Iron_T This is so perfect, I don’t usually love music by solo artists cos I appreciate the variety that is introduced by other musicians. But in this case everything is so perfect that I Imagine the input of others would have thrown a spanner in the works.

I really love this. It sounds like my favourite band Anathema.

sabrutin I checked this album out almost for accident on YouTube. I wasn't expecting anything and honestly the "one-man extreme metal bandcamp project" thing always worries me. But it turns out that I found a real gem here. Very good taste for melody and atmosphere without forgetting to bring heaviness too. I'm impressed. Favorite track: Funeral Waltz.

Thochsten Gigantic leap from "Inanitas" to "Slough of despond", funeral / nautic doom as its best! You are sailing into the depth of sorrow, following the mighty AHAB (hopefully) to the top! Perfect combination of crowls / clean vocals and harmonies / all destroying riffs. Please stay on this course! Favorite track: The Ravensong.

Am I sleep? Am I dead? Suicide in my head. Empty world full of doom. Song is sung, but for whom? Nocturnal tragedy, speechless grief. That he could not believe. A lonely moan from blackened soul. The lifeless love of lonesome crow. The river gives her cold embrace to Swan. My fearful flight will never end. Eternal grief reminds me of my suffer. I can't believe my Swan is dead. Alone. Ravensong to the Swan She will not hear. She's so far in the dark. She is not here. Not here. She's gone. Away. Now I'm alone. The lonesome crow flies to the light, Don't want believe this life.

Seas of Doom 09:34
World - just water around. Can't see the ground. Cold deceptive light. Nowhere to hide. I have no more regrets. No any sense. Death. Suicide is near. Nothing to fear. Grave. Ocean is my grave. Funeral wave. Sky is crying by the rain. Life was in vain. Voices around are just whispers of Fate. Violent Fate. Death. Save me, lovely death. Take my last breath. Loneliness. One word that drives insane. Bottomless ocean is full of pain. Nothing left, even the light of moon. It's too late, around me seas of doom. Coffins with hopes and dreams Are on the darkest ship. It swims away through mist. I tearful wish to weep. Nobody hears, nobody cares.

White Widow 08:21
Open your eyes, she stands in front of you Staring at you with look of pain. "Calm your breath", she said to you, "Put it out of your veins" When she smiled you screamed so loud, Unexplainable fear you felt. You are doomed - she'll not go out. Your love turns into hell. These lips that you kissed, These hands that you held, It's all deadly pale. Illusion so frail. Death is behind you. Pray that she founds you And takes you away In lovely embraces of hope. Dying hope. Do you hear the call Of your dying love? In these shades of mist. She will be exist.

The darkness is here, the death is so near. Eternal thy fear. The moment of light has died in the night, Lonely we cried. Right in the eye of the dark I'm looking without fear. There is no hope in my heart. My thoughts are so unclear. I'm here because I'm alone, Depressed reflections Of time that lost. Without rejections I am the ghost. Now I'm in cold embraces Of the speechless abyss. I've drown in slough of despond. I sent my last farewell to cruel Fate. I'm tired of fight for life. Now it's too late.
6.
Silent breath of hope Silent dream of life fades Light of lonely star Shadow of the truth Sweetness of the lie fades Every sin of world fades All "eternal" love All our "endless" hate Shining of the day fades Daylight fades
7.
Something crawls between the trees. Shining shadow in the mist. Not the light of deadwhite moon. Creepy messenjer of doom. Standing in the graveyard's void. Stones in soil are half-destroyed. On my shouldre feel her hand. Time behind me - only sand. I see beloved eyes On deadly face of ghost. I feel beloved lips. In sorrow we've been lost. Even the Death could not separate us. She fell in my embrace. And we drowned in dance. Dance beside her grave. Our tears of happiness Were full of blood. I prayed she took me with her Away from world. I did not know, that danced alone Beside her grave. I am alone, I am so far from home. She is not here, but I'm stiil hear Funeral waltz, funeral waltz. I'm alone.

about

In this all-consuming void begins to be born fog. Fog that hangs over the endless ocean by leaden oppression. Silence kills. Water does not move. Only a lone ship, dark and mysterious, silently follows a slow stream. And no matter where it floats. After all, there is no one. Absolute solitude. No one can hear the desperate cries for help. There is only you and your terrible thoughts and memories of the past. Maybe it's time to end it all? Indeed, in this slough of despond death has never been greater. And you can not do anything with it.

Music, lyrics, recording - Talsur.
Cover - Ivan Aivazovsky "Calm" in 1885.
