The scene before me
Cloaked in a bridal veil
Betrothed to the realms of memory
Bound to the musings of the philosopher
A gown of snow envelops the land
The flowers wear coats of white
Skyblossoms wed the horizon
Beneath morning dew, the berries hide
For winter is so long and cold
Father Sky has on this day
Shown perfection
Melting over pine needles
Snow falls in a dream
The cold whispers to your soul
Whispers in an ancient forgotten tongue
A freezing sigh, a wistful gust
Above, the old crow rests on the branch
He knows, has seen it all before
“Even a horse
arrests my eyes – on this
snowy morrow”
I only recently discovered Abstract Void with their excellent release Wishdream. I was so impressed I find myself working backward through the discography. This is lush, beautiful atmospheric blackgaze seamlessly melded with 80's inspired retrowave/synthwave Another spectacular album!! Jody B.
A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
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
When it comes to the "atmosphere" in "atmospheric black metal", this release probably succeeds the most in making me feel like i exist within this universe of music. domfabio
