This hull was given
Lifetime anew.
Disembarked from dark into entity
as no life ever left timelessness.
A Peculiar sense of Bitterness
Fills a void that should be effaced
When outsides are reflected
With marrow barely limned.
Life becomes predictable
Fading behind the known of time.
Strife for life replaceable.
A thriving being, a dividual.
Self falls apart (The lights, the lights, the lights, the lights dim)
I feel strange at heart. Lights dim. (The lights, the lights, the lights, and the lights dim)
Born being denied traits that one needs to make difference.
Enveloped by possession of foreigners heir.
Forced to bear a burden as sole devisee.
Entangled to a lifetime prior to the scheme.
Oh, what makes disbelief fill a casing that is defined
By the internal individuality solely?
It's a prospect that delineates grief
For identity that's naturally given elsewise to anyone alive.
Albeit what rules given all beings grow driven.
Albeit what rules given all beings deem striven.
Albeit what rules given all beings dwell riven.
In the face of frontiers we thrive, we aim, we exult in tears, we strive, we
claim, are being distraught, are caught in fears, we pressure the thought of draught, yet
gain, ideas are revered, new views obtained, above is the rain below the
drain, the strain is adhered, the voices tamed, the picture is cleared, a world insane.
Born being denied traits one needs to make difference.
Enveloped by possession of foreigners heir.
Forced to bear a burden as sole devisee.
Entangled to a lifetime prior to the scheme.
You can deny distinct pace
May even direct what came to pass before but you'll
Never let reoccur what can't be
Found to be consensual entirely.
Life's not bargained away by a blueprint.
We thrive in crooked ways as we climb and fall, to each his own.
For a while you wonder and sit aghast.
Do Humans stifle, a petty trifle with their past?
Only time will tell.
Those dreadful thoughts will not recur anymore.
In the deep and yonder, at long last,
All anguish scattered, doubts left shattered. Mind blithe and vast.
Shed the agony.
Those dreadful thoughts will not recur anymore.
This hull was given
Lifetime anew.
Disembarked from dark into entity
as no life ever left timelessness.
Rejection of the notion
Replaced what once was disbelief.
When outsides are reflected
Intuit the souls to shine!
Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back. Facepalming Panda
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
