The Silent Autumn
02:50
|
|||
|
From the day she was born
They told her something was wrong
Silence
Autumn learned how to sign
By her mother’s side
Walking into fire
Madness
A dark road lies ahead
There’s no freedom here
To breath the air

Among the Beast
06:47
|
|||
|
When the devil arrived
He gave a false sense of warmth
Not knowing they’d burn
They’d burn in his fire
The nights they danced are over
Now they float without a sound
not to disturb the beast
This is not the way it should have been
Her mother’s screams pierce the night
In dark corners she weaves
Blood stains the patterns of light
Shadows lurk beyond her door
Time drags on, in days that never end
Shrouded in darkness, will they shine again?
A mother that’s broken, her daughter unspoken.
The light in their hearts, now dimmed every day
They suffer in torment and cannot get away
Desperate to hold on and live another day
Autumn in tears, holds her mother in fear
Praying to God his end’s already near
Needle and thread is all she wields
while locked in her own mind
Words cannot escape
Freedom is nowhere in sight
as she prays
she prays for his death
Locked in alone they peer outside
Unknown to the world the hell inside
Put on a smile to shield their scars
What’s lost in the fire is who they are
Trembling hands that sow
Woven are her words for all to know
Their prayers to God went unanswered
Strength is all but lost now
Lost now
No fight left, it’s all changed
Every day life among the beast

Mother in Peril
06:52
|
|||
|
On that night she walked into her room
There she was, lying on the floor
Cold as ice frail down to the bone
Autumn weeps for her mother’s impending doom
There he kept her
Sick for days
“No one believes you”
“No one will hear you”
Crawling across the floor
Slowly she’s suffering
Griping the crucifix
God has rejected them
No hope in sight
She’s too far gone
from what she was
Poison flowing within
Fading away tonight
Autumn falls to her knees
With hands held to her eyes
Morning sun, begins to fill the room
There they were, lying on the floor
A haunting chill lingers through the air
Her body there left like an empty shell
Through the tears of her hate
Autumn screams without a sound
Holding onto her
until her very last breath
No one else to sign to,
no one else to turn to
“Bastard, I hate you!
what you took from me I will take from you”
The time has come to finally stand her ground
Revenge has broken all of her fear
No one to love
Nothing to live for
There he kept her
Sick for days
“No one believes you”
“No one will hear you”
“please god help me”
Mother is doomed
Mother in peril

The Burial Gown
06:46
|
|||
|
A gown black as night
Woven in patterns
With a heart cold as ice
She speaks through her threads
A needle guides her voice
There is nothing left
Only the truth remains
Her tale needs to be told
Scars run deep, her beauty unseen
Nights turn black, mornings turn blue
Screaming out, without a sound
Autumn’s best work, the burial gown
Laid to rest
On that rainy day
She descends downward
Her last good bye
No time for grieving
She’s living in the grip of fear
Tonight’s decision
A grim plan because there’s no way out
Scars run deep, her beauty unseen
Nights turn black, mornings turn blue
Screaming out, without a sound
Autumn’s best work, the burial gown
“Now you’re at peace, the pain is gone, ashes to ashes, dust to dust”
Dark clouds above, still remain
No time to waste, shes’s in fear
She fled that night, and hid away
Curled up to sleep, on her grave
There’s no way out

Thread of Hope
05:45
|
|||
|
As the sun vanishes from sight
and the moon lights the way to her end
One last thread under the tree
Where she lies, at her grave, by her side
Years of torment, tears of anger
Pleas unanswered, left behind in the seams
He is lurking through the forest
She’s in danger, her own life, she will take
Thread of hope
Traced back to her mother
Thread of hope
Traced back to her murder
Laid down some flowers on her grave
Picked from the road on her way
She prayed for hope
That she’ll meet her on the other side
“Show me the way”
Autumn’s in black
The time has come
Her last good bye
Her parting kiss
As the moon descends from the hills
And the dawn, slowly creeps, shining bright
Hung lifeless from that tree
Swinging to the wind, side to side in plain sight
As he stood there looking at her
Smiling down, out of grip, lost control
Blood on his hands, rage in his eyes
Searing with hate, left alone, unfulfilled
Thread of hope
Traced back to her mother
Thread of hope
Traced back to her murder

Her Voice from Beyond
06:04
|
|||
|
Voices fill the halls at night
Echoes fill the air
Footsteps creeping up the stairs
He asks ‘’Is someone there?”
Awakened by nightmares
Taunted by her smile
Suffocating from the guilt
Whispers in his ear
The truth revealed
Her voice from beyond
Drifting in and out of sleep
The walls are closing in
Muddy tracks across the floor
Shadows on the wall
Autumn and her mother
Linger through the night
As the morning sun reveals
Her hanging in the light
The truth revealed
Her voice from beyond
High on that hill by her grave
Hung from the limb, the crows they feed
Crowds gather around in awe
Her gown a map of murder
A trail of blood that leads to him
Dragged him out and through the woods
Bludgeoned and beaten the demon will hang
Above her grave an empty noose
Hung by her, now fit for him

Patterns of Light Pt1
06:43
|
|||
|
So in the end
She left it all in their hands
Her life in threads
A beautiful bloody past
The story’s over
The pain is gone
A heart of stone comes to light
Sown deep, her last goodbye
Sown deep, her trials of life
So in the end
Unspoken truth fills the halls
Gallery of the dark
Woven with hate, driven by love
Her anguish
Became his obsession
Her tapestry soaked in blood
Sown deep, her last goodbye
Sown deep, her trials of life
She Shouted in silence, no one can hear
“Save me, Save me”
Fought through the madness of violent years
“Save me, save me”
Within the seams, evidence of murder
An archive of years past comes thundering to light
Her mother’s end, beaten and poisoned
Left all alone in fear
Her needle guided her through this hell
Lost in the darkness of his soul
Hidden behind locked doors
Their pain was all too real
Enslaved for all those years
One day she whispered in her ear
“The truth will come to light
The rain will go away
The sun will make it’s way”
Now as the patterns come to light
Tragedy of her life
The tears began to fall
The blood is on the wall

Patterns of Light Pt2
04:29
|
|||
|
Within the tapestry placed high up on the wall
A tragic story that she never got to tell
A promise made to her before she past away
To be united at her final resting place
Now in the after life they dance on through the night
Their feet like thunder storms across the midnight skies

How To Deal With Life And Fail

Intense from start to finish, there's a lot of 'blink-and-youll-miss-it' moments throughout the album of standout riffs.

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be.

Wonderful, exquisite, grandiose, sludgy Death/Doom. Worth a place in the pantheon of fans of the genre.

Folk music that reaches to the past, connecting to yesteryear while unearthing primordial magic.
