Would you live to see
What becomes of you and me
Would you take a vow
Upon this ship’s cleaving bow
And when I call across the dark
You hear me
Transmission pierces the night
Receiving
And every vision speaks of time
Blind eyes see
And when I fall I know you rise
World ending
Can you bear to be
The fate of everything that’s me
Can you have no doubt
Armies of men will rout
Will you deliver them
And salvage cruelty instead
Will you break apart
If only for my heart
Run aground on scarred rock shores
Becalmed as long as shadows fall
Now the light becomes a sound
We are gathered in the storm
And when I’m here in the night
You call me
Transmission swallowed by the day
Silencing
And every vision now is blind
Speak lightly
And as I end I watch you rise
World falling
Did you think of me
When fortune stole silently
Did you send us all
Below the sky, above the wall
OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
