YomaBarr This apparently will be a Doom and Death Day with the Rothadas full length out, so high time to catch up with this one too. Should have done this long ago.
Genre: poignant doomdeath. Love me some acoustic in my metal.

sujammas This is so stellar that I bought it before I even finished listening to the whole album. Really can't get enough. Favorite track: The Borrower.

Tyler Brooks One part Morgion and one part Evoken, this is some of the finest Doom/Death ive heard in years. This will, without a doubt, make its way to my year end list. Favorite track: Oracular.

A wavering wind Sighs feebly Upon its fell breath Lies a tarnished message The endless fields of dust Bespoke their dreary fate The towers that seek to stand tall Like those before them, are swept away All the churning struggle against ruin All the tumultuous yearning For a hollow hope; The mountains will crumble And in damning certainty Those very same winds Will halt for no cause Silent are the eyes Who watch with apathy The undoing of worlds Respite will never come As the tide sweeps away your kingdoms The emperors of ash Standing in dire ceremony Behold once again Those inexorable fields, Those distant spires And stand silent As the shroud descends And are forgotten again The fading wisp dies And ascends in death's climb And so, the end of all things, A glimmer in the sky

The Borrower 10:37
A vast serpent drifts Through a silent sea In search of its prey A life-bearing star Serene and sinless In ethereal grace Its swirling form Encircles the sun Within its cavernous maw Our flame is sundered Darkness takes hold In a wave of freezing cold Yet perched atop its smouldering throne The borrower in profane majesty Detects the scent of sweet sentient life And turns to gaze earthward See the solar traces Scattered across a black sky And projected upon it A serpentine eclipse approaches Borrower, hollower, soul siphon In unknowing malice Eradicates the future Absorbing all momentum Reversal of potential It breaks the threads of time And drinks of our life's warmth Our final offering, a gift of mortality Bleed, drain, weaken, crumble Deathless wretches cursed to wander A barren sunless wasteland Perpetually drowning In a frozen rain

In the ashen sphere Laden by phantom weight The befallen and bygone Tread midst their trampled fate Those begrieved seekers Weep to the hollow fathers Plead their yearning questions Wail, in your burden Your rivers will dry Wither, and die And your leavings that remain Begin to fade thereby Haughty figures loom Aloft in tarnished chain Curators of the wretch Shepherds midst the gloom In twilight can oft be seen A violet twinge Yonder, in void's stead Bringing old memory Imparted unto those fallen And with it comes The remembrance of millennia Served as frail spectres A shadow, of some long forgotten past And just as soon begins to fade that light As does your virtue begin to waste away Returned to that heedless void Wherein you dwell indefinitely Yet still trudge Your hunched forms Yet still forlorn Does your soul continue Waste away in the waning light Withered years

Oracular 12:02
I have dreamed In fevered mystic sleep Of a darkness beyond the material I hear old whispers speak Of the oracles' lonely peak Where the beacon of black wisdom burns I know not why I am drawn inexorably Toward the deserts and the plains To seek some profane truth I beg release From this accursed destiny And I'm answered only by wind Carried in dream Upon those vile winds My translucent form In twilight's embrace Traverses the threshold Atop the dire pillar Cloaked in a clouded haze A ghostly audience Receives my frail self Upon the throne A pact is forged Twilight is absorbed And thus they bestowed Unto one such as me And I drank of their knowledge Now I have seen All eventualities And they all end in darkness

about
