Stellar Crown

|
I've seen through the Eye of God,
Such things, prodigious remains,
Radiant signs from our future
All alone
For years I’ve followed Their call
Here I came
Where truth is hidden in the dark
Just like a dream…
A wonderful piece lighting up
Like a-diamond-set stellar crown
Now we are drifting to the well,
Pulled by its crushing gravity
Endless fall
Borders get lost into the far gas clouds
The artefact has trapped our fate
Guide of this ruined vessel
I cursed my stolen childhood
All alone
Holding your life in my hands
Here I came
Their voice's never been so loud
Our lives may not be in vain

Havoc
04:39

|
Feel Their sway interfere in your soul
Let yourself broaden your consciousness
Embrace death
What happens to the stars ?
Pale, so deadly pale, pulsing with a grim light
Drained of energy, they dim into the coldness
Cold, so deadly cold, going their own way
Those black entities ravage our whole universe
How much time before the lights go out ?

The Great Achievement
05:14
|
|||
|
Oh, what is that glow ?
Lights appear… Worlds
Perfect machinery carried through time and space
You handled suns, played with matter
Forging in stellar fire the final masterpiece
You’ve built a gate to this strange place
Oh...
Twisting flows of particles,
It opens a secret path woven through the emptiness
We’d flee this mortal feast,
Escape from darkening,
and there begin again

Progeny
04:11
|
|||
|
Something there is moving,
In this sky approaching
A shining sphere so unreal
Arcane silhouettes against light
Shatter all your beliefs
Watch Us, whom do you see ?
I feel the youth inside me
Recognise You my offspring
Follow yoru life instinct
Accept to give Us birth

The Black Veil
04:50
|
|||
|
One more star fails, devoured from within
Stellar vampires carry out their work
Turning our homes into a barren world
A black veil spreading
Night
The time erased
We lose our flames, our origins
Doomed fate
Tell us does our sun has already died ?
Lost sense
Tell us does our sun has already died ?
One more star fails, devoured from within
In this fight for life, we’ll give up our place
The black veil spreading

Pulsing Worlds
06:13
|
|||
|
You got me this far
To find truth and cry
Then turn my eyes away
We were kings on our thrones far too sure of ourselves
Proclaiming our power on each world that we reached
Blind to the signs around that something was changing,
committing sin of pride, until we met You here
O the moment of truth when we finally see
All these stars, our beacons, weakening and die
This space seems so quiet
Bathed in a soft warming light
See the majestic nebula
Worlds pulsing in perfect harmony
Can you feel the breath of those clouds ?
All There is alive, so alive
Worlds pulsing in perfect harmony

Farewell
06:44
|
|||
|
A last look at the sky
Thus ends human adventure in universe
And life as we knew it dies
All’s left to those insensible beings
Abandon, fly away
Now that we're leaving this dark Eden
Then we realize how ours it was
O stars, goodbye
Through the artefact we've seen a glimpse of our new future
Giving you birth, lay down foundations of Your blooming
To build the time loop and save us all
A last look at the sky
My Child, need your hand to take the plunge

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again. I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom.

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 14 fans who also own “L'Adieu aux Etoiles”
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...

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...

It's very atmospheric, with a lot of feeling, and that old school vibe, like one of my favorite albums "Always" from "The Gathering".
