If there be anywhere so beautiful a thing as peaceful oblivion,
then please take me.
Banks of roses, shaded by cypreses,
and onwards we marched with godless intentions.
Through the mire, attending your footfall.
On the levees of which I would soon awake.
My shaken recollection is clouded and vague,
as I reply that I know nothing.
Basked in the bloom of ornamental adjectives.
Words help suspended in beads of amber.
For I love thee. O, Eternity!
O, Eternity!

At long last, I am into the somehwat more folky sound of Dawn Ray'd and now... I am full in! However, the reason why I stuck to them in the first place is their pull on political black metal for which I honor them a lot. 1312✊666
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022
