As will death
Until the final sun has set
A bitter cruelty resounds through every sentient being
Don't mourn this passing
For they won't mourn you
As time obscures everything you once knew
Behold the dawning
Of a new age
Unwatched by the gods you hail
Time moves ever onwards with or without you
But this world sustains

"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...

Thunderous post-rock/post-metal from Thumos where every song feels gigantic, built around complex rhythms & arrangements.

The Endless Shadow of Despicable Power

This one-man band from the UK packs all of the same crushing doom and blackened doom fury as a 10-piece group.

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 14 fans who also own “Of Solitude and Solemn - 2018 Remaster”
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...
