lyrics

Born from sacred empyrean rays
Blessed by a springtime deluge
Under starlight, amaranthine
A violet gem, in silent beauty

A drop of dew at dawn, a springtime blossom
Sunlight singing in harmony, with the waterfall’s cadence
A choir of splendour, perfect unity
A threnody for the departed petals

The furtive decay hath come this night
Under starlight, a lonely floral soldier stands tall

But the abyss-song calls long and sweet
Under moonlight, a cool wind steals away the last arboreal breath

Recall not bowed, resigned faces
Nor browned stems and withered anther
Forget not the scent of joy
And the inspiring amethyst buds within

Amaranth in title only, alas
Wither, sweetest calyx
At dawn, your sisters shall weep
And noiselessly croon your lilac legacy

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-

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

The Density Parameter
by Mesarthim

Dans The Density Parameter, Mesarthim reprend tous les ingrédients qui font leur marque de fabrique : des pistes assez longues au rythme énergique (très palpable sur "Recombination" par exemple) et jouant sur des structures cycliques, un chant qui erre parmi les étoiles... Les ambiances sont prolifiques mais elles changent la donne : gracieuses, certes, mais surtout plus mélancoliques qu'autrefois. The Density Parameter est un peu la dernière bouffée d'oxygène que donne la combinaison spatiale. Jordan Vauvert
