I. In the wake...

Untamed and calm
This river rushes
The source
The inception
The cradle
The end
Awaiting us all
Daughters and sons
Cleansing, clear water
Gently flows in our veins
To alleviate earthly torment
To purify filthy souls
To free us from sin
A taste of salvation
We are urged down to the surge
You come here to drink
Drench all the fears
The dull sound of the waves
Whispers into your ears
Confide to the river
Give in into the stream
And storms will calm down
Inside of you
The river cries for thee
Fill me up, river
And dry my eyes
Engulf my body
Unbind the tides
Come closer orphan divine
For I am recognition
Hear my rotten word
For it is redemption
Drink from my blackened blood
For I'm blight and decay
I will guide your fragile step
For I am seduction
Wash it all off!
I become river
I become stone
Once more
No more

II. ...of stygian nights
10:09

A shiver, a shudder
Precedes the decline
Isolated and alone
In the blackness
So vicious the night
I am frozen in fear
A glare in my eyes
Illusion of life
Dissolves in the dark
A nest of snakes
Arouses in my chest
Coils through my veins
Tears through my flesh
The hydra‘s awake
I am caught in her lair
Forever slave to the serpent
My blood starts to boil
I am torn by her fangs
Your whisper's my guide
Your lies are my truth
The hydras awake
You are caught in my lair
Your body paralyzed
Defeated, dismantled
Forever slave to the serpent
Asphyxiated by madness
Im just a shade of myself
In futile search of a light
With blinded eyes open wide
The waves will not calm
Im a slave to your will
The poison spreads
Clouding my mind
Hopeless, petrified
I will never win this fight
The hydra‘s awake
A thousand tearing teeth
Severing, ensnaring
Forever bow to the serpent

With their heads leaning against the bare strings of light and madness. A feral collective.

Towards The Tomb Of Times
by NAXEN
supported by 22 fans who also own “To Drown...”
Naxen is a German trio playing classic "Norwegian" style BM with doom passages, which in my opinion adds a twist to the oh-so-stomped-chosen-path of the so-called 2nd wave black metal horde. It's almost too slow at times for me, but I can really appreciate the technical prowess from these relatively new guys. The second part, I agree, is where they really stand out! Weiter so!

Ofte jeg drømmer mig død
by AFSKY
supported by 19 fans who also own “To Drown...”
The cover painting (Udslidt by H A Brendekilde, if anyone is interested) and the music is in perfect alignment. So much sorrow, so much despair... Right from the start I can feel my soul wither away with each riff. Still, towards the end of the record I can catch little glimpses of hope in the melodies. A beautiful journey in the bleak reality of existence.
