Alejandro One of the best Atmospheric Doom Metal album. Favorite track: Sullen Man.

Bertrand Marchal Although the progress albums after albums is noticeable, each new one refining his take on epic Funerary death doom, this new album by Talsur is an epiphany to me: it is a massive and unexpected progression: full of brillant ideas, revealing a very inspired imagination that puts on a grand show - I admit I wouldn't have guessed he was capable of this.

wtfprototype The sombre tone of this plus the interspersing of string instruments is masterfully done, this is everything I wish for in Doom, melodic and crushing whilst maintaining that slow burn you can just sit and vibe to, I love the harsh vocals with the cleans, there's a nice mix of both that really just pulls me in Favorite track: The One Who Missed.

Alter Birth 13:18
Благословен будь, павший (Blessed be the fallen) Скорбью твой дух истлел (Your spirit has decayed with grief) Ведёт томленье дальше (Languor leads you further) Забытым предаёт тебя земле (Betrays you to the earth in oblivion) Within my time that going down with waters Accept my crime, my sin is my birth Was secluded in dark, was dead and free from dying Stolen from my murk. How long torture will be going? Don't want to be the witness of what was born from the fear Don't want to hear the answers. I don't want to know what they mean The ages die but fear born in them remains I could have tried to live regardless my pain Spiritus metu venenatis est Lux dispersa est I could have turned away my mind and soul to save But fear cripples and makes me watch The sewing threads of life pierce centuries with lie Unable accept the alter birth I can't erase things I have done in those old days I won't forget I have denied all different ways Alter birth - in yearning I'll never be the same Alter birth - I'm falling exhausted with my pain

Sullen Man 08:36
Life is deceive - never believe Blessed shall be the fallen one Anxiety tears soul apart Serenity's unreal makes me so blind Creation gift is running out The rise of yore defiled and drained I had my yearning, but now it's gone Loneliness swallowed and turned away from me I hate myself - I was another If I live once - I live for nothing Cursed by Death And blessed shall be the fallen one I live in darkness. I live alone I don't know kindness, I don't know love The Land of Dying is my own land Was born for crying the sullen man

Imagine the child who fearlessly drown in self-hatred Imagine the beast that gave birth to this creation of misery and pain Imagine the sound - the prayers so loud It's voice is so weak but still it weeps Let me turn off the light - it haunts me and scares Want to turn off the light - it hurts me and breaks Let me know who am I without these mirrors Please turn off the light I feel my guilt for you're not here no more Led through so much not even knowing Don't you want to hear these words again Don't you want to feel this shame It's like ripping mirrors off the wall when tears are falling and you ignore Innocent gift of Fate who cannot even hate like you can Don't you expect his righteous curse, just once again hear these words Let me turn off the light - can't take anymore Leave the darkness in sight - I saw it before Let me learn who am I - the soul of the damned But the soul is bright I feel my guilt for you're not here no more Led through so much not even knowing Forgive me when you see me to other side Forgive my tears In the dark my shadow flows away Depression is only thing to stay All my breath leaving Closer to soil praying to void Endless ocean takes me down In silent blackened depths feel the rest In the dark shadow flows, it flows away Depression is only thing to stay All my past leaving now Give me back my life Bring me back my bright life

Damnum plangite Dolorosi elegia Nothing left but misery The sadness reigns In the coffin made of steel My youth lays I feel my veins ceased to pulsate Cries broke my soul calling to the Fate As I followed my pain I've lost the way again I've seen all my mistakes through dark glass of today Though my eyes full of fear - I'm not afraid (no more) Though I'm lost - it's my own fault. I'll not forgive myself Sanctis lacrimis ex peccator tristis Dolor est soror ex purificationis So here I am - aligned with my mistakes I know that hope dies last, but surely dies All I have done will live within my pain As long as burn the flame inside my core And while I breathe - don't judge me for my fears My weakness saves my tears and helps me live I need you here - please let me know you hear Elegy of my grief - my cry for you

Dirge 02:41

You don't (you do not breathe) breathe And I remembered I can't (I cannot sleep) sleep Since you has gone You found (you found the rest) rest From tears and suffering which I took from you Ground embraced (embraced your soul) soul So young and innocent There is the world I dream which I don't want to leave There is the warmth I need so desperately The one I dared to love walks through meadows above The one who missed now rests in peace Tua ruina fregit A weak pale hand held a blade What have you done? What have you done? Why did you do it? What have you done to your innocent immortal soul? Your fall took life from you and broke me. My call remains unheard and weak Nemo vocem meam audiet The one I dared to love walks through meadows above The one I miss now rests in peace
7.
What will you regret on your deathbed Or will you fall asleep without pain Will you call someone to your deathbed And who will hear your silent praying Whose embrace would you call your shroud Is it destined to happen Warmth of hand before you lay in ground Is it destined to happen Who will you be on your last hour - who you wanted to be or who you were made Have you left a trace of yours in eternity's surround Or you will dissolve in it like the ashes in the ground Will raw ground rest your remains Saving you from wandering Your path shall be painful, tormenting Will it set you free from suffering Будешь ли ждать кого-то в предсмертном бреду (Will you be waiting for someone in a near-death delirium) Станет ли кто тебя провожать (Will someone say goodbye to you) Чьим объятиям суждено быть тебе саваном (Whose embrace is destined to become your shroud) Чью ладонь в агонии будешь сжимать (Whose palms will you squeeze in agony)
8.
Searching in the mire glimpse of lifeless fire Choking up with mist, drowning Tears without a sense, heart without defence Every part of me dying Life beneath the pain - glory and the shame Growing misery tortures I deny to choose life that I will lose Fill it with my pain for nothing For nothing left after me Mos mortem det tibi pacem? Begging to thee from underneath Wickening slough of all unkind Lacrimae tristitiae Lacrimae tristitiae Mourner weeps - light he keeps Bless the tears - sorrow fills Silent forgiving Peaceful departure Breath slowly leaving Deadly calm

about

In the end, there's always only darkness. Light is scattered in the dark, and it's born from it. An enveloping and inviolable canvas, which at first scares with its unconditionality. You can look for at least some semblance of light, or hope to find it. But only meekly and submissively accepting this all-encompassing darkness, getting lost in it like the ashes in the ground - only then the most naked and trembling nerve of life will rise in you. And maybe only darkness will become your companion in salvation from aching loneliness.

The seventh album was born due to many circumstances and people. If it weren't for serious changes in life and the world, perhaps it wouldn't exist. Words of the most sincere and indescribable gratitude to all those who were waiting for this release, and to those who happened to participate in its creation.

A special huge thanks to the people who taught me to appreciate time and changes, and therefore life itself:
Arseniy - for the formation of an internal reference point and the opening of new horizons in creativity;
To Alexey - for sensitivity and detailed understanding of music and denial of imposed boundaries;
To Elizaveta - for gigantic support in the most difficult moments of life and work, selfless help and unconditional faith.
