Cold
Surrounded by death
Corrupted by life
This life is no life
Surrounded by death
Surrounded by death
Corrupted by life
This life is no life
Surrounded by death
Skylines darken, storm clouds ahead
Why did you leave us?
We need you here
No, this is no life
These thoughts, it is no life
These dreams, it is no life
These thoughts, it is no life
These walls, it is no life
These thoughts, it is no life
This life, it is no life
This life, it is no life

The feint light, it feels like peace
I can’t remember, not again
Done this before, time and again
I want to die, let me die
You took the light, it’s all I had
How can you steal from yourself?
I’m not enough to be alive
I did my best, it’s all I have
You fell too far
You sang too loud
Loved too hard
You were so strong
And now you’re gone
We are gone
I can’t feel my arms, legs or body
My breathing sharpens I’m failing
I keep falling into darkness that causes me to hurt myself
All alone I weep and bleed as the voices, they scream at me
I keep falling into darkness, sabotaged by my own grief
Tear at my skin and claw my eyes so I no longer feel or see
My eyes are turning black, my body wants to die
My eyes are turning black, my body’s trying to die
You fell too far
You sang too loud
Loved too hard
Become the dusteater now
You’ll go beyond
And you will find the halls so tranquiline
Go beyond
Go beyond

Descendent, avert your eyes
Venom in me
This serpent writhes amongst our genes
Devours you, devours me
Our shared curse consuming you
Devours me
Remember me, our poisoned breed
Remember me, remember me
When the poisoned blood runs through, consumes my mind
Will you cut me open and drain—?
Child, avert your eyes
Venom in me
The sickness clouds our memories
Shadows over me
Ashes of my mind
Scattered to the cold wind
Don’t remember me like this
Descendant, avert your eyes
Venom in me
This serpent writhes amongst our genes
Devours me
Devour me

The halls are cold and silent
And the light won’t reach my eyes
These moments pass like arrows
And leave scars upon my soul
I can’t be with you
Though silence calls to me
I was meant to stay
But my heart is with you there
All these thoughts remain with you
Until my last breath
I’ll remove my heart
Until I can see you again
I open my wounds and try to heal
I’ll wear these scars until I can see you again
Until I can see you again
Too fragile to hold
A missing piece of me
But when I close my eyes
You’re in my arms again
Don’t let me wake
Alone again
I’ll keep
You with me
‘till my end
My eyes are blurred
My eyes are blurred
My senses numb
World forgotten
I lie awake
I can’t be
Though silence calls
I was meant to stay
Though my heart is with you there
These thoughts remain
Until my last
I’ll remove my heart
Until I can see you again
As I close my eyes
You’re in my arms
Don’t let me wake
Alone again

Dimscûa England, UK
Post-metal/atmospheric sludge from Berkshire, UK.
Not quite pronounced like "Dim Skewer" band.

The Long Road North

CoL's most brooding and terrestrial project since Eternal Kingdom. As someone who initially fell in love with their more direct stuff (Vertikal, Salvation) getting into the more atmospheric side of their work has been a long road. To say atmospheric does not mean soft though. This album is like being pummelled by a blizzard.

The Melbourne doomsayers drown blackened riffs in necrotic stoner sludge for a heavy, heady sound.

It has taken me years to appreciate Psychonaut’s approach to progressive metal, which is equal parts post-metal and psychedelic, but now, as I have come to realise, they are a lot more distinct-sounding and coherent than several of their contemporaries. I do see some similarities to The Ocean (which is probably why I finally like Psychonaut), but the music here is less busy, less aggressive, and a bit warmer. World Maker sadly features one bad song, but the rest are total fire! Powerful stuff.
