A wretched life, unwholly lived.
Drowning in the blackest of wings.
Thoughts lay besieged, baited and lured.
Distilled, given form, adroit, tenebrous.
A wretched life, unwholly lived.
Drowning in the blackest of wings.
A mirthless laugh, a clawed at scab,
dull distractions, dull distractions.
Sunless sail, wash over me,
too vast to see, billowing.
And lo, for the earth was void of form and shape,
and darkness was all over the face of the deep.
And we said,
Look at that fucker dance!
Come all ye hateful.

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
